The desolate world of white began to fade away like smoke before his eyes. Drifting away like a dream, the pristine horizon cracked like ash and turned tarnished and gray. Particles of this melancholy place float away on some unseen wind. The further William ran in this now disintegrated world, the more the darkness encroached. It was as if this darkness had its breath, its heartbeat as it surged and flowed. Like a wolf chasing its prey in the night. Soon the man found himself running in pitch-black darkness, his legs ached and his chest burned, but he didn't care. He was certain that if he kept going he'd reach the end. He'd find his way back from this nightmare of death. He just couldn't give up.Somewhere in that thick oppressive darkness, the ground began to give way. Crumbing beneath him, William shouted, scrambling to grab for anything, but his hands found no purchase in the nothing before him.He was falling, down, down..... just when he thought there would be no ending to thi

"Eva ..she needs this," Conrad argued with Eva to let Cassie go in and be with William. He couldn't understand why this waiting was necessary. Not while his sister was still suffering. It just seemed so cruel to prolong their separation. He couldn't help but think what it must be like and marvel at his sister's strength.The woman was reluctant as she glanced back over at the monitors. " No, Conrad, I don't think this is the right time for a happy reunion. Please understand, I know you want to help Cassie, but this isn't the time..not yet.""Babe, I get what you're saying but look at her. She has been through hell. That's just a few minutes of hand-holding going to hurt? Will isn't even awake, and who knows if he even will wake up at this point. I know you're nervous about what's happened before, but he's strapped down in there ." Conrad smiled sweetly, turning on the charm and running his hands down the collar of Eva's lab coat. Maybe it was wrong of him to use su

William found himself walking through a hazy field of white. Not just white, it was as if the air itself was smoke—a thick haze without color that swirled and swaddled him like a newborn in a blanket.He knew the ground beneath his feet was snowed by the familiar crunch each of his steps made, but he didn't feel cold at all. He didn't feel anything actually; he was content to just keep walking in this blinding white world where the horizon seemed to blur into non-existence. Yet there was something in the back of his mind that tugged at this unnatural contentment.The tug made him question himself out loud." where am I...what ..was I doing before this ..something..important."He felt like he had forgotten something, something that made his heart ache. He knew he hadn't been to this place before, yet he felt an odd sensation of deja vu. The environment felt welcoming and lonely simultaneously, like the feeling you get when seeing the house you grew up in fil

"Once the basic vital functions are back in place, the next phase begins; different compounds are introduced to the system to stimulate the brain. It's like restarting a computer, the limbic, the cerebellum, and the cerebrum. Once all the compounds have been used, the body's reactions are tested with electrical stimuli.""When can I ..see him?" Cassie asked no, she pleaded; the last image she had of William was him, lying cold as stone on that table in the morgue. She wanted to chase that away; she wanted to see her lover's cocky smile again. To feel safe and sound wrapped in those arms encompassed in that scent of smoke and cologne. She'd never again scold Will for doing anything weird ever again. She'd forgive him for when he got drunk and broke the coffee table when he fell over it.  Even the time he mooned the landlady. All of his pranks seemed so trivial now. She'd tell him she loved him more. She just wanted that chance.Liz looked up at the clock;

The bullet made a light tap in the glass dish as Liz set aside the offending metal slug. To think all of this grief was caused by a little bit of shaped steel. Looking so harmless in the tray of shallow water that was now tinged pink."Bullet removed from left ventricular, time 5:45 am. Subjects will be treated internally with a nano repair injection to the site of entry—estimated repair time estimated at five minutes. The subject's temperature is below decay, and no injury was detected except superficial defensive wounds to the arms and hands. Post-mortem bruising is noticeable, though I would certainly say their visual contrast is based on the subject's completion. No known genetic deformities or medication were in the subject's system at the time of death. " Liz spoke into the recorder, nodding to Travis to go ahead.It was challenging to be so clinical for the recording, but it was necessary to keep things professional. She tried not to look at Williams's face and disconnected her

Massive gates and electronic key card entry points graded them as they made it to the research facility Conrad led the way opening each checkpoint. After the convoy entered the base Conrad broke off from the group, He knew the others would be going to the underground parking which held direct access to the Lab. Conrade didn't want Cassie to be there when they unloaded the body, he didn't think his sister needed to see that.Given everything that had already happened Conrad felt he was doing her kindness. Why would anyone want to see a body bag on a rolling stretcher knowing what was inside said bag, or rather who, she didn't need more of a reminder that the man she loved was dead.When he pulled into the parking space at the far side of the base he looked over, touching his sister's shoulder and giving it a gentle squeeze. " Cassie, we're here, are you ok to get out ?"The little blond didn't answer and Conrad just sighed, he hoped this would work. If this
