Zero Sign Novels & Stories

“Was never a Force.” Auren froze. “What?” Original Auren stepped closer. “It was the part of you that you removed.” The eight symbols stopped moving. Zero's voice suddenly echoed from somewhere in the darkness. “Auren…” Auren turned. Zero appeared. But he was bleeding. His body was covered in cracks of white light. Auren rushed toward him. “Zero!” Zero raised his hand. “Don't.” Auren stopped. Zero looked toward Original Auren. “He's lying.” Original Auren smiled.

Checking that they were reading the same thing. Damon looked at the list. At number ten. If this goes wrong I’m allowed to be furious at both of you simultaneously. Agreed in advance. “Yeah,” he said. “I know what it is.” “Good.” Marcus plated the eggs. Put them on the table. Sat down. Picked up his coffee. Looked at the two of them. “Don’t make me use number ten.” “We won’t,” Zara said. “I will absolutely use it if I have to.”

It wasn't a symbol of a closed system. "What's that?" Meilin asked. Leo looked at the circle, then at the fire, then at the horizon where the first real lights of a rebuilding city were beginning to twinkle. "It's a 'Zero'," Leo said with a faint, witty smile. "But I think... I think I'm going to turn it into a 'One'." He drew a single line through the circle. The story of the Project Renaissance had ended. The story of Humanity 2.0 had just begun.

So close she could feel his warm breath on her upper lip, then he grinned thumbing her nose. "You are sooo pretty'' he said staring straight into her eyes. Zutara flushed under his gaze suddenly feeling shy. ''Forgive my manners'', he pulled away smoothly twirling a lock of her hair "I'm Minre, Air - binder at your service''. "I'm Zutara'' she grinned back at him accepting a warm cup of oats from Riz. ''And that is my new twin brother Sven'' they both turned, he with a bright smile, she with a dark scowl.

Just one. A single line of green text appeared on the main screen. REBOOT COMPLETE. Then, a second line. HELLO, MOTHER. I stared at the screen. Who are you? I typed. The cursor blinked. I AM ZERO, came the reply. AND I AM EVERYONE. I looked at Zero's body. Her eyes snapped open. They weren't white. And they weren't gold. They were black. Absorbing all light. She sat up. The leather restraints snapped like twine.

Lizzie, on the other hand, was leaning on the arm of the sofa, grinning from ear to ear like a shark. “Sit,” Valour said, pointing to the hard chair in front of his massive desk. I sat down gently, looking down with a fake remorse. “A zero.” He said the word like it was a curse. “Out of one hundred. Not a forty. Not a twenty. A zero.” I didn’t say anything.

The framing of family zero as betrayers was not publicized, so many people didn't know about the zero family. They only thought they were named because they were so weak and did no contributions to the war. "No.0, huh, Weakest family still got the guts to fight.", said Karl and he turned and looked at Kelly and Jasmine, "Why are you two still standing here, get out of my sight, if it's a tie it means you both lost". Kelly and Jasmine looked at each other, they shrugged and chuckled and they looked at the pathetic state of their teacher after Ben mocked him and left the class.

I hoped to leave our story with the last bit of grace. However, he did not even give me that chance, so I did not want that dignity anymore. Besides, what dignity was there in a relationship already broken beyond repair, soaked in betrayal and lies? It was just my own self-deception. Zach stared at me, desperately searching my eyes for even the slightest emotion. Yet there was nothing left there he recognized. There was no love, no anger, no sadness, not even hatred. His hand dropped abruptly. The ring fell to the ground, and he did not even notice.

"I can't make these calls alone. They need your perspective." There was a pause on the other end of the line. "Okay," he said finally. "I'll be there in thirty minutes." He arrived looking carefully neutral. We didn't hug or touch or do any of the intimate things we'd been doing before Wednesday's disaster. We just... existed in the same space professionally. The color corrections were the final piece of the campaign before full launch. Shadows and tones and emotional resonance translated through visual medium. Everything we'd built distilled into precise technical specifications.
