Chills ran down her spine as almost all able-bodied adults brusquely handled the fretting bodies intent on attacking the healthy ones. Her eyes misted with unshed tears as she tried her best not to break into pieces for the sorrow she felt for these afflicted ones.
Spurs of haze clouded Betts’s vision as she opened her eyes from her long nap. She was left in the library again for the nth time by her group of friends, the ones she made after entering grade nine. They did leave a note in front of her, on top of her bag, saying that the study period is ongoing, but they figured staying in this place was boring. So, they left.
Lifting her head while traces of sleep still lingered on her lips and open notebook, silence flooded her senses as she saw the library’s bright florescent light fill her newly opened eyes. Stretching, fixing her things, then softly propping her elbow on the table and chin on her hand. Betts pondered at the days

Suitable Bags of Flesh Side Story; The Bitter Mould
Crumbling roofs were all anyone would see if they stayed in the ruined residential area of F-city. A year has passed since Mirror and Imago lived together in their roofless two-floor home. They are the life of the party, at least for most of their robot community. Mirror is an exceptionally versatile program enhancer, both in readjusting programs to reroute them and make their flow smoother or new ones such as inputting emotional responses.Life was satisfying to the machines left to die by humans years ago. That doesn’t mean there are things the humans left that retained or the organically comprehensive androids are curious enough to research about them. It includes tradition left unexplained and culture once nurtured but replaced by modern innovations. Thus as anyone would, none would miss something forgotten or be never there in the first place.That is why recorded history in F-city is valued and, at the same time, tampered with extensively. Neither androids

Chapter 14Crunch. Crunch sounds the munching. Slopping dark red blood spray across the night sky into the pavement, making pollock spots onto blank dirty grey canvases. Gross sounds of moans overpowered the groans of pain. Though dark the night is, every sound and the possible makeshift light source becomes eerier and livid with the ethereal sound of pain born from pleasure.Many across the city are deep in either sexual incite or validating dominance and hierarchy through extreme exploits of brutality. Undulating physical activities were not lacking the night of the second incident. Citizens showing symptoms of high fever grew until no one could confirm if they were sick or delusional enough to sink into a coma.Outside of their marginal expectation, based on the first unrecorded A-city “Dimension Pocket” incident, this second incident and its intended area of effect measured to the border of the city. Proven only throug

“Is the tonic we made gone? That fast?” Said Akyl, raising her head. Speedy enough to make her feel dizzy.“Yes, and no, he needs a different medication. Shivers have now turned to seizures, but only to select parts of his body.”Looking at Dr. Munar, Akyls brows quirked, then frowned. “Eye movement?”“Steady. Not even normal to have it steady and clouded.” He then whispered. “This is beyond my pay grade, mental and emotional.”Standing to look at the items from front to the counter, “all of the items are cosmetic by nature. Wrinkle removers? Sleep inducer? Potency...what?” Akyl turned her head. “The next best we can do is open the boxes in the storage and see if any of the items there could help with Beers.”Attempting to estimate the likeliness of anything beyond impractical organic substances proved lengthy. It was better to assume that there’s a chance of

How can they not focus on human life survival more than the equipment? They have time in the future if they’ve settled their chances of survival because right now is nothing more than a challenge to be won.“Captain! Primer disengaged. We managed to kill some, but there were escapees. The chances they come back is likely, sir.” Said one of the four outside. His orange-tipped hair peeked under the helmet he wore.“Good job, Tark.” Captain Fairmont then looked at the medics with the two infected. “Libi, Pyko. How are the infected?”Libi, a stocky female merc, was gagging one soldier while Pyko, a lean medic, checked the one she successfully tied down.Pyko looked up. His brows sweat-laden. “Still no signs of recovering. Keli has calmed down, and Libi is still busy with Jench. Out med-shots won’t last for three more hours, sir.”“Libi, get that ass moving.” Captain doubled onto Li

“Copy. Our team will go ahead to second.” Captain replied and continued to inform them of other necessary plan markers.Since they had twenty minutes, part of the radio-in is an update from Abin. Something to occupy their time of preparation on their side and a short break for Cristian’s.As opposed to the plan Cristian thought, the team intended for their group to split. Having their location near but distanced enough to act as a decoy.According to Abin, they are in a place suitably without danger after passing through one area where the Primers were hounding a different group of humans. They witnessed it the same way Cristian’s party did, but they could not stay to help. The same as them, they had prioritized themselves.Their moment of rest brought Cristian a pain to focus, more specifically to maintain their two patients in sedation. Slowly they showed signs moving around their tight bind.“Pyko, are there any sed

Cristian still held his phone, but his arms raised chest level with the phone facing down. Sore muscles spasmed from his shoulder down to his elbow, making his hands shake. Everything had stoppered in his body as he realized that now security was guaranteed, bringing fatigue into his body like a vengeance.“S...Sir. Pri—Primer inside, Jench—ch and Keli are...are still...” He tried talking but stopped only to look behind.Captain Fairmont patted his shoulder, whispering he did well as he entered the room to observe the scene. Dismissing the Captain, Cristian looked at the massive grave in front of him. He held his camera as he shot the river blood around his comrades that sat in front of him, tending to the two.He released a breath, a heavy sigh of relief at the death in front of him. He didn’t know that he could feel this kind of relief in seeing death more prominent than in video games or movies.As Cristian moved awa
