Nova erases memories—until a phantom in her implant speaks. She breaks the rules for its truth, with deadly consequences. Hunted, she risks her life to stop their final update: severing emotion from the mind forever.
THE MEMORY POLICE X THE POWER

A mock movie poster for a book "The Last Word" tagline: "Some things can't be erased" an upmarket speculative fiction set to query in fall 2025. A woman stands in a wheat field with a dark figure before her. A city with a tall spire stands in the background. A circle of light and data spins around the point of the tower. a double exposure of tower lights are superimposed in front of it. The image is dark and foreboding.

A kiss is never just a kiss.

From my upmarket speculative WIP about memory, identity, and the ghosts we carry.

#WIPsnip #FirstKiss #SpecFic #AmWriting #UpmarketFiction #WritingCommunity
A softly lit romantic excerpt set in a forest at night. A woman leans in, emotionally overwhelmed, and shares a reverent first kiss with a man who once nearly killed her. The moment is quiet, redemptive, and intimate. They stay close, wrapped in each other’s arms, as the fire crackles and the trees sway around their fragile peace.

Final post for #questpit ✨

Thank you everyone!

Here’s a streamlined look at THE LAST WORD for agents and readers who want a quick glance.🧡

Emotion is outlawed. Memory is rewritten.
Soft rebellion, found family, slow-burn epic romance—and hope in the dark.

#W #A #S #SF
Title slide: “THE LAST WORD – Upmarket Speculative Fiction” with comparison books Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro and The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa. Dark atmospheric background with glowing white title text. Pitch text: “Emotion is outlawed. Memory is rewritten. Nova erases memories for the regime, but when a glitching implant shows her a phantom in the code, she must choose obedience—or a truth she was never meant to remember.” Themes listed include found family, soft rebellion, trauma and recovery, slow-burn romance, and hope in the darkness. Images of a woman walking in misty mountains, a glowing neural network, and a silhouette at sunset. Quote: “I saw you under the maple tree.” Followed by atmospheric pitch lines: “A voice she can’t forget. A past they tried to erase. A choice that could break her—or set her free.” Visuals of blood on a wall, a tactical soldier, and a futuristic city skyline. Nine-image aesthetic grid: futuristic cityscapes, a cabin in the woods, digital patterns, a forest, broken glass, and a lone figure walking into mist. Emphasis on contrast between nature and surveillance tech.

In an unsettlingly plausible future, emotion is outlawed. Memories are rewritten.

Nova’s implant malfunctions—
a voice slips through the static.
Now she’s running from a kill order, guided by a ghost no one else can hear.

Image with the title “Agent Guide to THE LAST WORD” in large glowing white text over a dark, moody background of a dimly lit wall and benches. Subtitle reads “Speculative Fiction.” The tone is ominous and atmospheric. Text slide titled “PITCH” over the same moody background. Describes a speculative novel set in a world where emotion is outlawed and memories are rewritten. The protagonist, Nova, is a neural rewriter who begins to hear a rogue voice in the code, challenging everything she thought she knew. Explores themes of identity, memory, and resistance. Slide titled “COMPS” featuring covers of Never Let Me Go, The Power, The Memory Police, Ex Machina, Arrival, and Black Mirror. Bullet points draw comparisons to themes like identity, memory, AI, slow-burn romance, emotional restraint, speculative control, rebellion, and surveillance states. Slide titled “EXCERPT.” Features a scene in which Nova sees a phantom appear during a blackout—flickering like an old video file. He speaks to her, referencing past pain she tried to forget. The moment ends with a whisper: “I saw you under the maple tree.” A terminal window activates on its own and her restraints fall away. Tone is eerie, emotional, cinematic.
