The black van groaned so loud it sounded like some giant was crushing it with bare hands. The metal floor buckled under Maya, bending up. The stink of gas vanished. All at once, she could smell grass and wet earth, like she’d just stepped outside after rain. The silver seed in her palm pressed hard against her skin—hungry, alive, not just growing but starving for the world.

“Stop the van! Get her out now!” a man yelled from the front.

The back doors blew open. A soldier lunged in for Maya, but

    The light in Sarahs eyes was not like a lamp it was like a fire. Sarah stood still her hands were at her sides. Her body felt like a warm metal statue. Behind her hundreds of people turned at the time they moved like a big machine. A little boy dropped his teddy bear his eyes were also burning with light."Sarah stop this it is not funny " Maya said. She tried to touch Sarahs shoulder. Her hand stopped. The air around Sarah was. Making a humming sound. It felt like touching a wire.The crowd said, "The characters have reached the mountain. The first ending was successful now we begin the revision.""Run " Julian said, he grabbed Mayas waist. Pulled her back. Sarahs hand snapped forward her fingers were stiff like iron bars. She swiped the air where Mayas head had been."They are being controlled " Maya screamed. She scrambled backward her boots slipped on leaves. Her heart was hitting her ribs hard she felt like a trapped bird. Maya was a doctor she knew how bodies worked these people

    The purple light did not hurt Maya. It did not freeze her either. It felt like a billion tiny hands were pulling her apart. Julian stood in the middle of the road with his arms open. The massive beam from the Eye hit him. His skin started to flicker like a broken lamp. One moment his hand was solid and the next moment it was a cloud of dots."Maya! I'm here!" Julian screamed,. His voice had no sound. It was a vibration in the air.The world of the forest and the road suddenly disappeared. Julian was floating in a space that looked like the inside of a giant glass ball. The walls were made of millions of screens each showing a different persons life. He saw a man eating breakfast in a city that did not exist. He saw a girl playing with a dog made of computer code."Julian why did you come here?" a voice asked. It was Mayas voice. It sounded like it was coming from every direction at the same time.Julian turned around. In the center of the glass room a figure was struggling. It was May

    The purple beam hit the hospital buildings three miles away. It was so quiet after that. The silence was even scarier than an explosion. There was no fire. There was no smoke. There was a huge empty hole where a twenty-story building used to be. The concrete and the glass just stopped existing."Move now" Julian screamed.He did not wait for Sarah to answer. He grabbed her arm. Pulled her toward the exit on the roof. The black bird on his shoulder turned red. The silver disc in his hand was shaking hard it felt like it would break his bones."The mountains are sixty miles to the north" Sarah panted. Her boots slipped on the gravel floor. "We cannot walk far before the Harvest reaches us""We are not walking" Julian said.He pointed to the landing pad at the edge of the roof. Three white transport flyers were sitting there. They looked like sharks without wings. One of the soldiers in armor was trying to climb into the first flyer. His hands were shaking as he tried to open the door.J

    The rooftop of the Story Farm felt like the edge of a world that was dying. The wind was blowing hard against Julians face it was orange. It stung his eyes with dust and ash. Above him this huge silver ship was making a noise it sounded like an animal made of metal that was hurt. The black bird on Julians shoulder was made of light it was flickering and it dug its digital claws into his jacket.Julian whispered "Maya?" His voice was shaking he was really scared.The ships engines suddenly flared with power a wave of light hit the roof it was so strong that it almost threw Julian and Sarah off their feet. In the sky thousands of robots just stopped moving their red eyes turned into a bright white.Sarah pointed at the sky her hand was trembling she said "Julian look!"The silver ship was changing its metal body was. Shifting it was being controlled by a mind that was faster than any human. A giant face began to form on the side of the ship it was made of clouds and steel and it was May

    The room was shaking hard. Dust from the glass was falling from the ceiling like cold snow. Maya felt the poison from the needle moving through her chest. It was not just hurting her body it was also hurting her mind. Every seconds a memory of her life would appear and then disappear.She saw her fathers face then it turned into lines. She saw the books she had studied so hard but the words were melting into nonsense."Julian... My head..." Maya gasped. Her hand grabbed his shirt. Her fingers were weak. She was struggling to stay awake."I have you, Maya. Sarah do it now " Julian yelled.His voice sounded away like he was shouting from the bottom of a deep hole. He looked down at Mayas face. Her beautiful skin was turning a ashy gray. Her eyes, which were usually so sharp and full of life were losing their focus.Sarahs fingers moved fast across the screen of her tool. Her face was covered in sweat. "The computer brain is too hot. If I start the transfer I cannot stop it. Julian once

  • COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS    CHAPTER 69 : THE MASTER OVERRIDE

    The heavy brass key felt icy in Maya’s sweaty hand. In the dim, red glow of the Story Farm, the tag that read "Master Override" burned like a tiny fire. Ahead of her, the Writer—the man she once called a friend—kept his electric gun aimed straight at her heart. His finger looked ready to pull the trigger."Drop it, Maya," the Writer said. His voice had changed; it was sharp and cold, like a prison guard. "That key isn’t for a character. It belongs to the people who built this world.""I am not a character!" Maya yelled. Her voice echoed off the walls and the thousands of glass pods in the dark hall. "I am a real woman! I have a life in Nigeria! I have a fiancé! I have my medical exams!"The Writer narrowed his eyes. "You remember those things, Maya. We gave you those memories so your writing would sound real. Nigeria is just a desert. The medical school was a computer game. You’ve been inside that glass pod since you were six."His words hit her like a punch to the stomach. Her knees

    Coach Miller’s boots crunched on the ice—slow, steady, creepy. Crunch. Crunch. He gripped the sledgehammer tight, and honestly, he didn’t look like a teacher anymore. He looked like a hunter, zeroed in on his prey.“Move, Maya,” he said, aiming the hammer at her. “You’ve done enough tonight. Hand o

    The newsroom felt dead. Just the air conditioner humming, and somewhere far off, a police siren. Maya’s mom stood smack in the middle, holding that tiny slip of paper like it was a weapon. To anyone else, it was just a hospital bill. For Julian, it was his little brother’s life hanging in the balan

    The red “On Air” sign glared at Maya—a hot, watchful eye. Across the newsroom, TV screens lined the wall. On one, she spotted her father, stuck in that dark computer room. Some thug pressed a metal weapon to the back of his head.“Ten seconds, Maya,” her uncle’s voice blared over the speakers. “Nin
