Chapter 22
A moment of silence filled Betts as she squatted a meter away from the slumped body of the affected citizen, a body with no sign of injury but shows distress to a degree one can only feel upon observation the further they look at the body. Eyes bloodshot and dry to a degree so fearful that you can only look at them in horror. Their mouths were dirtied by the saliva they foamed out and dust getting caught on the edges like a spoiled cup of milk.
Feeling their level of desperate yearning for the connection they wanted after supposedly being affected by the incident, they continue to subjugate themselves in completely depreciating thoughts of despair that Betts felt is the reason why some of them fall into a coma. The heavy toll it takes on their will to resist that it becomes a crutch to the point of madness. Add to this is the horrific modification on one’s body during the process that it’s enough to scare their every b

Witnessing people making love was not the first awkward moment Bernice has taken in through her adolescence and teen years. There was more of that due to her sibling’s activities with whoever current partner they have. She’s used to it to the point she can easily dismiss them. It’s different though if it’s two people she knew, one for only a moment and the other since years ago, in a mindset driven by the death of both her friends.This wasn’t the time to see much but it didn’t disgust nor fascinate her, just the utter awkward feeling of being there. Though, soon, it subsides when she looked at her hands that quickly quivered without incite. She heard the soldier who was assigned to care for her and went back to his side.“Hey, avoid going anywhere. We don’t know if those monsters would rise again like the god-awful zombies.” He said as he escorted her to one of the jeeps. “You’ve gone through enough, so it’s okay to rest with the others.”Following him without question felt like she

“Your side of experience seems like you’ve had a fun time getting to know the affected ones,” Cristian said as he sat up. “The two people affected by the incident on our end felt like they were sought after by the Primers.”“That’s the same thing with us,” Akyl stated. “Perhaps it’s a kind of desirable change in their bodies but the affected ones tended to call out for the Primers of any kind. None would approach unless it’s been hinted or given to them by the others, did you also notice that?”“Not really,” Cristian replied honestly. “At some point, my mind blanked when we got to the area we got hounded by the Primers. Though I did notice that there were specific ones that hunted us down if we had an affected, but they didn’t approach us, only lead one specific Primer.”“They acted like minions or servants of those Primers,” Akyl said, a conviction

Approximately three hours of more sleep was wasted while the Marsdtadts stayed in their room on the first floor of the Penthouse. Both Izobra and Zerkalo spent the time after waking from their long sleep with simple green tea, eggs, and ham, plus a dose of cherry jam on their toast. Pleased with the sleep they missed the previous day, they sent messages to their staff back at the office to continue their rounds on the families they needed to entertain for their “Raise for Reading” campaign. Part of the charity work Izobra organized along with several institutions in G-city that wanted to grant C-cities lack of access for their lower class.“Dear, don’t you think we should be going back home?” Zerkalo asked his wife that sat stock still as he watched her cut his toast into bite-size pieces. “I’m sure they can handle themselves with the information we left them with. Plus, they don’t need to know anything anymore. Ah, please salt my sunny a bit more.”Izobra salted her husband’s sunny s

Opening the metal doors in sector H level ten to let the maintenance team enter for the annual is the least appealing job Mirror was given by the current “one rule.” Surrounded by fumes and warmth amidst high-end air conditioning, every unit that towered Mirror exuded boring lights as it processed different kinds of programs and applications that monitored the entirety of the city. Just this whole floor that consisted of side-by-side black blocks of artificial intelligence computing every step necessary to the future of F-city, is a cesspool of non-living slaves.There was never a doubt Mirror considered every entity within these black blocks as individuals fit within their limits of robotic calculations for the actions they considered as important, but the human’s built this system to rely upon, like them as androids that should serve or must if permitted.
