Machine Flower

Synopsis

The children who reside in the Facility don't have names, they have numbers. They don't have parents, they have doctors. They don't have dreams, they have assignments.

And yet, one child among them wonders about the family she was snatched away from, about the name they surely gave her... And she dreams. She dreams about an ordinary life and what's waiting for her on the other side of the wall that imprisons her. Fresh air, freedom... delicious food.

Machine Flower follows 9-01's struggle to claim the human identity that was denied her by the scientists, who see her as nothing more than a weapon to be used in the righteous battle against the villains who would terrorize their nation. But is the selfish need for personal freedom worth sacrificing the safety of millions?

Chapter 02 - Page 00

It’s hard to believe we’re at Chapter 2 already. Time goes by so fast when you’re panicking and slaving over pages every week. Not that I’m complaining.

Chapter 1… in so many ways was a prologue. In fact, in the original novel, most of it was the prologue. Including the past with the present, though, seems more appropriate now. The past gets revisited a lot in this story, trauma that isn’t easily forgotten. Memories shape the lives of these kids.

But Chapter 2, for the most part, is about the present. Everyday life in an unordinary place, meeting the people our heroine has grown up alongside…

I’m honored that you’re reading this. I hope you enjoy what’s coming.
