I learned about Seekers when I was very young. Everyone did. A horror story to keep us in line. Stories about a twenty storey high arachnid Titan robot powered by a single tortured human soul. The main character never survived, they were always mercilessly destroyed through a manner of terrifying ways.
That's where DCC got their ideas from. They weren't real, once upon a time.I'm writing this in an alleyway, it's tracking me. I'm not safe anywhere.
Heat, ultraviolet, spectrum, infrared, they have it all, they can see everything.
I'll have to leave quickly.
It'll be on me soon.I keep hearing it's sounds. The deep, sonar-like BING that echoes through the night. And the groaning of metal. It's driving me crazy!
I never see it, just it's red spotlight as it searches for me.
I did some bad things, but this is torture. I never thought that DCC would sent this monstrosity to come and kill me.
Everything is a close call nowadays. I don't know how long I can keep this up. Last night I almost got crushed when it passed over me. It's reaction time is almost identical to mine so we both reacted at the same time, me sprinting under a freeway and it attempting to crush me underfoot.As of now, I am sitting in a shipping container. Which isn't a great place to hide when you are very hot and sweaty from running constantly.
Oh crap! I hear it!
I have to go...♦️ ♦️ ♦️
I'm ok (for now).
I jumped into the bay last minute and hid under the jetty. I have rented a boat so that I can get away from here. Surely they can't move this fast in water. Right?I'm currently on the boat. I am now sweating profusely. No sign of the seeker though. I've charted a course for Pacifico, the island city across the ocean. It is governed by the Nova Corporation so I should be safe there.
On the way I will continue to write as it is the only thing keeping me sane right now.
I still can't see it. This is worrying now.I feel like it is here. I'm in my cabin- wait... NO! I just heard the bing! It's closer than ever now. I better look outside...

Seven years later.
Two deep sea divers are searching for a special artefact but, little do they know, they are at the wrong coordinates.
While diving, one of them spots something. The wreck of a boat. And near it... ...a mangled pile of bones...Authors note:
Seekers will become more prominent in the main trilogy and later on in short stories. They are still in development as to what they can do and what they are like. And make sure to check out my current main novella; The F.O.X. Project! Thanks for reading!TenSee_
