Eight
Minutes, Thirty-Two Seconds
by
Peter Adam Salomon
Genre:
YA SciFi Thriller
Over
eight billion people died when the world ended.
Two
survived.
L
and M don’t know why they’re alive. They don’t remember what
happened. Addicted to a drug that kills them for eight minutes and
thirty-two seconds, they risk the end of humanity in order to learn
the truth.
L
had forgotten how many times she’d died.
Once
more. Her repeated promise to M: just one more death.
L’s
fingers shook where they rested on his arm, trying to pull the
injector closer to the port in her forearm, waiting for her fix.
M
pressed the plunger.
For
a moment, she wanted to curse him for injecting her, for reminding
her that, after she died, she’d forget her empty promises of never
dying again.
He’d
heard it all before. He’d hear it the next time he killed her. And
the next.
But
that moment was fatally brief as the heat reached her heart and fire
tore through her with the finality of flatlining.
***
The
first seconds after dying were a vertigo death spiral, when the brain
shuts down amid the inescapable sound of the last beat of her heart.
Then,
memory returns. She’d died before. She’d die again. On purpose.
Death
had a reason.
