His Untouchable Omega
I realized, the words vibrating with a frequency that shattered the glass of every tank in the room.
The infants in the amber fluid tumbled to the floor, gasping their first breaths of air. My son, now completely dry, stood up in the center of his shattered tank. He wasn't a baby anymore. In the span of seconds, he had aged into a toddler, his hazel eyes burning with a gold fire that mirrored my own.
He looked at the Pit rebels, then at my mother, and finally at me.
"Mother," he said, his voice no longer a whisper, but a resonant boom. "The Audit is incomplete. They forgot to count the cost of the soul."
