Chapter 6: reForm

Psychosis was a detrimental mental virus in ancient societies.  Often, people who suffered this ungainly affliction were sent to facilities where they would be treated.  The success rate of mental reform varied, but was always very low.  Early treatments included a barbaric practice called "electro-shock therapy", from a time when the ancients knew nothing about how the brain functioned.  Psychotic patients would be fitted with diodes, and then dosed with large voltages of electricity, in hopes that somehow the electricity would magically "shock the crazy out of people."

Satori Plesk was a reForm user from the Asiatic islands.  Her perfectly working mind was reformed by her Connector since childhood.  She was of average height, straight black hair and green eyes. Her neural editing log showed early signs of mental disorder, and her Connector worked almost non-stop from the age of two up until her mid twenties to correct the various nodes of her brain interface.  She was one of the first people to overcome severe mental trauma she suffered at birth.

"Who are you?  What am I looking at?  Where is this?" the young looking man asked out loud to what seemed to be nobody. "You are inside of me, I am inside of you, I am inside of everyone and they are inside of me." said the voice. "What is this, a riddle-game?  Show yourself!" ...

Chapter 4: Start

Start , said the voice. He was enveloped in darkness.  He was nothing.  He then heard the voice say rock .  Immediately a craggy grey-brown rock appeared before him.  The voice then said "water" and a sphere of transparent, pulsating water splashed and played in the space before him next to the rock.  Then the rock grew to cover all he could see until the horizon.  He was as a mite floating above it's surface.  The water sphere, which was now slightly larger than him, began to pour itself out onto the uneven surface of the rock below.  The water flowed endlessly from the sphere and quickly the water began to eat into the surface of the rock.  He floated down to observe the effect. River , said the voice. The water began to flow even harder and faster and the sphere grew larger to hasten the effect the river had on the rock.  The water spread and broke chunks of rock into the river, that now flowed rapidly, further down the face of the ...
