Machine Man (serial)

The high-pitched whine that came from deep inside Lola’s chest could have been her singing. The electric wind that blew through me could have been her breath. The darkness that followed, it felt like her embrace.

So, to avoid being killed by Better Future, Charlie gets killed by Lola? Perhaps I'm missing something here...

I reckon this entire novel has been about that one last line. Brilliant.

I'm glad that Aussies don't celebrate Thanksgiving (and if they do.... I'm guessing it's not at the same time of year as in the US)..... otherwise, that'd just be a shitty end to a shitty day.....
