The wind did not smell like the wet forest anymore. For a second the smell of trees and rain vanished. It was replaced by the smell of cleaning stuff and electricity. Maya stood still. Her heart was beating fast like a drum hitting her ribs.. Her eyes were fixed on Benson.He kept walking toward her. His arms were wide open. To anyone he looked like a worried man coming to save his future wife.. Maya saw something different. She saw his eyelid flicker. A tiny jump that wasn't human.T-R-A-P. The tapping sound in her head was loud now. It was like a vibration that made her teeth ache."Maya you are shaking " Benson said. He reached out to touch her shoulder. His skin looked warm and real.. When his fingers touched her dirty sleeve the fabric didn't move like cloth. It broke into gray squares for a second before turning back into a shirt. "You have been through a lot of pain. Let the doctors check your body.""Don't touch me " Maya said.She stepped back. Her heels sank into the dirt..

The computer screens in the Sahara building had stopped showing numbers. Instead they were filled with a white light that was screaming at everyone. Maya stood still her eyes fixed on the monitor on the wall. Thousands of people were walking out of the glass tanks blinking in the hot desert sun. Every single one of them had a silver leaf scar on their hand that was glowing. It was not a mark anymore it was a light that was beating like Mayas own heart."They are not victims Maya " the Teacher said quietly. He stepped closer to her his shadow stretching across the metal floor. The soldiers behind him lowered their guns and their faces turned pale with fear. "They are the reason the world has been broken for long. We did not put them in tanks to take their dreams. We put them there because if they woke up the real world would end."Suddenly the glass window of the Master Suite exploded. It did not break because of a stone or a bullet. It broke because the air pressure in the room had ch

The walls of the laboratory were not just shaking they were melting into white smoke. Maya reached for the metal computer desk. Her hand went right through it. She felt a stinging feeling in her fingers like her body was being rubbed out by an invisible eraser. Across the room Sarah was screaming. Her body was flickering like a lightbulb that was about to burn out."Maya, my legs I cannot feel my legs " Sarah cried. She reached out her hand. Her arm turned into a cloud of glowing blue squares before snapping back into skin and bone.Maya tried to run toward her friend. The floor felt like it was made of water. Every step she took was heavy and slow.The child outside the window was glowing with a light bright it turned the Sahara sand into a giant mirror. He looked up at the tower. Pointed a small finger.The glass window disappeared it did not break into pieces it just vanished into the air. The hot desert wind rushed into the room. It did not smell like dust it smelled like flowers

Maya was holding Bensons hand in the hospital room. The silver ring on his finger was not melting it was a normal ring.. Then it started to bleed. Thick black ink was pouring over his fingers. It was dripping onto the white hospital bedsheets making a stain. Maya tried to pull her hand but the air in the room felt thick and heavy. It was like she was trying to move through honey. Her lungs were burning, like she was breathing in smoke.Maya screamed at Benson to drop the ring. Her voice sounded strange like paper tearing.. Benson did not move. His eyes were not his eyes anymore. They were like two silver mirrors. They were reflecting Mayas face back at her. Bensons arm started to shake and jump in movements. It looked like his bones were breaking.Benson said something. It was not his voice. It sounded like a lot of people whispering at the time. He said the wedding was the end of the chapter. Maya jumped backward her heel caught on the floor and she crashed into a metal tray. There w

The boat in Mayas hand was burning. It was a weird feeling that went up her arm and into her chest. Outside the car window the busy streets of Lagos were getting all fuzzy. A yellow bus in the lane was blinking on and off like a light that was about to go out. For a second it turned into a gray picture before it went back to being a real bus."Benson stop the car! Stop it now!" Maya yelled.She reached out to grab the steering wheel. Benson was really scared his eyes were wide. His face was pale. He slammed on the brakes. The car stopped right in the middle of the road. Other drivers started honking their horns. Angry men were shouting in the air."Maya what is going on? We are in the middle of traffic!" Benson was breathing hard. He looked at her like he was worried about her. His hands were gripping the wheel tight that his knuckles were white."Look at this!" Maya held the boat right in front of his face. Her hand was shaking hard the boat was almost falling. "Where did this come f
