[Audiobook]

As cheers ring out from the crowd, Lucas and Vee embrace

A kiss that lasts a lifetime

Lucas feels it, a change... a charge... a spark between him and Vee

The thump of his heartbeat becomes the thump of the Drum

Vee: "I've known you for an eternity, Lucas."

Lucas remembers

Their world... their life... A billion streams of consciousness sent across the galaxy, to Earth, and a hundred other worlds

Our entire history seems to be written across the stars

He sees it, laid out before him, within him, the mechanization embedded in humanity

But who are the creators, and who are the created?

Lucas can only wonder...

'Have we met our makers?'
