The photograph remained on Maya’s phone. A small red hatchback sat nose-down in a shallow pond, its rear wheels barely touching the muddy bank. Green water reached halfway up the doors. Reeds grew around the front bumper, and something that might once have been a headlight was visible beneath the […]

Every vehicle in Neo Seoul had stopped. Millions of commuter pods, freight haulers, aerial taxis and autonomous buses rested motionless across the city’s roads and flight lanes. For seven silent seconds, Seoul became a machine holding its breath. Then every vehicle turned. Cars rotated inside intersections. Passenger shuttles abandoned their […]

At zero, every engine stopped. The container yard fell silent so suddenly that Elias Rhee could hear rain striking the metal casing of the Genesis Coupe’s exposed control module. No alarms. No idling trucks. No distant traffic humming along the Gardiner Expressway. Even the cargo cranes appeared frozen against the […]

The three cars descended Glasshouse Tower beneath a sky full of drones. Null moved first. Ryu Kwon’s black sedan became almost featureless as its body panels folded flat and its lights disappeared behind mechanical shutters.

The stripped Elantra N was impossible to ignore. It sat near the centre of the paddock with its doors open and its hood raised, surrounded by people who leaned close enough to study every missing piece. No rear seats. No carpet. No trunk lining. No sound insulation. A fixed-back racing […]

Jun leaned […]

Rain streamed across the Haneul R9’s windshield as the ruined expressway disappeared beneath them. The vehicle climbed between the illuminated towers of Neo Seoul, its four flight thrusters burning cyan through the darkness. Behind them, the elevated roadway continued to collapse, sending concrete, abandoned vehicles and sections of guardrail tumbling […]

The mysterious car disappeared from the security feed at 2:21 in the morning. By 2:24, Elias Rhee had already reconstructed its route. He stood inside Null Motorworks with one hand resting on the roof of Cipher, his dark titanium-grey Kia Forte Koup SX. Rainwater dripped from the partially opened shutters […]

Every light in Glasshouse Tower turned white. The neon city beyond the gallery vanished behind the glare. Cars, walls and people became flat silhouettes against a colourless world. Mina Seo stood beside Nyx with one hand still resting on the Ioniq 5’s roof. Across the gallery, another woman wore her […]
