The Laptop

By Dan Cooper Roberts

Marcus never expected his life to change inside the dusty aisles of a failing pawn shop. But when a desperate stranger trades in a battered laptop, Marcus uncovers a secret that defies reality: the machine shows the Millbrook Gazette exactly seven days before it's printed.

What begins as curiosity becomes obsession. What begins as opportunity becomes addiction.

As Marcus uses the laptop to climb from poverty to unimaginable wealth, he finds himself trapped in a world where every choice is haunted by the headlines he can't unsee. Friends drift away. Trust evaporates. And the future-once a promise-becomes a threat.

The Laptop is a tense, atmospheric descent into paranoia and power.
