EXIT RUINLAND (Omnibus)
http://www.amazon.com/Exit-Ruinland-O...Lauren killed their hallowed hybrid synthetic. India's attempt to make the artificial one step closer to human. Is it really murder to destroy a fabricated consciousness? Lexa had the face of a woman but her skin wasn't real. Mimic eyes like boiled eggs. Gadgets for inner organs. She couldn't even survive without oxygen and nutrients everpumped into her pseudoflesh. She was built not born. Cooked in a sauce of chemicals and then stitched together like some motorized voodoo figurine.
A platoon of soldiers searched for her. If they found her she would be shot on sight or beaten and publicly executed. She imagined her son's existence. Conceived in lust. Monster for a father. Murderer for a mother. If he survived her chaotic shell could he ever love her? I will make this right, she whispered. She kept her hope alive like drops of water on a Purgatory tongue.
