Excerpt: Gods of Old

“Harper squeezed out of the elevator shaft and whistled at what he saw. There were two massive machines in a large space. Pipes, cable, and machinery were everywhere, running from the big machines away into the walls, ceiling, and floor. Arcs of purple energy jumped between the 2 massive technological "things". There was a computer screen ahead in front of the machines. On the ground in from of the computer laying on the floor was the very decayed body of a man. Between the machines, purple energy arcing across and around him was a second man, surprisingly un-decayed and wholly unmoving.”
