Hardwired

Rain slicks the neon-lit alleyway. A steel plate glints beneath Luke’s temple, syncing with a pulse that’s no longer his own. Corporate medics smile too wide, their implants humming a frequency only the test subjects hear. Like a Carpenter paranoid-tech thriller from the bargain bin, just leaner and less convinced of its own ideas.
