Elizabeth Jakes The Clone System 20- pt 2
“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
Elizabeth Jakes The Clone System Prologue
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
Elizabeth Jakes The Clone System 3- Former Friends
Confusion on Randall’s facial features because they had just met up on the road and had only acknowledged each other when they had seen the truck coming towards them in the distance. They hadn’t even spoken about taking the truck, it was just instinct to work on getting it together and they’d work in unison, well till now. "What? You're kidding,", the naturally red-haired man scratched his head as he waited for dark browned but bleached-in streaks due to the sun-haired man to say he was just joking. His uneven bitten-off nails, burning slightly at the nubs where his salty sweaty scalp had him dropping his hand, still waiting for the redhead to answer. "No, I'm not kidding. I can't see your face," the other returned, monotone. A slight furrow between his eyebrows now. The man wiped his face more trying to remove the dust. She pointed the gun at him as she muttered, "Water in back. Don't waste." "Gee thanks, lady," the bandana-holding man said, in mocked sarcasm. He mumbled as
Elizabeth Jakes The Clone System 4- And There Was Three
"-between North Korea and Russia. Will America get involved? Citizens, although we are not affected in America, are asked to stay at home during the next three days. We are on standby as we wait for The President's response as we speak. Citizens are making queries as to whether this could be the start of World War three. Russia, India, America and North Korea, among others, are in talks of a nuclear conspiracy. All parties involved have since denied any claims-" Randall woke up sweating, covering his face with his hands in the dimly lit room. The memory of the last normal news he had seen, replayed over and over like an echo inside his mind. He kept hearing the alert in the somewhat scared-looking woman as she read the news out to them. He remembered how frightened she looked. Like she knew what was happening but was told to say something else. Or maybe she was just scared like the rest of them. That cute reporter died on the very same day, which was also the day the riots broke o
Elizabeth Jakes The Clone System Exchanging Horror Stories
It was a bit awkward and strange...them meeting up like this. Coincidental or not, Randall was glad. He was so lonely. Having met Matt hours earlier on the road, he had cautioned him about the new threat but Matt had already known and was in hiding trying to move far away. When they had met up, they’d both been seeking shelter and had spotted the huge building miles away. How wild was it that Matt knew who he was and had assumed he had recognised him as well. It was hard after all, even Matt had changed as well- besides the puberty hitting him late in life, Matt had a roughness to his face just as Liz. Even he too had it. A permanent untrusting expression. They’d been heading to the houses behind the gigantic building when they ‘ran’ into Liz. Then they sought refuge in this house as it was at the far back plot, behind most of the houses in a private lot. This was the only one that looked as if the creatures had not bothered to ramshackle. They both looked at him and then at eac
