Awakening
(Short story set in the The Celestial Way ‘Verse.)
Meer, a recently redefined synthmorph, takes the job of a reaper, a compassionate hunter in a world of magic, advanced technology, and ethics.
As the first day in its new profession progresses, Meer contemplates the life choices that have led it to taking others’ lives, even though it abhors violence. Yet its soul feels inexplicably drawn to this time and place, searching for something greater – a mystical event few ever experience.
