Trauma


Maura woke up screaming at 3:45 this morning, and then fell into a deep coma. Doctors have not (so far) found any measurable damage or determined a cause. Al joined me by her side after she was brought by ambulance to a local hospital, and I intend to stay as long as it takes.

While we waited for a set of tests to be run, the emergency room television displayed breaking news of raids by national extinction response units that apparently targeted companies involved in the global strike on environment-assisting technology (EAT) development and deployment. As of this writing, there has been no official statement or explanation for the raids.

I intend to focus on the here-and-now, and plan to suspend this blog until at least Maura wakes up.

Reality Check


The onset of Maura’s coma coincides with a (purely fictional) trigger in the backstory that Will is currently unaware of. It is expected to last a week, preoccupying him along with ongoing events that he can’t reveal publicly, and keeping him from writing his blog until after she recovers.
