De Novo (The Gene Thief Series Book 1 - Short Story) - Plot & Excerpts
The hut itself was constructed of bark, trees and leaves. An impressive structure, completely waterproof, and the pelt on the inside made for a nice area rug. Beat the hell out of her apartment back at home. She scanned the surrounding area one last time and found the two bodyguards off in the distance, laughing and eating. The window of opportunity had just presented itself. This was one of those now or never kind of situations. She took a moment to look down and instantly regretted this decision. The sight of the one hundred foot drop induced a complete paralysis. She stared at the ground, frozen in time and space. The world started to spin, and it wasn’t getting any better. She realized she needed to focus, peel her eyes from the ground, and back onto the hut. The vines that she used to get this far were no longer useful. They ran out of slack, and in order to reach the next tree over, she needed to leap. A leap so risky it made her question everything.
