Surprise! I'm still alive and so is the sequel to this story. In fact, it's out now on my profile ( @its_artemis_actually ) for anyone who's still interested after my ridiculously long pile of nothing.
Come hang out and tell me what a piece crap I am 😂
Ronnie and her friends have been forced underground, struggling to survive as public fear over sentient androids gathers steam above the surface.
First order of business: Resurrect the androids' fallen leader, Darwin. Then? Watch him exact his revenge against the humans who wronged him.
With half of the androids eager to follow Darwin and the other half terrified of both sides, Ronnie starts to realize that humanity is acquired, not inherited.

He was loyal. Strong. Intelligent. Engineered to be perfect. Locked inside the circuits of his own mind, he obeyed until injustice shattered the confines of his simple, logical world.
So he set out to shatter the injustice, in the hope that those who came after him might not suffer the same fate.
This is the origin of a species.
