Unveiling Worlds Mid-Sentence
This collection offers a unique journey into the heart of storytelling. Each piece is an incomplete narrative fragment, a moment captured mid-scene, or a page torn from a larger book. They invite your imagination to fill in the gaps, pondering what came before and envisioning what might happen next.
This project stands as an experiment at the intersection of human creativity and artificial intelligence. It explores how digital tools can act as a partner in the writing process, shaping new forms of storytelling and enhancing digital literacy in a collaborative environment.
This collection spans genres from gripping Thriller and Political Thriller to Supernatural Mystery and Environmental Fiction. Within these pages, you will encounter the distinct voices of Jamie F. Bell and Eva Suluk.
We invite you to explore these unfinished tales not just as a reader, but as a co-creator, completing the narrative in your own mind and shaping its ultimate direction.
Today’s Unfinished Tales and Short Stories
Exploring the nuanced realms of Thriller, Political Thriller, Contemporary, and Supernatural Mystery, alongside unique categories like Stream of Consciousness and Dark Comedy, this project redefines digital literacy. We leverage creative technology to craft compelling short stories, driving the future of publishing through AI-assisted narrative and innovative literary exploration.
Gravity and the Rogers Pass

The world had shrunk to the narrow tunnel carved out by the headlights. Beyond it, there was only an impenetrable, absolute blackness where mountains were supposed to be. The road snaked onwards, a ribbon of pale grey asphalt that appeared seconds before they were on it. The engine whined, a high, strained sound as it fought against the steep grade, and the only other sound was the howl of wind rushing past the wing mirrors.

About the Project
By design, these stories have no beginning and no end. Many stories are fictional, but many others are not. They are snapshots from worlds that never fully exist, inviting you to imagine what comes before and what happens next. We had fun exploring this project, and hope you will too.
The Unfinished Tales and Short Stories collection is an experimental, creative research project by The Arts Incubator Winnipeg and the Art Borups Corners Storytelling clubs. Each chapter is a unique interdisciplinary arts and narrative storytelling experiment, born from a collaboration between artists and applied AI researchers, designed to explore the boundaries of creative writing, automation, and storytelling. The project was made possible with funding and support from the Ontario Arts Council Multi and Inter-Arts Projects program and the Government of Ontario.
