I've been interested in writing fiction, so I figured what better place to start than with [flash fiction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_fiction)! I'll try to remember to title and tag them all so its easy to read any of my latest fiction bits :D

## The Cyanogen Pill
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
My glow is fading, heart rate rising. Not much time left by the look of it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I don't recall which tunnel I took to get out here. I really am a _dimwit_! I should have heeded the painted signs and left my mark. And all this for some rusted disk boxes!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I double check my dad's hand-me-down canister -- empty. _Dark vein!_
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The low, rocky ceiling opened up to reveal a large chasm. I scanned in the dim light hoping for the familiar to jump out. Instead, voices. Voices!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I raised my spirits and my pace, racing deftly toward the echoing chatter.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
~~I froze.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Masks, beams, and a massive parked drill cart. Its the darks.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"-- those flickers keep whining about the ore, say its getting harder to get. As if its hiding or something?" one of the darks mocked.
|
||||||
|
I flattened against the shaft walls instinctively. I might burn out in the Maze, but I was not going to get snuffed. Or worse.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Hax, any luck over there?" shouted one, seemed like the leader of the group. Probably looking for more dig sites.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
But this wasn't new dig. In fact, none of this arm of the maze had seen any Delegate work in years. What were Dark out here doing?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Suddenly a beam swept over me. My heart skipped a beat.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
"Yup, found her!", only feet away, a Dark steel suit rounded a corner I hadn't noticed to my right, walking toward the group.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I shivered as the steel stomped past. Somehow they failed to notice me. Guess I thank the Ten for getting covered in dirt earlier.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The suit's massive claws clutched a struggling form -- crying out, softly -- like a fish out of water. It was hard to see her glow with all of the beams on her. But I could have sworn her veins weren't lit.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then, I was seized by the stupidest urge. I watched as a small rock arced toward the suit and plinked off its side.

There was some anxiety as a kid in the calculus of membership of everyone around me. I learned quickly to look for the tells: multiple ear rings, tattoos, swearing, revealing clothes / garment lines under adults clothing, and of course, the lack of brightness in someone's eyes. It felt crucial to determine the activity of someone was a member because it meant Friends houses that weren't
