Nook Sleep Systems Novels & Stories

THE NEXT day afternoon, NORA COULDN'T stop tossing and turning on her bed. She couldn't sleep, she couldn't do her home projects, she couldn't even count to ten without getting distracted. She just couldn't shake off the feeling of acknowledgment that was buzzing inside her. She needed to talk to someone. Nora straightened abruptly from her bed and reached for the walkie-talkie she and Max shared. The walkie-talkie was one of the many presents Max had gotten on his birthday which they'd turned into their personal medium of communication.

An office nook with three monitors arranged in a curve, schematics still open on the central screen: the next-generation prosthetic knee joint she was developing for NovaTech's Q4 release. Everything in its place. Everything controlled. Nothing soft. She padded to the kitchen and poured the cold coffee down the sink, watching the dark liquid spiral into the drain. Her phone buzzed on the counter. A notification from her security system: *Motion detected — exterior hallway, 3:52 AM.* She froze. Her security system was custom-built. Not off-the-shelf, not connected to any cloud service, not vulnerable to the kind of hacks that compromised commercial systems. She'd coded the firmware herself, s

“It’s not only his afternoon nap that’s difficult, Mum. He doesn’t sleep well at night either. Last night, I took Noah to sleep in my room. His mother was already asleep, but he kept playing by himself.” “Oh, really?” Mawar paused her work for a moment when she heard about her grandson. “Yes. I only managed to fall asleep around one in the morning because Noah refused to sleep.” Nathan complained. “Haha... What was Noah playing with in the middle of the night?” Mawar asked with great interest. “He was jumping around on the bed. Playing with robots, toy cars, basically anything he could find in the room. What are you working on, Mum?” Nathan began to grow curious about the sketch Mawar was wo

Werewolf said that he’d have some guys from the security company go out in the morning to install a full system. “I don’t want it telling me when to take a shit.” Ink grinned and the other Saints, except Sticks, laughed. “That was not funny.” Sticks grumbled. “It sure as hell was.” Dino laughed. “Don’t worry, I don’t think you have teenagers that think it would be funny to schedule time for you to shit.” Deuce added. “Your alarm system can do that?” Isiah asked. “It’s a whole automated system. Control the temperature, turn lights on and off, hell it can even make you coffee when you get up.”

Andrea patted the bed beside her,"You can sleep here" "With you"Louis asked. His green eyes widened in surprise. Andrea stared up at him for a few seconds and went back to looking at her phone,"On the bed". He dragged his body to the bed and climbed in beside her. His body curled up, and he turned his back on her. Andrea's eyes moved from the phone to his body. She turned off the light,"Louis" "Yeah". He turned to look at her. "A doctor will check on you tomorrow morning".

God, where have you been all day? ‘They started off human as well,’ Jackson said, less happily. ‘Borg can be cured. So can those people out there,’ Andrew said emphatically. ‘Speaking of which, where exactly is “in here”?’ They’d broken into some kind of storage facility, filled with boxes. Sergeant Baker said it was safer to steer clear of homes, places of work, or wherever Sleepers might be; just in case. They were lying low, but also he was looking to get in contact with base camp as all the long range communication devices went up with the vehicles.

They had to make contact with Nino Suter. Noah closed the laptop and went upstairs. He rolled around for a while struggling to sleep and when he woke up the following morning he was surprised to see it was already 11 AM. He felt rested and the last few weeks he hadn’t really slept so he welcomed the rest he had gotten the previous night.

"Designed it myself. It's fully sustainable. Rainwater system. Solar panels. AI tech that doesn't secretly film you in the bathroom." "You designed this? Like, with your own hands and... blueprints?" Nico raised a brow. "Same thing I've done for the last eight years, sis. AI security systems, eco-tech, sustainable design. You... okay?" "Oh, totally. I remember. Brain's just... buffering. Had a weird dream about brain worms. You know how it is." "Brain worms," Nico repeated flatly. "They're real," she insisted. "I saw a documentary. Or a tweet. Could've been a meme. Either way, very alarming."

Wherever Maximino bought this bed from, he should ask them for a fucking refund! “May I come in? “ Maximino asked again after a while because, of course, alphas have very sensitive hearing, making them capable of hearing even the slightest noise, which was what Nexus did—it was more than the slightest noise, by the way, but whatever. It's still the same with the same result, which was him being found awake.
