Ridley arose before sunrise and logged into his Voyeur.com account. The virtual chat rooms were empty except for a few lone men hiding in corners. Beta was not present. His email account was empty. He ate a bowl of cereal. Alone in the kitchen with Sandy at his feet, he sat before the keyboard pondering what to do. Yesterday’s coffee sat on the counter. He sipped the day-old brew, found it to be bitterly strong, and added spoonful after spoonful of sugar. Ridley stood and stretched. He gulped the coffee down. The wall-screen flickered.

“What now?”

The infinity symbol flashed before his eyes and disappeared.

The feeling of dizziness was one that he remembered from the day his parents had died. He fell to the floor as his body convulsed.

The woman’s voice, the one that always came to him, screamed at him violently. “You must remember. Where you are. When you are. They will control your life if you allow.”

The voice was one that Ridley knew well. She had spoken to him during the Collapse. Hers was not the voice of the Beta, but one that was within him, one that haunted his days. He had known her for years.

How many voices were in his head now?

“Beta is not the one you seek,” she said, “She is not me. You must remember. I control all that you see but not all that you do.”

His vision was blurry. He tried to sit upright but could not. He was not sure if he spoke out loud or in his head. “Riddles. You speak only in riddles.”

Sandy whined and licked his hand but Ridley did not move. He lay motionless on the kitchen floor.
