Days passed.

The simulations grew more aggressive.

Daisy parsed through them, trying to ease her battered mind, but every single one was another blow.

What am I looking for? she wanted to ask the robots. What do you want me to find?

Because that had to be it, right? There had to be a reason why she was drawn to the simulations even after hours.

Answers? Perhaps.

Then she saw the flash of something.

A face.

A familiar face.

She frowned and scaled back.

It was a boy with dark eyes and dark hair.

She knew his name.

James Dean.

This series is inspired by 1989 (Taylor’s Version) in a city on the brink of dystopian musings. Each story is 100 words, a snapshot of a larger narrative at play.
