Candy's Secret
The next time I woke, I was confused. I couldn't remember where I was until Candy shifted in her sleep, snuggling closer with a slight murmur. I frowned, wondering why I had woken up. Surely it wasn't morning yet?
My body told me that it was. It was the oddest feeling... I'd slept through an entire night with no nightmares. None that I could recall... I seemed to recall something about a purple dragon racing a unicorn, but that was probably because I'd told the kids a story about a dragon the night before.
I'd been careful not to move too much, but even slight movements jostled her awake. She looked at me with a soft smile, kissing me gently. "Good morning."
I returned her kiss. "Good morning. Sleep well?"
"Better than I have in a long time," she said, holding me tightly

A few hours later, Candy surprised me with a warm shower. The only intact facility like that in the whole town, from what she said."There's a hidden tank on the roof that I painted black to absorb sunlight," she explained. "There's not a lot of water, but at least it's warm. To conserve, we should share the facilities.She was determined not to let me go any sooner than necessary, but she had a good point.After the heat chased away the shivers from the broken windows, I quickly dressed, mentally reviewing my plan. I was about to leave the bathroom when I noticed something out of place. A bottle on the counter... nearly full of pills. I picked it up and looked at it, feeling a hint of dread. "Candy? What's this?"She raised her eyebrows, shooting me a look of exasperati
My Shattered World Outwitting a Monster
Several hours passed as the three of us were locked into a sort of sick staring contest. My legs ached from the effort of balancing on the ledge, which was narrower than I'd first thought. The ledge was wide enough for me to stand, but not wide enough to sit. The one time I had tried, I'd nearly fallen back into the lion's pit of death.I doubted I would outlast either the zookeeper or the cat. Every time I looked at the keeper, he'd just give me a raised-eyebrow look as if to inquire whether I was about to make a break for it. I never bothered to respond.After pacing for an hour, the lion came to the same conclusion I had: I wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. He laid down across the floor of the pen, watching me in hungry annoyance. Fresh meat was so close at hand, and yet entirely out of his reach.This wo
My Shattered World A Favor Repaid
As I reached the zoo entrance, somewhere nearby, I heard a small, sobbing scream. A child... a little girl? The zoo's latest victim was possibly still alive, and I couldn't just walk away from her. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't be in here.I followed the sounds as I wound through paths, trying to ignore the pain in my shoulder. I found another pen, this one entirely glass in except for an observation area screened with wide mesh. At the bottom of the pen was a boa constrictor, stretched to its limit to try to reach the top of the screen.At the top, clinging for dear life with her fingers and toes jammed into the screen, was a little girl, no more than five. Stark naked, she was white and shaking with fear, crying and screaming, begging for her mother. As I listened, I heard her scream for her mother... to come back?
My Shattered World The Sixth Memory
"Jonathan, this is absurd! He hasn't even been in the outside world for... years! He was just a little boy, surely there has to be someone else that can do the job. Someone more experienced, better trained..."I sit back in my chair with my arms folded and wait patiently for the argument to end in the only one it possibly can. There is no one else that is right for the job- that would be willing to do it, of course- but they don't want to entrust such a critical mission to the idiot kid that caused our living nightmare in the first place.Grandfather sighs and raises his hands. "Unless you are suggesting that one of the senior staff go, there is no one else. None of us are young enough for such a trip. Of course, there's always Mirele-"Mirele's father, Doctor Hansen, glares at Grandfa
My Shattered World Fight for Life
My shoulder throbbed, but that was a good sign. Sort of. It meant that rather than being dead, as I expected, I was alive. Still fighting, but probably in a whole lot of trouble. Even in my semi-lucid state, I could tell that the wound was infected. Who knew what kinds of bacteriological nasties that monster had laced on his hook?"Mama, he's awake!"I heard steps approach and felt a cool hand on my brow. "Toby? Can you hear me?"Sure, hearing is easy. It's the only sense that doesn't require me to voluntarily move something.Responding to what I heard, on the other hand... that takes a bit more effort.I let out a low sound, somewhere between a grunt and a moan. The hand moved away and something cold and wet was put in its p
My Shattered World Candy's Sacrifice
Despite my best efforts and Candy's constant, tender care, my fever continued to get worse. I started to hallucinate, crying out in pain and fear. She had to gag me to keep my screaming from scaring the children or drawing attention from the outside. I moved in and out of reality, my dreams full of terrible visions. In one, the world seemed to implode, taking both Candy and Mirele into a swirling vortex of hellish flames, desperately screaming my name as they fell. I had the faces of the various controllers scream at me, condemning me and my very existence. I found myself trapped in a small enclosure like one of the zoo animals, starving and weak, fed only when the zookeeper came in to use me for his sick, sexual fantasies. I heard the cries of dying children, the screams of the little girl I'd saved, and the roar of lions that pursued me relentlessly. The dr
My Shattered World Christa's Betrayal
I used Candy's replicator over the course of a day to replenish some supplies in my bag. Then, during the quiet hours of the night, I prepared to leave the orphanage again. This time, I knew I wouldn't return, and so did she. I held her for several minutes before she could bring herself to let me go. "Be careful," she whispered in a voice choked with tears. "If I were careful, I'd just stay here," I quipped as I caressed her face. "I promise, I'll do what needs to be done." She nodded. After one final kiss, I hurried away from her alley and made my way through the shadows. I'd replicated some new, darker clothes, and a parka for my next destination. The dark side. If I did this just right, I'd be able to hop a transport directly to a storage unit at my destination, and that would be underground. I'd be safely awa
My Shattered World The Last Memory
It's time... I look down the long hallway that leads to the outside world. I reach into my pocket for my tablet to confirm my orders... It's not there. I bite back a curse. This isn't exactly the most auspicious start to my mission. I don't even have my most important tool with me! I trudge back to Grandfather's office to pick it up, hoping that he has already left so that I can covertly snag it and still manage a graceful exit. No such luck. He's still in there, and now, someone else is with him. "...mean you didn't tell him?" "Of course not! Would you?" That's Grandfather's voice... tell who what? Something tells me they're talking about me, so I just pause to listen. "For
