2024-10-29 19:42:56Dawn peeked through the forever broken roof of Imago and Mirror's home. The plants fully occupy the outside walls, and neighboring houses, making it seem like a creepy land forgotten by time. The cleanliness of their room contrasted greatly with the surrounding nature, where spots on the wall and floor showed where they slept and moved their items and furniture.
Today was Imago's maintenances day for the solar generator that they've been using for the majority of the still-working appliances. Though, it's not the activity Mirror intends to fulfill today, while watching Imago sit on the floor and tinker with the machine. Like all days that differed from each, Mirror adjusted their peripheral plans from the time forth to make way for other things they plan to fulfill.
The time is nothing either of them kept in the count, despite having the capability to easily gauge when and where they both are. Material is scarce and the access to any kind of programs or facilities of t

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. Though, compared to Mirror’s existence with a fitting leeway for their act

Chapter 23Being sat at the very back of a vehicle that looks uncomfortable from the outside but is conveniently padded with enough insulation and cushion inside made Bernice realize the extent of how rich the people she will be involved with once they reach C-city. In her situation, she who was pulled from the flock and into the wolf's den; could be considered unfortunate until it benefits her by chance. That may seem to be the case, but she knew there was more than meets the eye with the compensation she is promised.Every single survivor is given a chance to a new life, granted within the bounds company **** has to offer. None of the civilians questioned how they can do it, but by the seminar or talking to each person in the camp, they are convinced that they would have the choice to recover what they have only in the condition that they hold therapy sessions with several medical personnel regarding the A-city incident.There is so

No amount of embarrassment kids experience could be accounted for unless it’s concerning when people tease them about their love life. Historically, or by statistical quantity, there are more than a handful of children who would rather dismiss it by being disgusted and equal in the amount of those who would happily answer. There are those, of course, who truly think as seriously as when they collect trading cards that are rare in production.Between choosing which of Bernice was in that tier, she was a mix of dismissively disgusted to partially serious like a collector. She viewed asking this question as a benefit to her knowledge. On the scale of having faith in what she knew who her friends are, she would rather experience it to assess it herself, at least in accord to proof. What does she want to expect; regarding her acceptance to the confirmation that it came from her friends? Even if she didn’t wait for them to say it, they were honest enough to say it to he

Waterfall of straight narrative covered by the shallow representation of emotions but steeped in no more but painful truths within the story Bernice spilled was compelling to the records of the doctor who now held his clipboard, scribbling something now and then. Down on the table beside him stood a black rectangular device fit for a hand, a voice recorder, with its light blinking to indicate its activity.A blank expression stayed on the doctor’s face while Bernice spilled water numerous times on the same spot for about half an hour now since she started. There were a few embellishments included in her story, but they were only paused. According to how the doctor determined these mild silly turns, whenever she reverts to her main point, she simply goes about it so matter-of-factly that you can easily dismiss it as nothing.The doctor could easily tell that the only point this story can say is that there are humans from the incident that can, could, and have the capacity to become Pri

The whole conversation between the Citizen Guide and Trust lasted for fifteen minutes since Trust had to ask more questions than necessary. Imagine being handed a large packet of documents they’re required to fill in within the following days because the legal system does not rest for the traumatized and impossibly terrorized by almost fictional creatures.He can’t blame them since it’s not like they have money to cater to everyone, but this was better than being reminded that you’re on your own to deal with all the physical prerequisites in life. They did their best not to leave everyone alone with the eventual choices they can choose to move forward.When they chose to live in C-city as a base for the start of their new life, the staff willingly gave them a chance. Notwithstanding that obvious brainwashing and misdirection, they do while subtly inquiring about and managing the details of each person’s experience in A-city and the so-call

Betts continued to lick his eye and the area around it with a bit of angular difficulty, though she didn’t mind the strain it was giving her as she twisted her waist so she could remain on her threes while her one arm and face reached over his. Noticing this would be a folly for Trust, especially feeling her painful constraint but more so for the effort she was putting to soothe his desire. This fact alone becomes a detriment to his control coming together in a desire to quell her concern at least to a minimum.Pushing her twisting body back by extending his face forward for her to smother further with her tongue and lips, he made a pass of his girth-angry dick over her open gaping vagina. He filled her in one sweep of his hips, then gathered all his mental chains into one side and let his animalistic side win as he rammed her hard.Shaking her whole body, almost letting her head hit on the armrest she clung to, her moan came out as a shout as her body shuddered

Chapter 24 Blocks away from where Betts and Trust’s apartment stood is a small-sized central mall, fit for simple boutiques of local stature. A few blocks, which is more rides, away from the mall is the nearest supermarket for their community. The hour they spent lunch and before were dedicated to reading the thick stack of Citizen Guide documents given for review. Deliberating which requirement process should be done first and all the options presented. They may have been given a brief by the staff from **** company, that helped the survivor’s, but their words passed one ear from the other when exhaustion due to relief started to set. Their time was given consideration but at the end of it all, they are the ones to set their course with the right tools presented. That’s how at this moment the couple felt when they sat inside a family diner, at the very corner seat, eating after lunch meal. Chomping on burgers was a delight Betts managed to stifle after much deliberation whether it w

“About the time I see you, Betts,” said Lena, her voice a bit hoarse with an evident lack of sharpness. Her demeanor showed she was simply calm, and somewhat sedated, according to Trust’s instinct. “Come on, let me get you a lecturing for leaving me here without even letting someone care for me full time, these nurses don’t know how to care for this old woman.” She was sitting up leaning back at the inclined part of the bed with a layer of pillows under her back.The two approached her, Betts leaning in for a hug and Trust afterward. Betts set the items in the cupboard, the one above the table located near the foot of the bed. On top of the table were a few boxes of toiletries, one unused and the other opened for use. Trust looked at the medical chart at the foot of the bed. He listened, shifting to Lena as she spoke about the hospital’s subpar good to bad nurses and services. Adding to the food complaint was the lack of entertainment one where the tablet was difficult to use even if

Small-stature wobbled from their place in shock and confusion. They could hear voices, words they thought would not be possible to understand even if they have a sprinkle of memories of being able to say such things, such words. Vocabulary had almost slipped their still able memory of what they seem to perceive as their selves before this blind-like body.Their comrade underlings did not comprehend the creature in front of Small-stature, making them react in a scared way, almost darting to scurry in escape. Managing to hail them back into the premise of Small-stature’s vicinity was easy, what with One-arm herding them back to where they are.“My, forgive me. It seems like you are a newborn to this body.” Soft-spoken, as Small-stature calls them, listened to them say. “Let me soothe your worries, we are not here to relish harm upon our fellow. Rather, guide them.”Hearing and understanding what Soft-spoken said took about a few seconds of Small-stature’s comprehension, but their underl

Two presences from the premise disappeared when the small-statured creature sensed the sensation of an optimal sound and light came from underneath the ground. There was a pause as they waited for the arrival of this, oh so, comforting resonance.Anticipation. Tension. Pause.There was a definite halt in their senses when another sensation overpowered their most awaited event, that was just been triggered moments ago. Because of this, they knew that there was something wrong. Something that would bring them great demise and abandonment, even if they know they could survive without this “thing.”Grasping this “thing” was an answered prayer they knew would be something that could help develop their comrades and these sweet-scented underlings of theirs. Telling them that they would grow and develop into better creatures that could well benefit each other. Without words, just sounds and resonance, deeds.Still, they could not help but waver in tenacity when they felt the loss of this “thi

Waking up in another body is hellish beyond comparison. Imagine opening your eyes to blindness you didn't know existed, with the light coming from nowhere and everywhere. You don't see with your eyes, but you feel the world ten times stronger with nothing but your body who is sensitive to every kind of noise. Magic would have been more believable than realizing that your blindness is not caused by pain of any internal kind, but by your eyes absorbed inside your skull, sunken deep. Protected by a layer of skin thin but tough, while a substance within shakes and serves to stay it in place. Something moved within their skull, surreal but they could feel it moving with every shake and stir as if a jar of pickles with one pickle inside swimming in its vat of juice. Why am I comparing pickle to my situation? Calming themselves was easy, they “breathed” slow and steady, through a nose they could not feel or sense its presence on their face, but they know its there. Wildly adjusting their t

Chapter 37Skies don’t rain beans or bacon, but Horaz, who’s gotten himself used to the way the Primer identity roams his mind, sees that this Primer sure knows how to mix the setting they stand in by displaying all food he’s been craving for. Nothing beats being human and wanting nothing but to satiate your day with all the good comfort food that lives in your head, at least the ones you’ve tasted before.He has been yearning to eat more than raw meat, which his tongue and throat burned from the bitter taste, not sweet or delectable, but bitter and tangy at the same time. The youth of sixteen years has not tasted flesh the same way it’s described with a raw steak, though he prefers well done, he probably would have had the chance to taste raw steak in the time his family would celebrate special occasions.But he prefers well-done steak, baked beans, and the occasional tacos on the weekends.

“Stand… down,” Akyl said slowly to the escorts. Her eyes watched the one arm that clung to the tail.She could tell that the tail, or the identity that controlled it, is strong today. There must be a correlation between their method of physical examination and their tail’s response to their body. Rather, she could sense that Horaz is just realizing that there was more to the process happening in his Primer body and just noticing it now.The other escorts, with guns that bore metal ammunition, followed through but the tranquilizer bearer did not ease his aim. The escort shook his head in rejection of her request and Akyl had to acknowledge this.Purce stood still, feeling her tension, more from fear, stiffen her body. The only part that could move was her eyes and she watched in anticipation if the doctor would do something first, or the Primer’s tail.Because, by now, she could see that the Primer is not just fighting the tail but struggling to keep its hold.

The confines of Horaz’s room remained cold with the sprinkle of “nature’s touch,” meaning the occasional soil and other debris that could serve as “entertainment options.” Noticing the Primer consciousness be a creature of boredom was one the laboratory did not expect, and so did Horaz.Discovering this was not hard to conclude when the Primer tends to play and hunt the staff and escort that enters its domain whenever they feed or try to clean his “room.” At most, if they didn’t leave any kind of living creature to distract the Primer during its stay in the laboratory, the likeliness of it trying to destroy their place seemed likelier.Reina remembered the kind of creature the first Primer was, despite staying for only a few days in their presence. This alpha Primer did things in calculated actions as if, the creature itself wanted things to go their way so it could pretend to give them what they want.She concluded this according to how the staff then felt its actions were much devis

Purce had to double take, knowing that the answer used, one thump of any body part meant “no.” Hastily, she signaled to Elbi that Horaz – the human consciousness, did not agree to the next procedure.Because of this, Moss suddenly wondered why the electrical current request they were aiming to control, and monitor stopped. She saw from her peripheral that Dr. Akyl left her post, the other touchscreen panel, and approached Elbi and Purce.Elbi was adjusting the program, already on its way to booting up enough electrical charges in the ideal percent, but an abrupt stop in this charging requires a reset for the application and machine. Because if it did not stop and proceed to use for its intended purpose, it would go haywire or overflow.The very machine of the gurney can only hold enough electrical charge, the extra energy that flows through the needles are nodes that cannot let one charge in it stay still.
