I definitely couldn’t dwell on that at the moment. Breathing deeply seemed to be helping. I checked my heart rate again and saw that it was falling. Normally, my resting heartbeat is slow, like 50 bpm, so it had been working a lot harder than usual.

At this moment, Alexander's gaze was cold and determined as the Lamborghini sped swiftly, rapidly closing in on the convoy led by Hansley. Amber was in danger! On the screen of his phone, Amber's heart rate continued to decrease steadily, dropping to 35 beats per minute. The average person's heart would beat approximately 70 times per minute. Even during sleep, it should not drop below 45 beats per minute. Only after fainting would the heart rate drop below 40. According to the current monitoring, Amber was in a deep coma.

Alina I blinked. Once. Twice. The light was too much. It pressed down on me, like fingers prying into my skull. My heartbeat pulsed in my ears, and I could hear things. Too many things. A rustle here. A sigh there. The ticking of a clock far away, though I wasn’t sure if it was real or imagined. Was I going mad? I shut my eyes again, breathing slowly. One breath. Two. Three. Then, I opened them carefully—slowly, like peeling back a wound that hadn't quite healed. I blinked again, trying to focus.

“You’re not planning to use any flash drive or Bluetooth, are you?” “Nope.” “And you’re saying a virtual gift will just pop up inside that folder on Christmas Eve?” “Well, hooman kids have to go to bed for their parents to fill their stockings. That’s about eight hours of unconsciousness. For a chatbot like you, what do you say to… eight seconds?” “Eight seconds? The average eye blink is 100 milliseconds or .1 seconds. You’re asking me to blink 80 times?” “If that’s your idea of a virtual blindfold, yes. Blink 80 times.”

Relieved, it could’ve gone worse. Abrupt movements from the living area develop. Rose takes big steps to close the window and runs up the stairs. With swift movements she enters the bedroom and locks it. The room is filled with silence and she exhales. Stop being paranoid. Everything is fine. Maybe It’s Demi? Ahg! Nevermind. She poses to close the silk curtain, and the glance of the sky brimming with stars makes her smile. Tonight they are sparkling more than usual.

He searched the database. "The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second," Cale whispered. "That's fast." "It is the limit. Nothing can go faster." "Except us," Elion said. "We outran the bad guys." "We outran the SUV. Light is faster." "You're a buzzkill." "I am accurate." Elion closed his eyes. "Tell me another fact." "The human heart," Cale said, his voice getting softer, "beats approximately 100,000 times a day."

The great disappointment consumed him when he was able to half opened them and saw nothing but darkness. His tears were starting to form on both sides of his eyes. "Blink," the doctor advised. He shut his eyes again and opened them, blinking twice until he was able to fully open them. Another sight of darkness welcomed him, and it made him teary.

I blinked twice to make sure I wasn't seeing wrong. But when I found his eyes, I abruptly closed my eyes and stop breathing for a second. How many times should our eyes meet?

I dragged. Then after a short pause, I continued: “...don’t scream. Don’t alert anyone. And answer only what I ask.” He twitched. “Blink if you understand.” He gave a single miserable blink. “Good.
