Dead Batteries

by Rey Otis

Selena Rodriguez died. Not for the first time. Now she’s leapt back into something resembling real life after enrolling in a cutting edge clinical research study – one which included installing a radical new artificial heart where her broken one used to reside. “Third times the charm” becomes the mantra of her well-meaning nurses. The Zeus 3000 has given her a second second chance at a normal life after receiving the heart of a young girl – and rejecting it. Finally home – one which Selena inherits after her family is taken from her prematurely – she must navigate closets full of skeletons and a new haunt – since awakening from surgery Selena can hear and see things she has no business hearing or seeing. In this fast-paced Paranormal Sci-Fi mélange, the pharmaceutical giant responsible for her newly found health hides dark secrets, an ancient race and a threat to everything she holds dear.
