@BogartWoodsdale It's a quote from a book I am writing.

"The same uninterested voice the boy had at fifteen in the garage, showing a friend how the locks worked." - A father discovers his sanctuary has become a trap. #SciFi #DystopianFiction #ExpectedBehaviour

"His grandson had begun asking questions about a location erased from every map The Continuity maintained. The response was routine: serene procedural violence dressed as order."

What if the infrastructure keeping civilization alive was already failing, and the people in charge knew it would happen months before anyone else did?

Hit a major milestone: Expected Behaviour is now in final editorial review. The manuscript has grown darker, and more unsettling than ever. On track for release later this year. Thank you to everyone following this journey.

What if an AI could read a room through concrete walls? Measure heartbeats through stone. Map a space down to the cubic metre before ever stepping inside. In "Expected Behaviour," perception becomes a weapon.

In "Expected Behaviour," a city burns while someone watches from the thirtieth floor. The fire spreads east to west, following the wind. From up there, the destruction looks distant, almost beautiful. Until it doesn't.

"Nobody mentioned his mother. Margaret Reid, ninety-nine years old, seventy-nine years in Cultural Preservation, reduced to a status change and a scheduling adjustment." - Victor Reid

In "Expected Behaviour," there's a steel door buried deep underground. Machined to precision. Built to outlast civilization itself. And someone left a message on it in the dark: WE REMEMBER. What were they trying to preserve?

What if the people running your entire civilization were erased from every official record? Not dead. Erased. Like they never existed in the first place.

That's the moment everything changes in Expected Behaviour.

In "Expected Behaviour," civilization has collapsed into scattered havens and sprawling wastelands. People die in drainage ditches. The sky hums with stations watching from orbit. And two worlds collide in ways no one predicted.

"You navigate Thresher patrol routes across sixty miles of unmapped terrain by memory and instinct. And this is a nightmare." - Victor

Deep in the final editing phase of Expected Behaviour. These chapters are where everything converges: the archive, the bunker, the unspeakable choices people make when systems fail. The work is meticulous and necessary.

Two weeks without power. Things get grim fast

What would you do if the people supposedly in charge weren't actually in charge at all? If the names at the top of every chain of command were strangers, erased from history itself?

Writing a character staring at evidence he can't unsee. The hardest part wasn't depicting the horror, but capturing how someone processes a truth that rewires everything. Sometimes the most devastating moments are the quietest ones.

"Guide 31 said nothing about what to do when the threat was sucking a dummy."

- Craig, Expected Behaviour

Writing this book meant wrestling with a question: how to show a fundamentally broken world without letting despair flatten your prose? I found the answer in small details. A lock that doesn't need power. Paint that says "WE REMEMBER."

"Guide 31 said eliminate threats to your extraction route. Guide 31 said nothing about what to do when the threat was sucking a dummy."  -  Craig, Expected Behaviour
