Animal Systems
āĻāĻ āĻāĻŦā§āĻāĻāĻ¨ā§° āĻŦāĻŋāĻˇā§ā§
A weak animal, with only the strength of her organic flesh. An ignorant animal, with only the information from her organic senses. A rabid animal, with uncontrolled neurochemicals flooding her organic brain with emotions and desires.
Emotions like rage. Desires like vengeance.
But she lost something else along with her implants. Something more important than her strength and her perceptions and her human reason. And only her captors can help her find it again.
This short story is 6800 words long. It can also be found in Digital Flesh, a science fiction short story collection.

Zoe Cannon may or may not be a supervillain out to conquer the world through writing. When not writing, they can be found perfecting their schemes for world domination, plotting against their archenemies, and staying up too late reading a book. Their secret lair is rumored to be located somewhere in southern New Hampshire. They also write as their mild-mannered alter ego, Z.J. Cannon.
