COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS CHAPTER 106 : THE STEEL HORIZON
The glass did not just break; it exploded inward. A huge metal foot from the machine outside slammed against the wall. It sent glass pieces flying across the dark floor. Maya threw herself over Benson to protect him. Her heart was racing fast like a drum. The air that rushed in through the hole was cold and bitter. It tasted like metal and chemicals. It hurt her throat like a knife."Run!" Benson shouted. He grabbed Mayas arm. His fingers were shaking,. He was still strong.They moved backward on the slippery floor. Above them a giant eye. As big as a car tire. Moved in its socket. The red recording light at the center of the eye blinked. It was not just looking at them; it was showing them to the world. Here in the ruins of the real world the TV show was still happening."It is a Harvester " Maya whispered. Her eyes were wide with fear. She knew this machine from the drawings in the Library. "It is the machine that takes care of the sleeping pods. It thinks we are parts that fell out
COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS CHAPTER 105 : THE PULSE OF THE MACHINE
The red light on the television was not just blinking. It was pulsing like a heart that was bleeding. Mayas breath caught in her throat. The sound of the breathing machine was like the footsteps of a giant coming to find her. She tried to lift her hand to point at the screen. She wanted to wake her father up.. Her muscles felt like cold stone.She tried to say "Dad".. Only a little bit of air came out of her mouth. She could not make a sound. Her father was sitting in a chair. He was not moving. His chin was on his chest. His Bible was on his knees. He looked very peaceful. He looked real.. As Maya watched the red light on the TV she saw something that scared her. The shadows on the wall behind her father were not moving. They were frozen.The television screen flickered again. The camera zoomed in on Mayas face. The picture was very sharp. She could see every mark on her skin. A small box appeared on the screen. It said "42.1 million people are watching" and "Maya is trending". Maya
COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS CHAPTER 104 : THE DIRECTOR'S CUT
The air in the space did not smell like paper anymore. It smelled like the electricity of a lot of television screens. Maya felt the cold wind of the Real World hitting her face through the shrinking hole in the sky. She could see her hospital room but the hand of light was stronger. It grabbed the edges of the hole in the universe. Pulled it shut. Creeeeak. The sound was like an iron gate closing forever.Maya screamed. "Benson help me!" She planted her feet on the wooden floor of the Library. She grabbed the edge of the hole with her hands. The light burned her palms. She did not let go.Benson jumped forward. His bright blue eyes were glowing like fire. He wrapped his arms around Mayas waist and pulled backward. "I am not a show!" he roared. His voice was so loud it made the floating books shake. "I am a man. I am a son. I am a husband."Maya could see the man in the suit. He was standing in her hospital room in the city of Uyo. He was leaning against the wall where her father sat
COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS CHAPTER 103 : THE STATIC IN THE WALLS
The heart machine was not making its quiet beep. It was screaming. Beep-beep-beep-beep. The sound was not steady anymore. It was a warning. Maya jumped from her bed to the bed next to it. She grabbed Bensons wrist. His skin felt warm and a little sweaty.. When she pressed her thumb against his arm she felt something hard and metallic.It did not feel like a bone. It did not feel like something from a surgery. It felt like a key. Maya shook Bensons shoulder. "Benson wake up!" she whispered loudly. Her voice was shaking. "The doctor is lying to us. This hospital is not real. Look at the clock on the wall."The clock was frozen. The long hand was stuck between twelve and one. It was not moving. There was no ticking sound. The room was very quiet. It felt like being underwater where no sound can reach.Then the door opened. Dr. Sarah was standing there.. She was not alone. Two men in white hospital clothes were behind her. Their faces were too perfect. They did not blink. They did not see
COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS CHAPTER 102 : THE INK BENEATH THE SKIN
The warmth of Bensons hug felt like a lie.Maya stood frozen in the middle of the driveway.Her heart was hitting her chest hard.It did not feel like a heart; it felt like a trapped bird hitting a cage.Benson pulled back.His hands rested on her shoulders.His skin felt warm.He smelled like peppermint and car oil. The smells she loved the most.When she looked past his shoulder the world blinked.* The green leaves of the mango tree in the garden did not move in the wind.They moved in a repeating loop.Down.Down.Like a video that keeps starting over."You look like you have seen a ghost, Maya " Benson said.His voice was smooth like honey. There was a strange echo behind it.He reached out to move a piece of hair from her face."We are finally home " he said."No bad soldiers.No Writers.Just us."Maya looked down at her hand.The silver letters of the word RE-WRITE were glowing brighter now.The pain was sharp.It felt like a needle moving through her nerves.She pulled her ha
COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS CHAPTER 101 : THE GLASS FRONTIER
The car tires screamed loudly as the Writer turned the steering wheel sharply. Rain hit the glass hard. It made the streetlights look like yellow ghosts. Maya sat in the seat. Her heart was beating fast like a trapped bird hitting her chest. She hugged the heavy computer tower tightly to her body. It was hot. It smelled like burnt electricity and smoke.On the laptop screen a crack was getting bigger.Snap.A sharp line of glass appeared across Benson’s frozen face. The Cheap Version of Maya—the doll with the glowing eyes—was no longer just a picture. Her fingers were white and sharp like needles. They were pushing through the crack. They were touching the air inside the car.“She is coming out!" Maya screamed. "The lock is not holding her!”The Writer looked into the mirror. Her face was white. Behind them two black cars were moving fast. "The book bosses sent a signal to the laptop! They are helping the doll break out so she can steal the computer drive from the inside!”“How much b
COLD STEEL, BLEEDING HEARTS CHAPTER 31: THE EMPTY THRONE
The little fishing boat’s engine roared, spitting and growling as it battled the wild North Atlantic waves. Freezing, salty water crashed onto Julian’s face, but he didn’t flinch. He gripped the wooden rail so hard his knuckles looked bone white. In his other hand, he clutched a silver locket, feel

The ground beneath the Silent Garden didn’t just shake—it groaned, deep and terrible, as if something enormous was dying below. Above the crystal ceiling, jet engines shattered the frozen silence.“They’re not waiting!” Julian yelled. He was loud, desperate. He seized Maya’s hand, gripping tightly.

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 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
