Hey all, you know how internet searches suck now? When the results are awful, full-of-AI, death-of-the-internet levels of bad?
Start appending date constraints to your searches - "before:2023".
My results have gone from 90% AI bullshit to ~60% usable - which frankly at this point is a huge improvement.

What If Love Is Enough
Turns out that I am not done with Manifest and Ben Stone yet. This moodboard was just something fun I put together... until it triggered an alternate universe set around an immortal/male OC to turn Ben’s not-so-normal life upside down. In which the meaning of callings, death dates, fate and love take on a new form too. Oh yes, and Ben literally gets swept off his feet (points at the tags).
Anyway... this story kinda completely took over my life too these past couple of weeks, but it is done, so I’m setting it free in one go; all five chapters.

Summary
Tonight Ben answers a powerful calling to lead him to the Silver Dragon Bar. To drinking whisky, flirting and playing pool… but then one should never bet against the house. Not when he comes in the shape of the handsome bar owner to hold an unexpected pull over his lonely heart. When Ben finds solace in the old soul to show him there is a reason for them meeting; one that goes beyond the so raw and mutual physical attraction. An underlying connection to run deeper than science. Defiant of time and/or death dates. To leave Ben behind with more questions than answers, until he realises why he's never felt more alive.
