Zero

Zero’s an arrogant, enigmatic, dangerous hacker.

He wants to protect me.

Pity.

He’s too late. I’m a lost cause.

I narrowly escaped death only to now live on a knife’s edge, constantly checking the shadows for monsters.

And I can’t trust him.

He knows far too much about me, and I know nothing about him.

Even still, this inscrutable stranger burrows his way under my skin and into my heart.

With only a look, Zero makes me feel more alive than ever before.

And that’s the problem.

I should be dead.

I’m the aftermath of a tragedy.

Broken.

A victim.

But he calls me a survivor.

He’s wrong.

There’s no way I’ll cheat death twice, not when it’s breathing down my neck.
