Gatc'hh'en's Rite

By John Talisker

Part machine, part living being, Gatc'hh'en is half mad with loneliness and despair. He is no more than a machine, built by his mother, programmed by his father, completely adaptable to any environment he might stumble into short of the heart of a star or the belly of a black hole. He has been carefully and exquisitely designed. He can shift into anything he wishes to be including a human being, and then if need be back to his natural form, a carbon-beryllium sphere a meter in diameter driven by an anti-matter heart and a computer for a mind. He learns about life, and learns of death, and nearly 800 years into his Rite of Passage on Earth the woman he has loved has tragically died. He wants her back. It seems the only way. He settles on Emily, a young woman on death's door. He cures her fatal disease and begins the inexorable process of changing her into the lover he remembers. It doesn't work out, at least not in the way he had expected. Nothing, in fact, has gone the way he had hoped. Checkout jdreid1p0.com for more.
