    Ch. 10.5- The ceiling of the den

    Serviceman’s bullet flew higher and higher, parting the colored factory smoke while rapidly spinning towards a target clueless of what was coming its way. Once it reached the ceiling of the County’s current floor, it tore through the layers of metallic plates until it dug out the other side and a second later, through the…

    Ch. 9 Three weeks vacation ( Part 2)

    The pair spent their last 7 days in the training facility trying to expand how to tackle any possible scenario in the Playground, but the brain wrack brought little to nothing, and Vivar decided that if a fight was inevitable, he would either ask Siete to run and hide, leaving him to deal with the…

Refuses, on some weird principle, to ever…

    Ch 7: The rapturing

    The ride up was slow and silent, but not awkward, as how could someone ever trade the sense of glamour and emulation of nouveau riche to small talk? For most of them, this was the cleanest, emptiest, and shiniest lift they had ever taken in their life, and savored it while it lasted. Out of…

    Ch 6: What are names?

    Behind the frail, large tube that brought up the batch of new workers, a smaller, well-kept one was hidden from the public eye.
