I see Grandfather, and he knows I see him. The people surround me, their faces red with anger. Grandfather raises his hands, eventually quieting them. "Toby... what have you done?" The colony world of Horus was a blissful utopia... until a curious little boy made one mistake and sent the world into a downward spiral of self-destruction. The world's gods were revealed to be nothing more than computers... and those computers are now failing. To pay for his mistake, Toby Spafford, now a man, must travel the deadly, ruined streets to find three missing keys that can activate a backup system created by his grandfather, Professor Jonathan Spafford. Dogging his every move are various factions that have grown to like the taste of power over the helpless citizens, and they'll do anything to stop him. In his favor, he is determined, intelligent, bitterly stubborn, and resourceful. Unfortunately... so are his enemies.

My Confession

Every day, on every street, in every city… the view is the same.Of course, I don’t mean what it actually looks like, but there’s a dreary monotony to the landscape. Ruins, in all directions. Heaps of broken concrete and fractured steel beams- the collapsing bodies of what had once been homes, shops, and office buildings- baking in the heat of the unrelenting sun. Once-fanciful fountains are now identifiable only by their outlines and what’s left of their plumbing pipes. There’s no plant life… not even dead ones. They were scavenged early on, in the desperate struggle for food that had eventually cost half the population their lives.The smell is indescribable. It’s misery, anguish… and death.I see movement… a flash here and there, the survivors scuttling be

New Arrival

Stepping out of the transport, I took a look around, feeling a bit of a deer-in-headlights sensation. I’ve already drawn attention simply because I arrived in a transport. The only people with working transports are government agents, and they aren’t well thought of around here.Time to make myself scarce.I knew the direction I needed to go. I needed to hop a ride on one of the aforementioned government transports without the government finding out. I had a few things in my bag that might have encouraged cooperation from the drivers. Might… some of them were so blindly loyal, they’d lay down in the street and let themselves be fried if the governor told them to. It’s kinda… disturbing.However, I also had the suspicion that if I just headed straight to the distribution center,

The First Memory

I stand in the sitting room of Grandfather’s house, listening to his jokes and laughter. Grandmother serves honey-sweet Nektar- the preferred drink of most kids I knew- and a plate of fresh cookies from the replicator in their kitchen. Some prefer to cook their own meals, others prefer to have food made for them instantly. We are free to choose whatever we wish. Our world is perfect… you can have anything you want, at any time.Grandfather gets a call and goes to his study to answer. I’m stealthy, even at the tender age of eight, and I follow. As I listen, dawning realization hits me. Grandfather is somehow involved with the Council! They’re calling him in… some kind of meeting, something about annual maintenance.I know what maintenance is. It’s about fixing or cleaning things… but he’s n

Beta Team

My head felt like someone tried to split it with an axe. I lifted it… I was on a bed in a dark room. I saw stuff on a wall- a jacket and a pack- and I thought they were mine. I felt a bit of panic for a moment, but I wasn’t sure why.I checked myself… I was stripped to my undershorts with a blanket put over me. The room was cool, but not uncomfortably so. What happened to me? I remembered something about… a room. People… a chair… someone telling me to relax… my head was so foggy, I barely remembered my own name.Not name… designation. I didn’t have a name. I was no one… just a scavenger from the streets. I had no family or friends… I meant nothing. I was a soldier in an army… an army built for survival.The door slid open and a man ent

The Pit

It was time to go to the Pit. I felt the excitement from the rest of the team akin to going to some amusement park, and they were all talking about it… though most of the chatter seemed to revolve around their significant others.Forty kept glancing at me, smiling meaningfully. I had no idea what it was about… okay, yeah, I had a feeling I knew what her glances meant, but… why? What could have made her so stuck on me?Forty-five was flabbergasted when I came out of my room in uniform. He wore shorts and a t-shirt, with rough-woven sandals. “Dude… Pit night means you dress down! Don’t you have a dress-down uniform?”“I… uh…”“No, he doesn’t. Make sure he gets one.”

The Second Memory

The entire bunch hurries out of the door of the computer room, running into each other and alternately cursing and apologizing as they yank off their helmets.After they blow through the door of the office, I notice that one of them has dropped something. I hurry over to look…A badge. Their keycard!A rush of excitement runs down my spine. I shouldn’t… I know I shouldn’t… but I can’t help the curiosity. I run over to the door that leads to the funny vacuum room and open it, then I go to the door that leads into the computer room and look through the glass.It’s the most amazing, most complex machine I’ve ever seen in my life. My father has let me tinker with old computers in the p

A Painful Revelation

I woke up gasping and covered in sweat. What a strange dream… was it just a dream?I heard an alarm, and I was out of time to figure it out. Jumping out of bed, I quickly dressed and hurried out to the hallway, lining up with the others. It was my first… actually, I wasn’t sure what to call it. From what I’d heard so far, it was about “scavenging”. We’d go out and scavenge.I saw Forty at the head of the line. As she’d warned, she didn’t look or even smile at me. I let it go. It would be hard to wait until night, but I’d be patient.Somehow, I had the feeling that waiting for things to happen was a big part of my life.Once roll call was complete, we went to the dining room and ate in silence. We were given ju

Forty

Within an hour the Betas were back together with two exceptions. Thirty-Seven had been badly injured and would probably be assigned to Manufacturing.Worse… Lieutenant Beta had died saving him.The Captain didn’t seem all that broken up about losing one of our best guys. I wasn’t sure why, until I saw who was being promoted. Forty was now Lieutenant Beta and she looked positively gleeful.“We have two Deltas coming to join Beta… hey, no snickering guys, they’ve been here a while and they’ve earned their places,” she advised with a stern look.Two people approached us wearing what looked like freshly dyed blue shirts. One was a boy I’d never met, no more than seventeen.T

Punishment

I met the squad just inside of the Underground. They looked at Forty’s injury, barely covering the smirks that were still painfully obvious. Her first command action with the Betas, and she was the only injury.Or was she… where was Forty-Eight?I asked and got a head shake. “He tried to move through the sewers and they cut him down,” Forty-Five explained. “We didn’t dare go after him, but he was hit about a dozen times, so I’m sure he’s dead.”Forty sighed. “Right. What else did you learn, if anything?”“I think that should wait,” I told her, prompting a few gasps from the rest of the squad. “You need a medic.”“Who the hell do y

The Third Memory

The guard left and I heard the door close. I didn’t hear his footsteps move away… this place had some impressive soundproofing. All I could hear was my own breathing.For the first hour, I tried to keep myself awake. It was hard… I didn’t remember anything. I reviewed what little I knew of the Underground, the barracks, the Pit… then I quickly tried to forget the Pit. That one glorious night with a beautiful girl in my arms… it had been a sham.I tried to exercise. I was shackled to the wall so my movement was limited, but I could still move a little. I tried some isotonics, tried jumping in place, but I made little progress and the shackles chafed my wrists.After a while, I got too tired and gave up. I pressed my feet to the floor and leaned back against the wall, using my o
