#InTransitMonsters is a #firstdraft #novel about Technology as Messiah. Humanity is about to fall, and is forced to create monsters to save itself. Can these giant monsters succeed, or will humanity's old ambitions damn the species to extinction? Previous | Start | Next | Index Charlie (H +4 Days) I gritted my teeth in frustration. My Oneiros wasn't lying to me. No signal from Earth. The dreamspace constructs I'd created kept a constant contact with it. They had nothing to report. Nothing . The frustration came from them not giving me any updates. They lacked the need for complex linguistics, but I knew they felt like they'd failed me. I didn't want them to feel that way. It's alright.

Nasr would get his chance to have the monsters train in the field, albeit in remote, long-abandoned reaches of Africa. He voice crackled over the Circle. "Thanks for asking then." I told him. I sorted through files next to Hecate. The old woman hologram revealed tarot card after tarot card to me. Each was a particular file and research section. I gestured toward one regarding the creation of Miri's Monsters. "Yeah, I figured you were suffering enough keeping things on track there. I can switch with you, if you want a break from it." "It's fine, Martin." Evading Miri for long periods had become somewhat difficult the first day or so. I had devolved to just keeping whatever hours I could away from her. Nasr's comments about Char...
