Blink Time: Anthology
The first is a short story set in a far off future of mankind. Then follow many other short stories revolving around fantasy and science fiction.
In Death Isle there is a trigger warning for sexual assault. It tells briefly in less than a full page.
Blink
People upgrade themselves to include timers of their death on the inside of their eye lids. Society promises a painless death, no matter what the situation may be. But one finds out that all that she knew has been layered lies.
Without a witness, One cannot warn others of the truth. Death is painful and there is no mercy.
“When you plan with Go Easy, you shall not fear death!” The company's slogan rambles through my sluggish mind.
Blink. 002.30.
Time is getting smaller just as I lose feeling in my extremities.
The pain is quickly intertwined with an influx of fear.
A raging horror that the bots that service the windmills surrounding me, my final resting place, will find me before my precious few minutes of life run out.
Machines created for the sole purpose of keeping these fields of skeletons free from any type of clutter. Am I the only clutter to be seen?
My eyes scan the area I lie in. I’m surrounded by endless rows of wind producing white skeletons continuously waving their arms.
Terror, bright, white, races through my altered bloodstream. Why haven't the stupid Nanos eased me on to the next world? Why am I suffering when I've been promised an easy release?
Blink. 001:59.
Other short stories included Death Isle, Compound, Prince's Choice, The Bomb, The Program Echo 926, Breeders, Taken
