Chapter 13 Teaser, #4

She slid between the sheets with a hiss of silk against satin."Lights out," she murmured, and the apartment computer complied,obedient, faithful.Faithful.For years, GENOM has been her creed, her catechism, her god. She had been its good and faithful servant, and had been rewarded with paradise on earth.In the dark, as she drifted into the threshold between wakefulness and sleep, Kate could admit to herself that it was no longer enough.
