Dark Eden
“In that way, the cures were like a video game. I played mostly old games—Berzerk, Donkey Kong, stuff like that—but once in a while I’d wander into Keith’s room. He had an Xbox, but I called it his Death-box. If I hadn’t been in there for a while, say a couple of weeks, I’d find myself stunned by the blood and the guns, the ridiculous body count in the games he plays. Funny thing, though. If I hung around for a few minutes, it started to bother me less. A half hour later, if I was still in the r...oom, I wouldn’t care anymore. The blood and the bodies were meaningless.
When I saw Ben Dugan get cured, I felt real pain, as if a person had been snuffed out of existence. And I was afraid. If Ben was dead, I could be next, and I wasn’t ready to be dead. Plus, whatever he’d gone through had looked painful and terrifying.
With Kate, I knew the truth. She’d been scared, but not literally to death. Knowing this took the sting out of the proceedings and, frankly, not in a good way.MoreLess
