Chapter 2: A Whisper in the Network
The alley wall map pulsed with a dim glow, warping its surroundings and throwing skewed shadows across the rain slick ground. In the center was the word “Nexus,” sweet-talking like a promise or a harbinger. I hesitated, the gravity of what I had seen weighing on my mind. This wasn’t just some glitch, one of those annoying coincidences or a bug buried in the sprawling digital ecosystem of Neo-Aurum. It was deliberate.

Old Enough; Clara's Side
*To read this series from the beginning click here!* I watched as Aunt Pearl's taxicab pulled away from the curb and although I acted as if I was annoyed cousin Jolly was left home with me for the day, deep down I knew he might be needed. Truth is my bark is worse than my bite as they say; I ain't never bit nobody although I could give Jolly a good pinch now and then to calm his jumping bean bee-hind down. Letting Jolly into me and May's secret plans was a big to-do. How was I ever gonna trust his big ole mouth from blabbing away about me breaking the biggest rule ever: that being, never-ever-whatsoever go wandering down to Yonderville where white people dwelled. And second to that, never-ever-whatsoever hang around the train tracks.

The Forgotten Inventor
The small town of Meadowridge lay within the rolling hills, silent and heavy with timber. Behind the old mansion stood a decrepit mansion blackened with mystery and enigma. Elias Grayson was its owner, an isolated inventor who had disappeared decades ago. Anyone said he had gone absolutely mad; others spoke of something extraordinary that he hid. Only a few could dare to approach it, and those who did claimed to hear loud mechanical hums when nobody else could.

Old Enough; Through the Eyes of a Stranger
After kicking off his boots Hank rubbed his calloused feet, despite them being swollen and blistered with open sores he'd come to feel comfortable enough in these parts to catch some shut eye. Perhaps here he would find some time to heal. He tossed his knapsack on the ground, then pushing through dried thicket with one gloved hand, he settled in a shady spot. He was hungry enough to catch a mouse; his mind wandered to the little girl May and her popping by this very place several times with a piece of bread or an apple. He hated himself for wishing her there just cause his stomach ached, he knew darned well kids like her should not be wandering about on their own near the edges of train tracks, much less familiarizing themselves with the likes of homeless, jobless and down on their luck men like himself. He knew he could be trustworthy, however God knows that most train jumpers aren't.

Old Enough
As soon as Pearl's taxi pulled up and her sensible black shoes touched the sidewalk I was ready to head out the back door to meet my best friend Clara, that is until I hear an unfamiliar voice in the front hallway. Curiosity is my worst enemy and by now I should have learned something, but as Clara says, "UH-Parent-LEE not". I peek around the doorway and see Pearl has another woman with her: Is this the mean lady who takes kids from unfit homes? It's gotta be. The word is on the street for sure by now that we are mixing with coloured's, are heathens and I have no rightful Momma. Then my mind jumps into action. Paw-Paw! I best wake him as he is likely to be snoring away in his boxers or worse, naked!
