Sons of the Crystal Mind (Diamond Roads book 1)
“The visual quality is poor and the content meaningless. The sensurround feels wrong; I seem to boil in my own skin. The only aural input is a series of attempted breaths that fail and fail.
I wake up. Ursula watches me, more concerned than I’ve ever seen her. The horrible memory erupts again and I’m back in the low rent immersive. There is no comforting darkness. Not even sleep can block out what’s happened.
* * Through a haze I see Ursula in a different outfit that doesn’t suit her... or maybe it does. She leans towards me.
“Just rest Charity. Here.”
Ursula takes my hand and pulls me slightly off a bed I don’t remember getting into. She presses my palm against the floor and I feel a drug from the Basis tingle through my system.
“This should help you. Get better. Take all the time you need.”
Dark.
* * “Charity?”MoreLess
