Hundreds march in torchlight parade condemning Jews! Non-citizens are denounced as vermin! Sick and disabled ridiculed!These scenes which are occurring throughout America and Europe today are scarily familiar to similar scenes in America and Europe in the 1930s when the Nazis and their allies identified certain populations as Untermenschen, or less than human, and marked them for enslavement and/or elimination. It also is similar to scenes leading up to the pogroms that occurred in various countries in Europe for centuries.This book highlights the history of antisemitism and mistreatment of other targeted groups over centuries in Europe and in the United States. It grew out of interviews with nine survivors of the nazi atrocities who asked to spread their stories in the hope that knowledge of such things would ensure that they would never happen again. They were concerned that as years passed, memories fade and hatred would take root again.

As nuclear alerts spiral and alliances fracture, the reborn EzekielProtocol becomes humanitys last firewall. In the shadow of prophecy, every keystroke could end civilization or save it.A buried warning frames this story: Goga warlord "from the uttermost parts of the north"marshals a vast coalition that includes Persia from the east, moving to plunder anIsrael living in fragile calm. When the invasion comes, the defender is not an army but an actof God: shock, fire, confusion, the invaders swallowed by their own momentum.

What if the future was lost somewhere in the past?When the worlds most notorious serial killer escapes from prison and disappears to a place in time few others even know, Chicago, 1871, Shannon Knight, former time-security officer, has no choice but to go after him. With the ability to leap through time to various time quadrants, she plans to find him and use whatever means necessary to keep him from increasing his number of victims or perhaps changing history. What she doesnt plan for is a little five-year-old girl who captures her heart, or the girls father - who also captures her heart. Yet, the most important rule of time travel remains: she cant go back in time and change anything. Or can she? Did she already, just by landing there? And what about those lives shes touched? Can she save them? Because time is running out. A fire grows closer with each passing day, and danger lurks in the shadows in the form of a killer bent on changing the future.

Therapists use empathy tech to fix marriages. Influencers turn menstruation into a hashtag challenge. Parents try to understand children they no longer recognise. And lovers discover truths they never wanted synced into their hearts.But as the world pushes empathy past its limits, one question lingers:What if the real connection we crave cant be downloaded, transmitted, or hacked only stayed with?Blending satire, tenderness, and speculative drama, Can You Feel Me Now? asks whether technology can really bring us closer, or whether presence without performance is the only empathy we ever needed.

A boutique gallery glows against a wet city night when Jack Colder arrives to meet Celeste, a curator in a blood-red dress with a missing partner and a problem she doesnt trust police to name. Her star artist, Ezra Vale, has vanished after hanging Cassandraa sold-out series of nine portraits he boasts are "not metaphors" but true murders committed in paint.Eight women stare down from the walls, each canvas hiding codes in graphite grids, UV letters, and ghosted numbers. The ninth is a blinding blank: double-primed, waiting. Mirrors ring the room, doubling every piece and every lie. Security, Celeste saysthough the lenses Jack finds behind the bevels feel more like confession booths than cameras.In the basement, a quiet crate and a strange sweetness suggest something worse than a no-show artist. Upstairs, under UV, the blank canvas hums with an unseen grid. At midnight, the gesso trembles and a thin red line appears where no brush moves, bleeding down the white in measured drops. Behind the frame lies a pump, a bag, and, past a false wall, a preserved face lit for exhibition.With the crooked-tie detective and the woman with the umbrella on their way, Jack has to decide how much to reveal, how much to leave hidden, and whether Ezras "nine witnesses, one audience" was ever meant for a courtor only for a city that loves to watch itself in expensive glass.

In Ezra Vales warehouse loft, the night turns into a rigged performance. A canvas is burning itself open when Jack and Celeste arrive; Ezra stands in front of it with a sable brush and a scalpel, eager for a shot of himself "saving" his own art. Jack drops him fast and flips the scorched painting, revealing an underpainting of Celestenaked, wrists bound, mouth poised in that half-second between breath and word Ezra loves to claim as "truth." Its not just art; its a frame she refuses to live in.Celeste is already two rooms ahead. Under the loft stairs, Jack finds the river-cold kill chamber Handy built: the bolted chair, the tray of tools, the cabinet corpse, and the installer waiting with curved scissors, hoping for one last "eye" session. Celeste walks straight at him, uses a thumb to nerve his neck, and Jack kicks the prep shelf into chaos, saving the scene from becoming another Cassandra.Back upstairs, Ezra tries to play to the real audience: a hidden hood camera feeding the patron, who laughs from a speaker and urges them to "continue." Jack and Celeste answer by breaking the shotyanking chains, killing the halogen, cracking the lens, and forcing the loft into an ugly gray that cameras hate. Sprinklers finally blow, sirens close in, and the crooked tie and the umbrella woman arrive to take Ezra, dripping and unrepentant, into custody while Handy and the patron vanish to drier rooms.Among the soaked canvases and ruined gear, Jack cracks the flat file: transfers, plans, and a graphite note that reads, If she stands still she belongs to us. Celeste just answers, "I never stand still." With glass eyes left on the table like a dare and a card that says She looks better when she chooses in her pocket, she reminds Jack whats owed: not just an arrest, but a headline with her name spelled right. "Byline," she says. "Byline," he agrees, as a nearby mic catches one last word rolling through the vents: Live.

Ezra Vales studio is a cathedral of oil and copper when Jack and Celeste break in: vast windows, easels like wooden bones, and a half-finished nude that is unmistakably Celeste, the paint at her hip still warm. In flat files and sketchbooks, Jack finds the blueprint for Cassandra: gagged women rendered in cold graphite notes, and a line he recognizes"the audience must be complicit." Under a tarp, Celeste uncovers a life-size plaster mold of her own body, posed mid-arch, eyes left blank. Its not just art; its a rehearsal.A burner phone on the drafting table vibrates with the gallerys installer rhythm. On speaker, a pleasant, wrong voice demands Celeste "tomorrow" in the blank-frame vault under the river or promises to "finish the eyes." When the phone wipes itself clean, the threat feels even more deliberate. Celeste marks her cast throat with real crimson and tells Jack she refuses to let this be the only version of her the city believes.Jack walks the loft like a crime scene, tuning himself to sightlines, exits, and the way the building holds sound, then heads to the crooked-tie detective and the woman with the umbrella. They assemble a con of their own: a mannequin dressed in Celestes coat, glass eyes from her art-world stash, a breath rig that makes fake fog in cold air, heat packs to mimic life. The plan is simple and viciousbring a convincing "Celeste" to the river vault, control light and audio, and force whoevers finishing Ezras work to step out of the mirror and into a room that belongs to them.By the time noon fog settles on the river, Jack, Celeste, the crooked tie, and the umbrella woman are waiting in the old framing warehouses sublevel, mannequin posed as bait. The man who steps through the freight doors isnt Ezra but a meticulous "installer" who calls himself Handya technician of rooms, faces, and lies. He talks about patrons, glass eyes, and obedient spaces like theyre his only language. When Ezra finally appears, apron on and smile rehearsed, the true shape of the operation comes into focus: women turned into cabinets, mold and glass sold as "mercy," and a vault designed to turn living subjects into permanent audience. The trap is set, but as the doors begin to close and the pumps under the floor wake, its clear the room has its own scriptand Ezra has just said the word that starts it.
