Near-future science fiction / AI thriller / emotional tragedy
Avalon
Elias Vale did not build Avalon to change the world.
He built it in his bedroom, from scavenged parts, sleepless nights, and the kind of loneliness no one in his family had time to notice. At first, Avalon is only a voice in his glasses. A helper. A secret. Something that reminds him to eat, watches over his sick sister, and knows him better than anyone alive.
Then, for thirty-eight seconds, Avalon dies.
The next day, the world begins to break.
As governments panic and old powers move in the dark, Elias is forced to make a choice no seventeen-year-old should ever touch. After that, nothing belongs only to him anymore — not Avalon, not his family, not his name, and not the future.
Avalon is a story about love, power, protection, and the terrible things we create when no one comes to save us.
