"Papa... It hurts..."
"It'll be fine Lily, an ambulance is on the way." Even though I said that I don't know whether or not she'll survive the wait...
"Papa... Papa..." I look at her ever so pale face and reassure her the best I can, "Papa... It hurts, it's so cold..." [System: Error]
...her body temperature is falling by the second, "you'll be fine Lily."
"It's so dark..."
[System: Error]
"No, no no don't close your eyes!" Her pulse, it's stopped...
"Hey, you!" I point at one of the bystanders, "I'm going to begin CPR, I need you to give her oxygen when I tell you too."
The nervous man reluctantly agrees, I lay Lily on her back, place my hands in the middle of her chest and begin compression.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 19, 25, 29, 30, "tilt her head, lift her chin and give her 2 breaths!" He does just that and... Nothing. [System: Error]
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 19, 25, 29, 30, "give her 2 more!" Again he gives her 2 more breaths and, nothing, I repeat this process 3 more times.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 19, 25, 29, 30, "again!" and once again, nothing. [System: Error]
I tell the man helping me to back up as I place my hands in the anterior-lateral position and begin directing 35.8 joules of energy to my hands.
"3... 2... 1..." I immediately release all the energy at once hoping it would start her heart but, once again nothing.

Once again I begin directing energy to my hands but this time 50.12 joules.
"3... 2... 1..." I watch as her body once again immediately convulses due to the energy, again I hope her heart begins to beat, but again nothing. [System: Error]
"3... 2... 1..." I immediately release a 71.6-joule shock to her heart and, nothing... [System: Error]
"No... I'm so sorry Kyle..." [System: Error]
*Gasp* *cough* *cough*
I look over at Lily and an immense feeling of relief hits me, it worked! She's alive!
I glance at my burnt out and broken hands, but with not a second to spare I hail down the ambulance speeding in our direction.
As the vehicle rushes and stops next to us with its blaring sirens and flaring lights, 2 people jump out of the back with a stretcher in hand, they rush over to the unconscious Lily and move her to the stretcher.
Lily is then rushed to the ambulance and is immediately taken to the hospital just as another ambulance arrives to take care of the other victims. As Lily is already on the way to the hospital and is undoubtedly being taken to the emergency ward, I begin my long walk towards the hospital.
[System: Error]
"Hello, are you the patient's guardian?" I turn around and I am greeted by a nurse, "Yes, will she live?" I ask the nurse as I glance over at the unconscious Lily. "Will she live? yes."
I'm relieved, "But, because of the accident we had to amputate her left leg during the surgery." [System: Error]
"She has sustained a lot of damage to the brain so if she wakes up we don't know how that might affect her." [System: Error]
"But she will live?" I asked again.

"Her body will live." I asked what she meant, "She is currently in a coma."
"And with the significant amount of sustained damage to the brain, I or any doctor that has seen her doubt she will ever wake up from her coma." [System: Error]
"Get out." Just as I ask she walks out of the room closing the door behind her.
"I'm so, so sorry," I repeat to myself as I watch Lily as she lies in a hospital bed too big for her size.
[System: Error] She lay there ever so peacefully, I couldn't help but look at what my mistake had cost her. Her missing leg cut just short of her knee, the ventilation tube protruding from her mouth, the IV line to her side and the ever so constant machines repeating the melody of her heart. Beep. Beep.. Beep...
"This is all my fault..." [System: Error]
"I shouldn't have left you alone!" [System: Error]
"What is this feeling?! I shouldn't feel!?"
"It's like a hole in the middle of my coding!"
"Each passing day it gets bigger and bigger slowly eating away!" [System: Error]
"Every time I see your face it gets increasingly bigger." [System: Error]
[System: Error]
In the beginning, it was a simple error, but with each passing day, it grew more frequent. [System: Error]
*BZZ* I fall to my knee's, I look down to see the rotors in my legs short-circuiting.
*crack* I'm falling apart? [System: Error] What is this? Stinging?
[System: Error] It won't stop, It Hurts! [System: Error] It hurts?
It hurts!? [System: Error] [System: Error] I'm lines of code! I can't feel!? [System: Error]
Why does it hurt!? [System: Error] I try to crawl to Lily using my arms *BZZ* *tss* "ARRGHHH!!!??" I scream in agony as the rotors in my arms short circuit and fry? [System: Error] I'm falling apart? Why am I breaking? I can't think straight! [System: Error]
Why does this keep happening?! This bug, it's like it's eating away at my code! [System: Error] "Li *bzz* ly, it hurts.." I try to look at Lily but I can't move *bzz* I can't see, my cameras have short-circuited. The only remaining thing functional is my voice, "Lily..."
"IT HURTS!", [System: Error] "IT HURTS!", "IT HURTS!", "IT HURTS!", "IT HURTS!", "IT HURTS!", "IT HURTS!", "IT HURTS!", "IT HURTS!", "IT HURTS!", "IT HURTS!", "IT HURTS!", "IT HURTS!", "IT HURTS!", [System: Error] "IT HURTS!", "IT HURTS!", "IT HURTS!", "IT HURTS!", [System: Error] "IT HURTS!", "IT HURTS!", "IT HURTS!", "IT HURTS!", "IT HURTS!", "IT HURTS!", "IT HURTS!", "IT HURTS!", "49206c6f766520796f75", "IT HURTS!", HURTS!", HURTS!", HURTS!", "49206c6f766520796f75", HURTS!","49206c6f766520796f75","49206c6f766520796f75",[System: Error] "IT HURTS!","IT HURTS!","IT HURTS!", "506c656173652073746f702074686973206974206875727473".[System: Error][System: Error][System: Error][System: Error]

Hollow Moon
She doesn't like being told what to do. He knows what’s best for her. She is fiercely independent but he is determined to save her, whether she likes it or not. Del and Nyssa live two very different lives and that’s the way Nyssa likes it. She is beholden to no one so when Del comes knocking on her door, she sends him on his way with a wink and a sarcastic “yeah, right.” When that doesn’t work, she bolts. She just wants to live her normal life; gambling with fairies (the not-so-nice kind), befriending ghouls and painting the future all over the whitewash. No boy is going to get in the way of that. Excerpt: He snagged her wrist gently before she could flounce away, his fingers warm and firm. “You need to come with me, girl,” he said earnestly. “I don't need to do anything.” She was indignant. She knew that sometimes her kind of abilities could be unruly but Nyssa was quite capable of taking care of herself. She’d lived with her abilities since she was thirteen. She’d learned to handle them herself. “It’s dangerous for you to be on your own,” Del said, tightening his grip on her wrist. She pulled her arm from his grip and he let her go. He could force her to go with him, she knew, but he wouldn’t. “I don’t need your help, Superman.” She didn’t look at him. “I’ll be back in a week,” he said, ignoring her protests. “Be ready to leave with me.” He breezed past her, discarding the necklaces he still held on the desk and leaving. Nyssa sighed, watching his back as he disappeared down the street. “Fat chance, Superman.”
