The Steel Mind

"I wasn't made for this world. It can't handle me."

"Don't say that. You are everything to me, and the world wouldn't be the same without you. Why can't you just let me in?"

I took a deep breath, the air catching in my struggling lungs.

"I can't let you in. If I do, I'm afraid you'll end up seeing me the way I see myself."

Sometimes the worst place you can be is inside your own head, and no one knows that better than Avis Greer.

The Order controls the world, but they can't seem to get control of Avis. They know this, and they want her dead for it. They know she's dangerous, but they don't know that she could destroy them in seconds if she tried. Her abilities are far beyond human comprehension, and for this reason, The Order can't except her. They fear what they can't understand.

Avis knows she's different, but the truth was nothing she could've ever imagined.

Truth hurts, but in her instance, truth kills.
