Prologue
His breathing heavy, unable to move, body held by exoskeleton, although lower half is already sunken to the floor, legs scraped and cut by parts of broken glass, some bits already stuck in flesh.
He is bleeding. Unable to move, speak or even cry.
From what he sees in this room – it has been decades. Many years since everyone got killed. Mummified corpses of researchers are left around, in same places they were shot.
Facility running on reserve energy supply from hell knows where. Air is heavy, dusty, most of research lab raided and destroyed.
Monitors, although covered with layers of dust, display graphs and stats of the last existing patients – test subjects, still attached to the system.
He knows – there is no way for him to survive. He gives a look around – glance leads to another cryogenic container. There is someone else, besides him, who’ll have more chances of survival. Way more chances than he does.
With all there is left for him – he can last another 6-8 hours more, before last bit of his mind fails him, just like his disabled body that is dying rapidly.
Time that’s left – he must get her out. She is last of the once existing family. His hopes are now on her.
He closes his eyes once more.
“System Compliance Granted” – rippled muffled voice of AI says as he drifts off.

genlynne2379: I read the other review of this book and I must say that I disagree with it wholeheartedly.

They should have different names a...

snowview03: This is the first book I have read on this app and I loved it! When I read the title I thought about the hunger games, but this novel is so much more.

kwilliams: I am an avid reader, and I do mean AVID and few indie authors capture my attention the way you have. I absolutely fell in love with these characters and their story. I'm usually not a fan of the cliff hanger endings (be it a series or not), but this one made me download the Kindle app just so I c...
Marijana1: The melancholy present throughout this story has the power to influence and etch into the minds of the readers, to stay there and refuse to leave even after they have finished reading the story.
