I MADE A CLONE OF YOU: Book 1: Parting

I have missed you for a period way longer than the time we actually spent together.People tend to believe that absence fades with time. It doesn't. Some absences settle so deeply within memory that they begin resembling another kind of presence altogether.The world kept moving. Technology kept evolving. Artificial intelligence stopped feeling extraordinary. Human holograms became another invention people learned to live alongside. And when cloning arrived at humanity's doorstep, it was welcomed not as a miracle, but as the next logical step.That is where this story begins.Astrid Oregon spends her days helping shape tomorrow while carrying someone yesterday never returned to her. One ordinary morning becomes another ordinary afternoon, until strangers begin knowing names they should not know, familiar places begin carrying unfamiliar echoes, and coincidence starts behaving with the confidence of intention.Told through intertwining voices, where observation and remembrance stand beside each other like two strangers staring across the same frozen river, Book One: Parting opens a psychological science-fiction series about identity, grief, artificial intelligence, human connection, and the fragile boundary between what is created and what is born.
