The heavy lead door did not just break. It turned into a cloud of red dust. Hecate walked through the dust as if she were walking through a beautiful garden. June locked eyes with the woman’s purple gaze. Leo curled up on the floor, his whole body shaking, every muscle clenched in pain.

She rushed to her son, scraping her knees on the cold stone, not even noticing the sting. She pulled Leo into her lap and wrapped herself around him, trying to block him from view. Behind her, Marcus and Dante s

    The air in the lab did not feel fresh like the rain in my dream. It felt cold and metallic like something was burning.June tried to get up. Her legs felt weak like they were made of wet paper. She fell against the metal pod she was in. The cold metal felt like ice on her skin. All the alarms in the room were screaming loudly. The noise hurt her ears. Made her head spin.A voice said, "Do not move, Subject 03."June looked up. Saw a boy.. He did not look like a real boy. His skin was too smooth, like stone. There were icons in his eyes that looked hungry. He was floating in the air his feet not touching the ground.June asked, "Where is he?" She did not care about the soldiers with guns moving towards her. She looked at the man in the pod next to her. This man sounded like the Assistant. "Where is Benson?"The man looked at her with scared eyes. He started pulling wires out of his head with fingers. "I am the backup " he said. "I am the saved file. The real Benson stayed in the fire."

    June did not scream. She could not scream. Her throat felt like it was filled with wet sand.She stared at the television screen. Her eyes were wide and unblinking. The news lady was. Her voice sounded like it was coming from a deep well. "...The biggest medical test in history " the voice said. "Doctors say the students are okay. They are just sleeping deeply.""June look at me" Benson said. His voice was sharp.He did not come near her. He moved back. His boots made a scratching sound on the floor. The sound was too loud and too clear. It sounded like a recording not like someone walking in a house."I am looking at you Benson" June whispered.She slowly turned her head. There was a green circle in the corner of Bensons eye. It was spinning. It looked like the "Save" icon on a computer. It was beating like a heart. It was like a ghost living inside his eye."You see it too do you not" Benson asked. He reached up to touch his eye. His fingers were shaking. "It feels like a bug's movi

    The blue sun did not feel warm anymore. It felt sharp like a thousand needles pressing against Junes skin.She stood in the middle of the field. Her hand was shaking. It was an inch away from the glowing "YES" button in the air.The air around her smelled like flowers and fresh rain. This was a world made from pieces of a dying one.. Behind the beautiful blue sky she could still hear the ghost of the Generals voice.* "One soul for a planet June. Save people by killing just one."* "June? Why are you shaking?" Benson stepped closer to her.He reached out to touch her shoulder. His hand was no longer made of skin. It was shining, metal that caught the blue sunlight.He looked perfect. Strong, healthy and young.. As his fingers touched her arm June pulled away."If I press this Benson " June whispered, her voice cracking like wood "the 'Original Universe' is deleted. That means the basement. The bridge. The ruins of our city. All of it... Will be gone forever.""But June those places we

    Junes feet were on a metal bridge. It was shaking really badly. It was making a noise because it was so old and rusty. June fell down. Her knees hit the cold metal. It hurt a lot. One minute she was a ghost made of light. She could float around. The minute she was a real person with a body that could feel pain. Her heart was beating fast and it felt like a bird was trapped inside her."June you are solid " Benson said. He was moving towards her. He was not walking. He was crawling on his hands and knees. His fingers were holding onto the metal bridge and his hospital clothes were blowing in the wind. The air was really thin. It smelled bad. It smelled like something was burning."Stay back Subject 04 " the General said. He was not holding a gun. He had a remote control. He pressed a button and a part of the bridge moved away. Now there was a gap between Benson and June. If they looked down they would see a scary empty space."Benson " June screamed. She was reaching out her hand to hi

    The air in the basement did not smell like computer data. It smelled like bleach, old metal and the flat scent of a hospital room for the dead.Junes ghost moved through the air. She was a flickering shape made of silver and gold light. Below her the soldiers in armor moved fast. They were men with skin and bone. Their heavy boots made a noise against the concrete floor."Target the machine!" the leader of the soldiers shouted. His voice was hard to hear because of his black gas mask. "If the soul does not go back into the pod in sixty seconds the link will break. Burn everything!"A soldier raised a flamethrower. A small orange flame danced at the end of the metal pipe. He pointed it directly at the pod with BENSON on it."No!" June shrieked. Her voice did not move the air. It moved through the electrical wires in the ceiling. The lights above exploded in a shower of sparks. June dived down. She poured her light into the computer screen of Bensons pod.The screen flickered to life. E

    June dropped her book. The heavy book hit the ground of the Umuahia market with a loud thud.. She didn't even notice. Her eyes were locked on the sky.The two giant glass moons hung there. They shone with a fake light. They weren't shapes. They were containers. In the moon she saw her luxury apartment. She had just eaten breakfast there. In the moon she saw the red mud and the broken library of the university."Benson don't move " June whispered. She reached out. Her fingers shook as she gripped his shirt. He felt warm. He smelled like the dust of the wind and the oranges in his grocery bag.. In front of his face a glowing blue screen floated in the air.* The Doctor’s Dream (Restart & Forget)* The Rebel’s Ruin (Return to the Crater)* The Architect’s Mercy (Delete Everything)"June I can't breathe " Benson gasped. He dropped his bag of groceries. The oranges rolled across the dirt. They moved between the feet of the women selling food in the market.The strange thing was that the wo

    The floor of the ship tipped so fast June’s feet skidded across the cold metal. A loud, deep groan came up from under the water. It sounded like some huge animal waking up after a long sleep. The ship was dying. “The submarine is connecting to us!” Marcus yelled. He grabbed a metal pipe to steady

    The end didn’t come with fireworks or some earth-shattering roar. It crept in on a low, building hum. When the countdown hit zero, that black hole inside the oven didn’t blow up. Instead, it started to inhale—slow and strange. A wave of sound rolled out—so deep no one could hear it, yet strong enou

    The big black ship let out a noise that tore through everything—a sound like metal shattering, but also pure fear, raw and echoing.
