My snippet this week is from a short story in my Diaspora Worlds Series. The story takes place during Book Five, Cirque du Cyborg, which is the story of Dooley and Cyborg 2ln (Lirielle), who first appear in Alien Blood.

We—the cyborgs—were striking a mining operation on
an asteroid. I can picture a few flashes of light and fields of dark sharp rock.
Those aren’t really memories but undamaged recordings in my memory bank. Then I
was here, aboard Dooley’s ship. That’s
when my real memories start.
I don’t mind that I can’t remember that battle or
other parts of my cyborg life. I do wish I could remember the life I had before
they turned me into a cyborg. But I don’t have those memories back yet, and my
appliances were fitted into my brain more than the other cyborgs. That is
probably why I can’t remember my name or anything about my past. Dooley thinks
the scientists and doctors on New Prague might be able to help, but we are a
very long way from New Prague.

SFR with an emphasis on SF? Sounds very interesting, Melisse.
ReplyDeleteMakes me hope the scientists will be able to help too. I like the character already!
ReplyDeleteGreat hook. And I love the title.
