ILLUSTRATIONS
Amidst all the skaters who hovered
electromagnetically atop the tracks, Kitty was as easy to find as a
rose among nettles
She shrouded the light in her
eyes, but it shone against her will; the android, walking behind,
glowed a regal indigo
“It’s time, it’s time,” he said,
with a meaningful smile; his telescoping oculus zoomed in as he
entered their bedroom
The quick-moving death machines
fanned out, aiming their bomb-hurlers and echo-cannons at one
another
The robots swarmed around him—the
Pitbots, the Glowing Scrubblers, the Extractors; Levin counted
forty-two altogether
“My God!” Vronsky shouted, at last
noticing: “Anna! You are floating!”
“No!” he shrieked, and Anna felt
her body slammed into the ceiling, pressure squeezing upon her
throat
“A girl cannot be wed without the
soothful presence of her Class III,” the prince had
pleaded
Anna emerged in perambulating
togs, her pale and lovely hand holding the handle of her dainty
ladies’-size oxygen tank
Nikolai Dmitrich issued his last
gurgling scream before his head lolled backward at a terrible
angle
Twitching, snarling, their massive
reptilian heads bubbling with eyeballs, the aliens poured into the
opera house
Vronsky chewed on the ends of his
moustache as he barked orders at his mechanical
charges
Knowing the direction this
conversation would take, Android Karenina opened her arms and
patted her lap for Lupo
“I will punish him, and I will
escape from this hateful machine that I have become”
Quietly, invisibly, they would
keep humanity’s flame burning until the Golden Hope could finally
fly free
