A Crack in the Sky (2010)
“No matter what Spider thought of him, he was still a Papadopoulos.
How long had he been in this place? A few days? A month? He wasn’t sure anymore. The powerful spheres seemed to warp time, and every day felt more or less the same. The manual labor never ended, and most of his waking hours were spent fighting the CloudNet. As Tabitha had suggested, he’d been finding real things to focus his mind on, but keeping alert here was a lot harder than living in the dream haze.
In a way, he almost wishe...d she had left him there.
Every now and then the spheres gave updates about Grandfather. He was getting weaker by the day and wasn’t expected to live much longer. Huge crowds were gathered in domes all across the country.

It wasn’t simply some sad, historic moment to him. This was Grandfather.
He kept trying to imagine why Mother, Father, and Sebastian hadn’t come for him.MoreLess
