The 100,000-Dollar Bill

In the Great Depression, an improbable band of outcasts plans an audacious heist at the Federal Reserve to steal a secret 100,000-dollar bill, a currency hidden for the elite. However, this is no ordinary robbery; as its existence leaks, it detonates a devastating crisis of confidence that pushes the United States to the brink of collapse, forcing radical changes and empowering a new FBI. "The 100,000-Dollar Bill" is a crime and suspense epic that expands into alternate history, demonstrating how this solitary act forever rewrites the nation's destiny.

At least they never created the a one trillion-dollar bill.

"Thank you for reading!

I'm thrilled to present 'The $100,000 Bill,' a story that wouldn't have been possible without the invaluable public feedback from key individuals. I'd particularly like to thank Miletus12, whose incisive critique of my methods lodged itself in my mind as a narrative stress test; and Max Sinister, whose curiosity about prompts pushed me to explore new limits. Their interactions, in part, motivated me to put my 'Architect's System' to its ultimate trial.

Here, the challenge wasn't just to develop a story from scratch with my methodology, but also to truly challenge a genre as explored as the heist story, asking myself what genuinely new and disruptive approaches I could propose.

While 'My Girlfriend, The War' was my testing ground for perfecting this method, and 'The Time Mage' was an adaptation of a 2021 script, 'The $100,000 Bill' is my first completely original work conceived and developed from the ground up using the full philosophy of my system, created in just one week.

I sincerely hope you enjoy this epic of crime, suspense, and alternate history. I'll be releasing the story sporadically, and I appreciate any feedback in advance."

That's a wrap on Book 1! The "$100,000-dollar Bill" series will be taking a 1-2 week break before we dive into the next chapter. Thanks for reading!

I'm repurposing this thread to gather my smaller works, loose narrative fragments, and general announcements. This will be the space for stories that aren’t directly part of my main narrative lines (My Girlfriend, the War, The Time Mage, and any future works with a similar emotional or structural core), but rather smaller, satellite, or experimental pieces. Included here are titles like The $100,000 Bill and The Chronicle of Fragmented Worlds. I'll also use this space to share updates on new projects, internal crossovers, or simply to experiment without burdening the larger system. I hope you enjoy this new phase of the project. Thank you for reading!
