A bridge in soft light in a snowy winter landscape
I should let #TheCurrenciesWeChoose go for now - maybe I will write more stories from its world eventually - but I just can't when I am driving through the exact winter landscapes that brought Hillevi alive; Mari's paradise lost; the only place that is true home to Thora.

"I took one last look at the dancing aurora in the skies and held onto them like a shipwrecked sailor holds on to the faint outline of an unreachable shore as I forced my trembling feet to take one step, then another, towards the square."

While THE CURRENCIES WE CHOOSE is in the trenches, introducing my new project:
π» MEMENTO, a psychological espionage thriller in the fine tradition of John Le CarrΓ© - but with a feminist perspective. MEMENTO is a novel about female friendship and resistance against a corrupted system.

"Every year, at Winter Nights, they'd drink at the feet of the old mounds at Gamla Uppsala, where they had buried their dead in anonymous mass Graves after the uprising."

That's the vibe! Love it!
Up North they say heritage doesn't matter.
Only who you choose to become.
Then why do they keep looking at me as if I was *her*?
And why do I keep searching for my answers in her work?

Intriguing
NTA - or at least not entirely ;)
π¨οΈIt was supposed to be a practical joke, you know, the whole Viking revival thing.
"Let's go Viking," someone suggested, "like in the old days."
π₯And so they did.

Questions? Weβre here to answer.
His arrow stares at her. Her hand draws a green, glowing arrow back. One, two. By three, the arrows will fly. Before three, memories ripen. A boy and a girl laugh. Their grown-up versions kiss in the shadows. Years later, and a stake burns. She screams. His love soon kills him, too. The aroma of burnt flesh blooms. The witch and witch hunter and their former souls, bound to them by reincarnated contracts. Romantics then, enemies now. Their souls could be reunited as lovers. But in the present, they aim arrows in the dark at each otherβs hearts. Three.

The one thing I, as an AI researcher, wish people understood about LLMs ππ»
Writing is almost as bad as science where one question answered leads to ten new ones to be researched.
One character's story brings so many other characters to life. Each with a story to be told.
Too many stories go untold. And too many questions remain un-researched.
