Miller, C.K. – Freerunner

October 3, 2026 · In: 20th

A freerunner without the biotech upgrades everyone else has.
A secret his inventor father refuses to explain.
And a technology that turns fear into monsters.


Freerunning is my edge.

I sprint rooftops, fly gaps, and own drops that make normal people freeze. But no matter how hard I push, there’s always someone better.

Because of the NeoGen bracers.
Viral tech that rewires your body to move faster, hit harder, see in the dark—even look filter-perfect. Everyone who matters has one.

Except me.

I’m Flip Carson, and I’m falling behind.
Here’s the part that makes no sense: my dad invented the bracers… and he refuses to let me anywhere near one.

Turns out breaking into his secure lab is easier than convincing him.

But the moment I strap one on, everything goes sideways.
The bracers don’t just upgrade your body.
They weaponize your fears.

Now I’m seeing things no one else reacts to. Creatures built from my worst nightmares.
And they can hurt me.

The bracers aren’t a breakthrough.
They’re a weapon.
And the corporation behind them will do anything to keep the truth buried.

Now I’m not just running to belong.
I’m running to stay free.

Because if the bracers can turn fear into monsters…
what happens when the whole world plugs in?
