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 sha

  • COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS    CHAPTER 91 : THE INK-STAINED SCALPEL

    The loud happy noise of the hospital parking lot did not just fade away; it turned into a ringing sound that made Maya’s teeth ache. One second she was laughing with Benson under the sun in Nigeria. The second the air felt thick and oily. The sun looked like a glowing eye painted onto a flat blue ceiling."Benson do not move " Maya whispered. Her heart was racing.She reached into her pocket. Felt the cold hard wood of the small boat. The tiny silver leaf inside was glowing brightly. Across from her Benson froze. His smile was still there. His eyes were changing. They were turning into silver mirrors."Maya? Why is the sky peeling off?" Benson’s voice was shaking.Maya looked up. A giant crack had appeared in the sky. It was a tear in a piece of paper. Behind the color there was a deep endless black hole. Giant drops of ink began to fall like rain."Run!" Maya grabbed Benson’s hand.They ran toward the surgical building. Every time Maya’s feet hit the ground it felt soft. The world wa

  • COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS    CHAPTER 90 : THE ANCHOR OF REALITY

    The boat in Mayas hand was burning. It was a weird feeling that went up her arm and into her chest. Outside the car window the busy streets of Lagos were getting all fuzzy. A yellow bus in the lane was blinking on and off like a light that was about to go out. For a second it turned into a gray picture before it went back to being a real bus."Benson stop the car! Stop it now!" Maya yelled.She reached out to grab the steering wheel. Benson was really scared his eyes were wide. His face was pale. He slammed on the brakes. The car stopped right in the middle of the road. Other drivers started honking their horns. Angry men were shouting in the air."Maya what is going on? We are in the middle of traffic!" Benson was breathing hard. He looked at her like he was worried about her. His hands were gripping the wheel tight that his knuckles were white."Look at this!" Maya held the boat right in front of his face. Her hand was shaking hard the boat was almost falling. "Where did this come f

  • COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS    CHAPTER 89 : THE BLEEDING MARGIN

    The fountain pen in Maya’s hand did not just feel heavy; it felt alive. It pulsed against her palm like a trapped heart, steady.Maya stared at it with horror.The black ink inside the barrel was swirling.It moved in circles even though she was holding her hand perfectly still.Outside the window the sunset over the city of Lagos was being swallowed by a wall of white fog.It was not weather or clouds.It was the edges of the world simply failing to exist. "Benson look at me!" Maya screamed.She jumped toward the sofa.Her feet did not hit the soft carpet.They hit a white surface that sounded like a hollow drum.The apartment was dissolving into nothing.The kitchen table, the eaten plate of rice and the fresh smell of laundry soap were all being sucked into a vacuum of silence.Benson sat still.He was no longer a man made of flesh and blood.He was a statue.His skin was carved into the shape of a smile.His eyes were two painted dots.He looked like a toy left behind in an attic

  • COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS    CHAPTER 88 : THE PAPER HEART

    Maya was holding Bensons hand in the hospital room. The silver ring on his finger was not melting it was a normal ring.. Then it started to bleed. Thick black ink was pouring over his fingers. It was dripping onto the white hospital bedsheets making a stain. Maya tried to pull her hand but the air in the room felt thick and heavy. It was like she was trying to move through honey. Her lungs were burning, like she was breathing in smoke.Maya screamed at Benson to drop the ring. Her voice sounded strange like paper tearing.. Benson did not move. His eyes were not his eyes anymore. They were like two silver mirrors. They were reflecting Mayas face back at her. Bensons arm started to shake and jump in movements. It looked like his bones were breaking.Benson said something. It was not his voice. It sounded like a lot of people whispering at the time. He said the wedding was the end of the chapter. Maya jumped backward her heel caught on the floor and she crashed into a metal tray. There w

  • COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS    CHAPTER 87 : THE FINAL STROKE

    The world was falling apart like a piece of paper that was being folded and creased. Mayas feet, which were once standing on the floor of the laboratory were now standing on a thin white piece of paper. The sweet smell of flowers was. It was replaced by the sharp smell of fresh black ink.Maya looked down at her hands. Let out a scream. Her skin was no longer brown and warm it was turning white like a page in a notebook. Black lines, like words and sentences were crawling up her wrists like snakes. "Sarah hold on to me " Maya said, reaching out. Her fingers were becoming flat and thin like paper.Sarah did not answer she was already gone. Where Sarah had stood there was a pile of shredded paper spinning in a digital wind. The Teacher had vanished too leaving behind a trail of paper scraps that spelled out the word ERROR. "You cannot do this " Maya yelled at the screen. "I am a person I have a heartbeat I have a soul."The girl on the screen the Maya in the void did not look like a med

  • COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS    CHAPTER 86 : THE WAKING PARADOX

    The walls of the laboratory were not just shaking they were melting into white smoke. Maya reached for the metal computer desk. Her hand went right through it. She felt a stinging feeling in her fingers like her body was being rubbed out by an invisible eraser. Across the room Sarah was screaming. Her body was flickering like a lightbulb that was about to burn out."Maya, my legs I cannot feel my legs " Sarah cried. She reached out her hand. Her arm turned into a cloud of glowing blue squares before snapping back into skin and bone.Maya tried to run toward her friend. The floor felt like it was made of water. Every step she took was heavy and slow.The child outside the window was glowing with a light bright it turned the Sahara sand into a giant mirror. He looked up at the tower. Pointed a small finger.The glass window disappeared it did not break into pieces it just vanished into the air. The hot desert wind rushed into the room. It did not smell like dust it smelled like flowers

    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

    Maya’s fingers scraped against the cold, rough edge of the roof. The black book—their only proof Julian was a good man—started sliding away. It hit a patch of ice and teetered, right at the edge of a five-story drop. One more slip, and the wind would tear those pages apart. All their hope, scattere

    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
