Whoa, this is wild. The language experimentation has that thick, tactile energy of A Clockwork Orange, where you have to tune your ear to the rhythm before it clicks. The prose is tense and unsettling in all the right ways. Chilling final paragraph, too.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this piece, Gaby. Feedback like yours makes any writers' day. I do like to make the 'good guys' imperfect and the bad never wholly evil – yin & yang, etc.
This draft scene will be published in an edited form as part of my Consilience Series' novel #2's serialisation, launching October 14th – Ada Lovelace Day!
