- ABOUT THE AUTHOR
- What’s next onyour reading list?
I am wondering if I am having more determination than my other synth brother and sister, because I am walking and I am passing by their body that is lying in the red dust in pieces and I am asking myself how I am still walking and they are not if we are being the same. I am puzzling this inside my brain when I am realizing that I am walking past an Enyemaka.
She is frozen where she is standing and her arm is stuck like she is still being in the middle of walking. She is like someone is pressing pause on a recording and never pressing play. I am seeing rusting on her body like rash that is spreading over her chest and her legs and part of her face and I am looking in her face and I am seeing no light in her eyes. I am standing in front of her and hunching my back over even if it is paining me so I can look at her face more fully, and I am waving my hand in front of her face and trying to speak words from inside my brain but she is saying nothing. I am feeling no reaction from her. Then I am taking cord from the back of my neck and I am plugging it into Enyemaka and at first I am not knowing why I am doing this. Maybe I am thinking that she is not all the way expired, and I am hoping to give her some of me to be having in her last moments. Maybe I am not wanting to be so alone so I am simply spending time talking to someone who is not here like I am seeing other synths doing before they are expiring. Maybe I am soon expiring and my body is knowing this before my brain is knowing this.
