The Stasis PodContemporary Romance

di Shari Malin (Autore)

Shari Malin, 2025

Kasey Dey, a brilliant neurobiologist, is on the front lines of the Prometheus Initiative, a revolutionary stasis program that incarcerates violent felons by placing them in a peaceful state of suspended animation. The program, hailed as a triumph of scientific progress, promises a new era of restorative justice and societal salvation. But Kasey begins to notice subtle, disturbing anomalies in her subjects' neural data—persistent 'mental grooves' that suggest a deeper, more insidious process is at work than mere rehabilitation. Driven by a meticulous ethical compass, Kasey's investigation leads her to a chilling truth: the stasis pods, originally designed for therapeutic recalibration, have been perverted into a sophisticated tool for psychological torment. The program's true purpose, she discovers, is to systematically dismantle the human psyche, amplifying the subjects' deepest traumas and fears. When a subject dies after an experimental session, Kasey's fears are brutally confirmed, and she realizes the system she once believed in is a monstrous lie. Confronted with her findings, her colleague, Dr. Aris Sacca, reveals the terrifying truth behind the program's funding and its true architect: Gaylord Petricka, a man driven by a profound, personal vendetta. Petricka, using the stasis program as a tool for vengeance, begins to turn his attention to Kasey herself, framing her as a rogue element and a threat to his absolute control. Trapped in a meticulously constructed digital labyrinth of her own deepest insecurities, Kasey must use her scientific intellect to decipher Sacca's hidden messages, a desperate digital rebellion woven into the very fabric of her psychological torment. Her fight is not just for her own survival, but for the lives of every individual trapped within the digital abyss, and for the soul of science itself. Can Kasey escape Petricka's mind-bending prison, expose the truth to the world, and confront the architects of her nightmare before her own consciousness is erased forever?
