Embryo (part 12)

Author: Stephen W. Cote

Real minds once real bodies, mere shells now driven with wind

Providence Social's specialty, the na-"god" demanded and extracted his loyalty

Automaton's weeping and grieving, begging for more, evermore

Soulless devils lost and alone, abandoned of their own lore

Embryo observed and listened, ever vigilant as a scarecrow

In their despair and hell, she looked upon them and simply whispered "no"
