15
The part of the compound
that houses the drones has a static feeling to it. It doesn’t
really appear different from the other parts of the compound, but
the areas that have been exposed by the explosions are very plain.
The open rooms I see have beds with grey sheets on them and nothing
else. There are no signs that any of the rooms had decorations or
any other furniture. A few drones are asleep in some of the beds
and I realize that they weren’t relocated.
I find myself getting angry
with Rene again. How could he so unapologetically mistreat the
drones like this? I turn the corner to the open field in the middle
of the drone quarters and I’m blinded by the low sun that is
beginning to turn the sky orange.
When my eyes adjust, I see
a drone standing right in front of me.
