Prophet of the Badlands (The Awakened book 1)
“A dozen metal arms, studded with an assortment of horrible-looking sharp things sat poised to inflict death. The bloodstained implements seemed to look right back at her, like a hungry animal appraising its meal. Cold concrete touched her back. She shivered, wondering how many died there.
The raiders who had kept her ankles handcuffed together for fear she would run had a “doctor” with a similar machine. More than half the time he used it, it tore the patient to bits. While the senile old f...ool had not intended to hurt anyone, watching him laugh at explosions of blood and gore was too much to bear. By her memory, she would have been about eight or nine then. Her own voice echoed in her mind, yelling “go away.” He had gotten up from his desk and walked out. She never saw him again. This metal-armed horror seemed to be in better repair than the one at the raider camp, it had no visible rust, and at least four more arms. Still, such a device had no place attempting to help people.MoreLess
