《Sasha》37. ~Nervous~
Advertisement
Yatsu resisted Sasha's attempt to pull him inside her house. He wasn't sure if it was his imagination but he swore the curtains moved, and two pairs of glowing eyes stared at him a moment ago. One pair beamed bright amber in colour, and the other a cold blue, almost as blue as Sasha's. Yatsu felt hunted, like a deer stalked by wolves. Sasha dragged him in regardless, and he immediately scanned for anyone around, but the window space was empty. “Was there someone just here?” he asked pointing at the window. "Those were my sisters, they probably disappeared into the basement," Sasha's calm voice eased Yatsu a little. She placed her bag down, took off her shoes and bid him to do the same. He followed suit, tried to be polite and tidy by placing his stuff beside hers. When she took hold of his arm again things didn't feel quite right, but he dismissed it. I'm just nervous. Calm. Down. He breathed in, and breathed out, but struggled as if his sister were strangling him in one of her hugs "What's wrong?" Sasha asked, facing him. He tensed up to respond with nothing, but her eyes; he couldn’t lie to her. "Nervous," he honestly replied. "I feel like I'm being watched." She nodded, understanding. "Want to meet them?" "Uh-only if they want to meet me." She nodded again with a smile. Sasha lived in a pretty normal house from where Yatsu stood. The walls were white and bare, floors free of clutter, and the entrance led into the living room. No second floor, but definitely a basement. "Want to watch a movie?" Sasha asked and gestured to the living room. "Sure," Yatsu made himself comfortable while Sasha set one up. Wasn't long before Sasha joined him on the couch, or more accurately, lay across the couch with her head resting on his lap. She reached back, grabbed one of his arms and hugged it in front of her. Before the movie started playing Yatsu’s body relaxed. Exhaustion caught up to him. Walking around all afternoon drained him of his energy. Before the movie’s title displayed, he closed his eyes.

Many Minded
Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author. Cover art by me! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Soft CW: Decent amount of swearing, but it's not maliciously aimed.
