The Soul Continuum (2015)
The Soul Continuum
“But I am certain it must have been alive once. And by the look of its twisted, grotesque form, I believe it must have suffered greatly before its expiration.
I cough and wipe a hand over my mouth and nose to stifle an impulse to gag. “Control, did something go wrong with the transport?”

“Then this . . . thing lived on Castor’s World?”
Yes.
“And this is just one of many?”
Yes.
Pity is not something the real me has felt for a long time. I usually only experience it... when living another’s life, but I feel it now. This poor mummified monstrosity on the transportation disc is little more than the clay trimmed from Nature’s mold, beaten into a mockery of the human form. Naked, much of its skin is split where a mass underneath has burst through in clusters of blackened polyps; the untorn patches are red and glistening with sores or clumps of wiry black hair.MoreLess
