The bus station did not just smell like fuel and sweat anymore. It smelled like books that were burning. Mayas heart was beating fast. It was a sound that made her eyes go blurry. She grabbed Bensons blue work suit. Her fingers were tight. She was shaking a lot."Maya take it easy! You are tearing my clothes " Benson said. He tried to laugh.. His smile died when he saw her face. "You look like you have seen a ghost. You look like you are seeing one now.""We have to go, Benson. The shadows... Look at the shadows!" Maya said.She pointed at the floor. A woman carrying a basket of food walked past them. The woman was moving.. Her shadow stayed behind. The shadow was stuck to the ground. Then it started to move. It did not follow the woman. It turned its head toward Maya. Its eyes were empty."What is happening?" Bensons voice was quiet. He dropped his soda. The glass broke. The liquid spilled around his boots.. It did not spread. It formed letters on the floor.RUN, LITTLE DOCTOR."I do

The wooden boat on the teachers desk was not just sitting there. It started to leak.. It was not leaking water. A thick dark liquid came out of the wood. It looked like blood but it smelled like fresh ink from a pen. Mayas breath stopped in her throat. She looked at the three doctors sitting in front of her for the exam. Their faces were still as stone. Their eyes were fixed on their paper folders. They did not seem to see the black puddle spreading across the wood."Student Benson?" the lead doctor asked. She had glasses and a cold voice. "We are waiting for your answer. How do you treat a heart that's under too much pressure?"Maya felt a hand squeeze hers. It was warm and rough. It was the hand of a man who worked with tools and oil. She looked to her left. The chair was empty. Benson was gone. The invisible friend who had given her strength a second ago had vanished. Now there was a cold wind in the room.Maya started to speak. Her voice was shaking. "You treat the cause. You take

Maya loved Benson. He was a man.. Now Bensons eyes had a weird silver light in them. It was like a heartbeat. Every time it flashed the hospital room changed. One second Benson was the man Maya loved. The second he was like a doll with no heart.Maya shouted at Benson. "Benson look at me!" She grabbed his shoulders. Her fingers dug into his work suit. "Do not let them take you! You told me you were my anchor. You said you would hold me to the world!"Benson did not blink. His mouth opened,. His voice was wrong. It sounded like people talking at the same time. "The readers want trouble " he said in a flat voice.Bensons fingers began to change. They grew long and sharp. They turned into black metal pen tips. "Maya if we do not give them a fight they will delete the city. They will erase us both. The story needs blood."Maya was scared. She looked at the nurse standing by the door. The nurse was clicking a diamond pen. Every time the pen clicked the hospital walls shook. The color chang

The flying car moved fast it screamed across the purple sky of the new Lagos. Maya held the edge of her seat so tight her fingers turned white. Below them the city was a mix of green plants and shiny silver metal. It was beautiful. It felt weak like a painting that was still wet and could be ruined with one touch."Hold on tight!" Julian shouted over the wind. He pulled a handle and the car turned sharply to the left. They almost hit a floating sign that was flashing letters: STORY ERROR. RE-WRITING NOW.Maya asked Julian "Why is the sky turning grey at the edges?" Her voice was shaking. She looked back at the mirror on the side of the car. She looked for the woman with the laptop. She was gone. Only the busy streets were there.Julian said, "The Writer is losing control." His eyes were fixed on the horizon. "She tried to delete Maya.. When Maya joined with her double she became too heavy for her book. Maya is now a bug in her computer code a bug that is eating her story."Maya looked

The computer tower on the floor was making a noise, like a bee that was trapped. Mayas fingers touched the metal of the golden key that was hanging around her neck. The big screen above her showed a world that was like a nightmare. Benson was standing with his back to the camera looking up at the sky where a giant finger was still hanging in the air. He was. Looked very happy because he thought Maya was safe.. He did not see the shadow moving behind him.The Cheap Version of Maya, a doll with eyes raised a knife made of white light. Her face did not move,. Her voice came through the computer speakers sounding like paper rubbing together. "The Writer says the story needs a death Maya. If you turn that key and lock this world I will make sure his last second is a scream of pain."Maya shouted at the monitor "Do not touch him!" Her voice sounded strange in the bedroom it felt thin and weak in the real world. The seven-year-old boy, Leo jumped back in his chair his face was white with fea
