Chapter Twenty-Nine

House Cats

Zack didn’t know where he was.

At first, he’d been drowning in darkness and now bright white light. Had the Janitor got hold of him again? Had he died? He barely remembered what had led up to this point.

All he knew was—he wasn’t in the Underworld.

A voice suddenly spoke from the white. “I will meet you on the other side.”

“Other side?” Zack spoke before he could stop himself.

All at once, the bright white light was gone and he found himself high in the air near the edge of a vast city. Not any city.

The City.

His real world home. The giant glass tower at its center gave it away instantly.

Without his say so, Zack’s body swam through the air like he was underwater. He still wore his armor and his shield was strapped to his arm. He might not be in the Underworld, but he was still in the game.

But why was he now being shown the real world?

As he neared the ruined edges of the city, he saw the shimmering wall of the shield protecting the people from the weapons of the old world that had poisoned the rest of the world. He passed through the shield and felt nothing but a slight warmth.

Now he flew over the shattered ruins at the edges of the City and over rubble filled streets. No one lived out there anymore and hadn’t done since the fall of the old world. There was no need to, not with so few people left and with most of the population crammed into unit blocks or the larger estates inside the rich part of the city.

On the far side of the ruins he finally saw signs of life. Cyborg cops and autonomous robotic defense units manning the edges of the inhabited parts of the City.

Then Zack was flying over the large gray and brown unit blocks that most of the population now lived in. Somewhere below him was his own living unit and his mother’s. As he’d never seen the City from above before, it was hard to know what zone he was flying over. Zone five? Zone six?

It all looked much the same from up there. Bleak, half ruined and soul crushingly depressive.

Even before the end of the old world, the unit blocks would have been terrible to live in. Planned housing for the minimum wage workers who’d kept the City clean and working properly, men and women who’d lived in the background, unnoticed by the rich and powerful.

The people who saw themselves as the global elite.

As Zack passed over the units, he began to see movement in the streets. His body swam closer until it was just above the height of the nearest roof.

There were dozens of people below him going about what little business they had that took them out of their homes and out of their games. The games were the only good thing many had in their lives, their only escape from the soul crushing real world.

Zack knew that existence all too well.
