Lobotomy Corporation Red Mist Novels & Stories

The darkness hissed and shrieked, clawing at the air in a desperate attempt to escape, but the forge’s magic held firm. Aria pushed forward inside me. “It’s working.” I exhaled sharply, feeling the weight in my chest finally loosen. For days, we had searched for a way to undo the corruption that Zerathos had tainted me with. For days, we had argued over whose life had to be sacrificed to rid one of his corruption. And now, at last, it was happening. The rogue’s body went still, his face frozen in an expression of shock and agony. His lips parted slightly as if he wanted to speak—but no sound came. His head fell to the side, his lifeless eyes staring into nothing.

She could sense the turmoil that simmered beneath the surface. "Do you feel any different after taking them?" Athena inquired, her voice gentle yet laced with genuine concern. Her gaze met his, searching for the truth hidden within his stormy eyes. "I feel nothing," Aron replied, his voice carrying a profound sense of emptiness. The confirmation mirrored Athena's suspicions. The sedatives administered to Aron were part of the regimen prescribed to inmates on death row, heightening her anticipation for the results of her analysis. She silently expressed gratitude for Dr. Martin's assistance in maintaining the confidentiality of her research.

Whenever he had his shoulders squared like that, Lark knew it would be a waste of time trying to talk him out of any decision he had made. "Alright mate. I'll leave you to it." Lark watched quietly, his eyes darting to and fro as Roman poured him a drink very carefully to avoid spilling it. He smiled, recalling how Roman had to be careful about everything he did. It was an old habit. He hated making mistakes. Lost in their own world, neither of them took notice of the tall and slender lady entering the room with a knife in hand. Her hair looked like a mass of rough sponge and her eyes were spitting fire.

"There are wanted posters all over the city. How long do you think you can hide?" Corbin blinked, then pulled a small bottle from his pocket and waved it in front of me. "That's exactly why we have to move fast." The liquid inside was clear. My stomach plummeted. "What are you doing?" His smile widened, and the madness behind it was no longer something he could contain. "Gage, have you ever wondered what acid feels like on your face?" My eyes went wide. I shot to my feet and tried to back away, but he was faster. He twisted the cap off and flung the contents at me. In that split second, someone came hurtling out of nowhere and yanked me clear.

Lyra inside me, warm and present and not driving, moved toward the surface the way she moved when something required her specific knowledge. The meaning arrived fully formed the way her meanings always arrived. The incomplete lines in Maret were not damage. They were waiting. The entity had started the binding process in her thirty-one years ago and had stopped it when it determined that a different candidate was more viable and it had left the partial binding in place because removing it was more complex than leaving it and because Maret was not a priority and the entity had always been very clear about its priorities. But the binding process in its original form, Lyra's form, was not the e

If anything it made me more angry and even more frustrated. There was someone who was clearly desperate for Ellie to be dead. So desperate that they used her own brother against her in a seriously cruel manner. "At the moment we are trying to purge Link of the drugs in his system so we can begin deconstructed his mind to get his real memories back," Nicole said. "So he wasn't actually in control of his actions?"

“My God Lara, you just didn't allow the criminal to escape from jail. You even kept him in a safe house!” Monica spat out the moment they were home. “What criminal are you talking about?” the voice of Robert came. “Well then, who else? I’m referring to one of the men who had abducted Miriam, and the reason why the cops couldn't find him is because of this woman right here. I wonder what she was thinking.” Monica said loudly. “I was thinking that Joseph would be the only way to make sure that Miriam and Christain would never get back together, and now my plans have all been totally ruined because you had to step in!” Lara informed them in a loud tone of voice.

"Get your things and get out of my building before I call the police and press federal charges for corporate sabotage." Sobbing loudly, Clara grabbed her folders and practically ran out of the room. The heavy doors clicked shut. Turning back to the laptop, I hit a few keys. The trace logs vanished, replaced by the clean, sleek user interface of my diagnostic software. The system was completely purged and ready to run. "Now," I said, offering the investors a sharp, confident smile. "Let's talk about the future of medicine." Two hours later, I walked out of the boardroom with five signed contracts and a completely untouchable status within the firm. Adrenaline pumped furiously through my veins

Instantly, Eclipse became alert, her ears went back, and her tail dropped as she tensed, ready to attack. 'Come on, guys, just give me the excuse I am looking for.' I mind-linked them gleefully and felt a deep thrill when they continued towards me. I had never known what the red mist was. How it totally consumed my thoughts, feelings and every cell in my body.

Before they got anywhere near me, I released my tense muscles and felt my jaws sink into soft flesh, letting them snap together like a bear trap.

But at least she was not interfering with him and Ryder. It was then that she saw the eyes shining back at her and heard the half growl, half whimper. When they came closer, she began to back up. She was not sure about this and was now wishing she had stayed in her room. She didn't remember shifting as she had been on drugs to cover up her memories, so she did not realize that this was not just a regular wolf. Feeling herself bump into the tree behind her, she stood mesmerized as the wolf came out of the trees and she was able to get a look at it.
