The Last Peaceful Night
Rain was pouring down in the streets of Paris; lighting flashes bathed the streets in a brief white light. The year was 1914, mid-summer night rains were to be expected this late into July, however a curious tingling crept at the edges of his consciousness. A foreboding aura hung in the air like a stubborn stink refusing to leave the nostrils in peace.

The Awakening
The day human beings became extinct was also the day they became immortal. It started like any other. Cathal's alarm went off at exactly 5 am with the newest pop propaganda peace playing at just the right volume. The temperature was perfect, the air quality pure. It’s been almost a week since he left incarceration, but this world still felt strange to him. In a cage he lived for fifteen years and yet this felt more like prison to him than before. At least the bed was comfortable and the shower warm. He heard the shower starting on cue with his thoughts. As he climbed out of bed the room virtually changed to a tranquil forest. The A.I. responding perfectly to his mental requests received by the chip in his wrist. The music changed to sync with the forest. The water was beautiful, now resembling a water fall it was exactly what he thought needed. There under the water he fell within himself. Water disrupted the artificial link between the chip and the network. He clutched the heart-shaped locket around his neck tightly as he closed his eyes. Made of pure gold it was from a time beyond the knowledge of those whom live today. Ancient it was with an exquisite obsidian set into its side. His breath lead him within a world of beauty and free flowing creation, which was devoid of control. A world with iridescent geometric patterns and beings of pure energy manifesting whatever they chose in the air in front of them. They played with the fabric of creation as if it was clay. Shifting their own forms at random will like octopi in the ocean. It was there that he could still see his son. And the wolf, Cathal always found the wolf, the massive canine with fur as black as obsidian was always there. Staring at Cathal with its glowing eyes. Eyes which glowed with the intensity of a raging inferno. The beast starred at him with an aura of both expectation and disappointment. He couldn’t help but get filled with fear whenever he stared into those primal eyes. But there was something familiar about the wolf. Cathal had the feeling that he knew the it. The water stopping sparked him back and he cleared his mind before the A.I. synced again.
