Tease IV

     Another tease from What We Become, this one featuring a rather one-sided conversation between the antagonist of the story and a silent Mal.

     "Minds are tools and I use those tools . . . to shape the world.  But you already know how minds affect the world, don't you, boy?"
     Yes.  Mal knew that.
     A moment passed as the monster breathed.
     "There is a mind out in the city.  It is more powerful than any mind before.  I want it."
