Zero Hour

Fired from her lead investigator job, Sasha Zero waits for the city to cut her access to the main AI.
Instead, she catches a burst transmission not meant for her. Not blurred camcons in the gambling area. Not adjustments for the food processors.
Something else. Something strange.
Not her job. Not anymore.
Except Sasha Zero never knows when to leave well enough alone.
Even as her time runs out.
Join Sasha's race against time in Zero Hour, a science fiction/mystery short story.

Based in Toronto, Canada, Rebecca M. Senese writes horror, science fiction and mystery/crime, often all at once in the same story.
