Thing of Sorrow

Now he knows why they called him Construct-XII, and wishes he’d never gone looking for answers.

The revelation of what he truly is has cost him the only woman who chose him, healed him, and gave his life purpose. Through her eyes, he saw himself as not a thing or a creature. Human.

Seraphina is gone, and he doesn’t blame her. Had she not left, he would’ve chased her away himself. Without her, he cannot live. He searches for a way to end his suffering, but his creator built him from death – built him to last.

Construct-XII is doomed to permanence.
