Woke up in a strange place


He woke alone. Not alone. A hand touched his cheek: long fingers, sharp nails.

"AndrAIa?"

"I'm here, Enzo," she called. "Do not be afraid. You are safe now."

He rolled his tongue in his mouth. His right eye burned. The world was thin and flat, riddled with weird shadows.

"Dot," he said. "Where's Dot?"

"She is not here," said AndrAIa. "But I am. I will protect you."

Her hand was chill against skin rendered fever-hot. He closed his eyes.

Her voice washed over him.

"You are very sick, Enzo. You must sleep."

He said, "Where--"

"Sleep," she said.

He slept.
