Elizabeth Jakes The Clone System 18- Stranger and Stranger
“All of them?” Matt whispered wide-eyed and looked around the heavily occupied room as if he could figure out who was who and what. Until Liz hits his hand. “Maybe. Definitely, the men going out. I’m not sure about the doctors, but why would the place be sealed off? What are they hiding?” Liz whispered back and noticed some of the men standing guard inside the large area looking at them- well everyone. They were dressed in regular black t-shirts but brown cargo pants and black combat-looking boots. A different uniform for the security personnel. Literally, everything is military-styled so why different uniforms? “It is strange- only a little bit. C’mon guys, you know even in a normal world, we couldn’t walk freely into any room in the hospital…even in the teacher’s faculty,” Matt tried to reason although he had picked up on the strange vibe. *** They met Lieutenant Sharp just before dinner two days later when he was finished showing off with his gun, to some of the younger k
Elizabeth Jakes The Clone System 19- I'm A What?
Liz stared at the lieutenant then at her two friends, who were rubbing the area where the needle had protruded their skin then at the staff behind her, who met her eyes squarely. “How long have we been-” “Eight years out there,” one of the guys…who knows which one is Silver and who is Mac, interrupted Randall’s question. Liz scoffed and leaned over, in disbelief. She’d been chopping heads off for eight years? “Yes, Ma’am- Liz,” the girl who had offered her the chair said, scratching her face. “Listen I know it can be a shock because you lost count on the outside. Relax it’s fine.” The lost count of months wasn’t the issue- she had lost years. “Yea Liz it’s fine, even I was thinking four, maybe five years,” Randall confessed as he patted her back to comfort her. “Eight is cool.” Eight? It’s more like three for Liz. What…how? She knew she had a memory loss of some sort but five years missing? The blood drained from her face. She tried to track back now- home, teenage pr
Elizabeth Jakes The Clone System 20- Clone- pt 1
She stared at him as the ‘dinner’ alarm went off then and Sharp pushed her away from him, waiting for her feet to steady before saying, “Go eat, I’ll meet you tonight- when your room ‘bunkies’ are asleep.” Nodding absentmindedly, Sharp left her with a warning. “I mean it Elizabeth, eat.” Liz forced her food down for she had lost her appetite, but she wasn’t stupid. She knew she would need her strength for what Sharp was about to tell her. They had gills? Should she tell her friends what they were, now or when she had more information? Tomorrow, she’ll tell them…hopefully she would have processed her being dead by then. This must be a sick joke- or maybe she’s asleep. This is a nightmare- pinching herself proved she was awake when the pain scorched her flesh. Gills? How does that work because she remembers how much she dislikes water with depth. Touching her faded scars- no gills he said. How far did science reach...was that the reason for the apocalypse- science study? A surge

“Marcus Sharp, hmm. Has a nice ring to it. How long was I- ugh- a clone?” “Three years ago, you escaped. On the fifth day. You were Liz-C5. C3 died on day one. She drowned in the dam while attempting to escape. But you got out.” “So, he’s dead?” She reverted to Marcus Min Lee, a deep frown shaping her face. The previous three versions of her being dead sort of caused an acidity build up inside her. “Marcus? Yea. I’m sorry. Oh, he died naturally of course. Peaceful- Liz erm- well, she had cancer and passed before him.” His tone is quiet now. Quieter. “Oh…how sad. His mother then his wife? Why didn’t he make another her then?” It was a cold thing to ask but then again, she isn’t really human is she, Liz thought then. Sharp raised his head to the sky before answering slowly. “I guess he did try but he didn’t want a different person. See, Liz and him grew old together so making a clone version of her would create a different person, not the same Liz he knew.” Yup, that made se
Elizabeth Jakes The Clone System 22- Adapting To New Surroundings
After an unrestful night, and still undecided, Liz held back in telling her friends the truth, a bit. She figured she might ease it in…day by day …perhaps weeks? It took another day to settle that it took three months to create a clone replica and that she’d died and died and died again. Just why had her clones attempted to escape from here really? Is it what Sharp had said- that they’d been confused when awaked with the assault of memories? Was this place friend or foe? The next morning Liv signed up for garden duty because she needed to eat. That’s it…at least until she gathered her bearings and figured out her place here. Who knows maybe they might need her skillset, elsewhere. It was a good tactic done by Bio Lab- ensure everyone works for better production but limit food as it is now the most important thing after survival. Matt and Randall followed her example although they still whined about being out in the field- the wrong field that is, but less. More food has a wa

INSIDE THE SEEMINGLY LAST STANDING FUNCTIONING BUILDING THAT CONTAINS THE LAST OF THE RADIATION-FREE HUMANS: One of the five islands of 'The Nation' after the nuclear war. Las Islas Amerindias Unidas Biomedical Lab Time; 23:55 Year; 2085 A loud annoying-sounding alarm goes off. “Just jury-rigg the darn thing,” the youngest member of the team in Triangle Control Room, folds his arms across his chest as he speaks but a cocky one is never welcomed much, especially when they think they’re smarter than the rest. His teammates, who have been there months and most of them years before him, ignore his boasting as they already know what their job details are. “Check the power output,” the other man, Luke, returned, ignoring him as he instructed the man seated in front of one of the main screens. “Aculator-” “Would someone get this guy to shut the-” another man gritted his teeth. “Shut it, newbie,” the man with the long-plaited hair and pierced left nostril mumbles almost
Elizabeth Jakes The Clone System 1- Elizabeth Jakes
‘I don’t want to die.’ The naked body of the young female tosses around the turbulent waters, falling from the lengthy height, and landing heavily on the water below. She’d been banged against rocks, her head bleeding even before she fell over the waterfall. A small single beep sounds off inside her head at the same time that something brushes up against her left bare calf, briefly. Her body jolts back in fright, but the heavy water slows her movement...thankfully it’s only a log. [System activated] She hears, and she frowns her body is too weak to cry out for help. Instinctively she knows she must scream out for anyone to come to aid her. Even if she did manage to shout how would they hear her over the sounds of the loudly roaring waterfall behind her? ‘I cannot swim,’ she panics not even understanding fully what the words mean but knowing she cannot do so and would die. ‘How did I survive that?’ [Loading.] A display of blue words ran across her closed eyes. [This will take
Elizabeth Jakes The Clone System The Failed Robbery
[Should we stop here, Liz?] the female automated voice said inside her head, but she ignores it instead commanding it to go into sleep mode for the next twenty-four hours. The system she encountered some years back when woke up half-drowned by the side of a deep river. Kia served as a great companion for the past few years especially when she had the rude awakening that the world is post-apocalypse. Zombies? She always figured those were just sci-fi fantasy movies. Liz learned so much from the information she gathered from Kia and the two had a sort of odd friendship since sane humans were low. Hours later three young adults stared at each other untrustingly not even flinching when a loud booming sound was heard in the far-off distance. Three pairs of suspicious-looking eyes and dirt-covered bodies and clothing that had seen better days. Surprisingly all footwear- boots, were in good condition. The female, Liz, which was plainly obvious, and two dust-covered, tired-looking men ju
