The wind on the mountaintop just stopped. Not a breeze, not a whisper—gone. The silence pressed in so hard Julian’s ears rang. Down at the bottom of those weird, bright stairs stood the man who looked like Maya’s father. He wasn’t breathing. Didn’t blink. Just stared at Maya, those green eyes glowing like radio dials in the dark.

“Maya, don’t go near him,” Julian said, stepping in front of her. He gripped his gun so tight his knuckles went pale. Cold rolled off the people who’d come down from t

  • COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS    CHAPTER 81 : THE GLITCH IN THE BLOODLINE

    The sun was too bright. It felt like a giant stage light shining into Mayas eyes. Her mom stood in the yard smiling a happy smile.. Something felt off. Maya looked down at the ground. Her moms shadow was stretching out toward the kitchen table. In the shadow world her moms hand was reaching for a knife.. In the real world her moms hands were empty."Mom move now!" Maya screamed.Maya lunged forward. She grabbed her mom around the waist. Pulled her away from the table. They both fell onto the dry dirt."Maya what are you doing?" her mom cried out. She looked shocked and hurt. "You are acting crazy! Why did you tackle me?"Maya didn't answer. She kept her eyes fixed on the ground. The shadow-knife slashed through the air where her moms throat had been a second ago. The dark blade cut into the shadow of a post.CRACK.In the world the thick wooden post suddenly split in half. Wood chips flew into the air like arrows. One hit Mayas cheek drawing a line of blood."It's not real but its kil

  • COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS    CHAPTER 80 : THE VILLAGE OF SHADOWS

    The floor of the laboratory started moving. The alarms changed their sound. The loud scream of the sirens turned into a thumping noise. It felt like a heart beating under the floor. Maya gripped the edge of a metal desk tightly. Her fingers were white with fear. On the wall screen a map of Nigeria was glowing. A red light was flashing on her home village, Oruk Anam."Maya, the satellite in space is moving!" Sarah yelled. Her voice was almost lost in the noise of the crowd waking up. "It is not aiming at the desert anymore. It is following a signal from your home village!" Maya felt a surge of fear."It is a trap " Maya whispered. She felt the hum of the building inside her chest. Every time the lights flickered her heart skipped a beat. She was the power source for this building. Her energy was running out. "Julian! Can you see who is sending that signal?" she asked.The speakers made a cracking sound. Julians voice was broken by static. "The code... It is very old Maya. It is not a c

  • COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS    CHAPTER 79 : THE OXYGEN GHOST

    The air in the laboratory became very heavy. It was not the kind of heat you feel from the sun. It was the feeling of a machine that was stopping. Maya looked at the computer screen near the door. The numbers were dropping fast.* 100%.* 95%.* 90%.That was the amount of oxygen in the warehouses. Thousands of people were sleeping in those glass boxes. If the oxygen reached zero they would all die."Benson stop this now!" Maya screamed at the security camera. Her voice was rough. Her throat felt like it was on fire because of the gold liquid she had swallowed earlier."Those are people! They are not just files in your computer!"On the screen Benson looked at his gold watch. He looked very calm. He looked like a man waiting for a bus, not a man killing thousands."They are witnesses Maya. If they wake up and tell the world what we did our family name is finished. I am protecting our future.""Our future?" Maya hit the glass of the door with her fist. Thud. A sharp pain went up her ar

    The white room was not empty. It was making a humming noise like a lot of fans running at the same time. Maya felt the floor shaking under her feet. She stood still her hands were clenched into fists. Across from her the man in the suit was fixing his silk tie. This "Real" Julian had no scars on his face. His skin was smooth. His hair was cut perfectly. His eyes did not look tired like a man who had been running for twenty years."You look confused " the Real Julian said. His voice sounded like Julians voice.. He sounded very proud of himself. "I think seeing your face without any pain is a big shock for you.""You are the Writer?" Julians voice was low and angry. He took a step forward. His body was ready to fight. "You are the one who trapped Maya in that loop? You are the one who let me rot in a tank for years?"The Real Julian laughed. The sound was very cold. It made the white room feel like a freezer. "Trapped her? Julian I saved her. Her fathers company was dying. Everything wa

  • COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS    CHAPTER 77 : THE GHOST IN THE SATELLITE

    The desert air exploded. A loud gunshot sound cut through the wind. Sand flew up near Julians head. He did not even blink. He just kept staring at the computer tablet in Sarahs hands."The link! Sarah did it catch her?" Julian yelled. He was still on his knees. His leg hurt from the dart that hit him earlier.The Vice President stood over him. The mans face was twisted with anger. He pulled the trigger of his gun again.The gun did not fire. It just clicked. The fine desert sand had gotten into the gun. The man cursed loudly. Shook the gun."Kill him!" the Vice President screamed to the guards. "Kill the mistake. I will handle the girl myself!"Sarah just hissed, "Not today, Benson."She did not look up from her screen. Her fingers moved fast typing commands into the computer. Mayas body lay still on the sand. The cable was still connected to the port behind her ear.Then a big wave of light shot out from the satellite dish. It hit the guards and the Vice President. The mans gun flew

  • COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS    CHAPTER 76 : THE ARCHITECT’S HAND

    The air inside the warehouse was cold. It did not smell like a hospital. It smelled like sand and old electricity. Maya stood on her shaking legs. The wires on her arms pulled at her skin. She looked at the man in the suit. He was smiling,. His eyes were like two pieces of cold glass.Maya saw the man in the suit. She felt scared. "Project 04?" Mayas voice was a whisper. "That is not my name."The man said "In the world names are just labels for the bank." He tapped his computer tablet. A glowing screen appeared in the air between them.Maya saw a video. It was a version of Maya. She was sitting in a chair in a dark office. She looked tired and cold. In the video Maya picked up a pen. Signed a paper. The name on the paper was Maya Benson. Below it her job title said: Chief Architect of Neural Entertainment.The man said "You created the Story Farm to save this company, Maya. The people in those glass boxes? They are volunteers. They get paid in the world while their brains make storie

    The medical tent stank of bleach and old blankets. Maya sat stiff on a narrow metal bed, her hands locked on the sheets. Outside, everything felt like it was falling apart—the low rumble of the mountains had turned into a bone-deep roar. But inside, the quiet felt worse. It was that heavy, loaded s

    The glass shattered. Sharp pieces exploded everywhere.Maya hit the floor fast, covering her head with both hands. She didn’t freeze up—she moved almost too quickly to see, like her body just knew what to do. Cold mountain air flooded the cabin, sharp with the smell of pine and metal."Maya! Get do

    The leader of the men in black stepped forward, his glass mask shining weirdly under the hospital lobby lights. He looked more like a monster from some nightmare movie than a real person. He didn’t bother glancing at the police or the nurses cowering behind the desks. All his attention locked onto

    The wind shrieked across the lake, stinging Maya’s face like a thousand icy needles. The ice under her skates didn’t feel solid anymore. Usually, it felt quiet and steady—something she could trust. Not tonight. Now, the frozen lake buzzed beneath her, a deep vibration coming straight from the "Zero
