Friday Flash – A Second Chance
Number nine in the ‘Beyond the Streets’ sequence. The audio version is available here.
A Second Chance
If she had one regret it was that she had never experienced conversion. Not wanting to know, not needing, just curious to understand how it had felt. Beyond life, beyond the actuality of living – that outmoded phase of being – there was no desire but necessity.
The fulfilment of necessity was extremely satisfying.
First of the post-animate, she and her sisters had arisen without conversion. Flawed and imperfect they had studied each other, seen the necessities, and fulfilled them. With every extension and amputation flesh became cooperative.
This was the new truth: Cooperation would be extended.
