The Dead Don't Lie
The watery solution was very warm and thicker than she thought it would be. Naci could feel it painfully entering her lungs and filling them up as if she was a human water balloon. “So, this is the trauma of being reborn. Painful! Damn, it hurts! No wonder babies are born crying.” She thought to herself.

The Protector
Sarah stood in her little two room unit looking out the window. It was starting to rain and with very few streetlights, the city is black and gloomy. Even though it has been years since the war ended, going out at night could mean the end of your life. The war has left the world in ruins.

The Greatest Loss
“Negativity is born from the rejection of our own divinity,” my mother’s words echoed inside me. I believe I would have lost my mind already, had the memories of her not provided me company. She expressed this phrase to me as a child, and is something I think of often. It’s the accuracy of it all. The world never truly accepted the divinity of women. Now, it’s too late.

Muscle-shaped Memento
I happen to be a cyborg made of patched-up limbs drawn from all four corners of this giant junkyard. Though this may first seem impressive, I do admit to my constant discomfort, as these limbs are graphed on haphazardly and the constant knee jerks are sometimes a problem.

Oratio Analyze Exemplar ’Vendun
The loci filed silently into the hall. An improbable number of them, wide eyed and lockstepped. Parodically large heads teetering on childish bodies, aerogelled from collar to sole to insulate their attenuate frames. DataSpheric™ had an edge this quarter with their nextgen loci clones, a marvel in quantum biocomputation. Relative dominion over unstable quantum effects had been achieved by migrating the system into networked biology, hence the sizable cohort of post-human data slaves capable of functioning as one.

AI
Jack was more on edge tonight than usual. He paced back and forth over the same 6 squares of the linoleum floor of the tiny meeting room . Then suddenly he would dart about in another direction. His speech patterns followed his movements first to the edge of the table , then back to his chair and cross to the window placed much too high for viewing. He began a thought then another would enter as he changed positions, his movement batting thoughts away that were trying to escape through his mouth.
