Aneeyah was no robot, but she was not like the average person. In prison, she kept to herself. She had been in prison for five years. She had discovered she didn’t lose her cool as much before she first went to prison. Only once did she have a run-in with another female. Aneeyah nearly killed her for making a pass at her. After that, nobody bothered Aneeyah. She got lost in her secret work in her prison cell.

In prison, prisoners were allowed to have the internet. Anneyah made herself a pair of WI-FI shades that almost covered her whole face except her nose, mouth, and forehead. She could see the outside world and every female prisoner in their cells. Aneeyah could choose music from apps and see playlists through her shades. Her shades were a camera, and she could make video calls and phone calls. Aneeyah was a technology genius.

Aneeyah thought, “I’m calm with frequency. It relaxes my mind. I’m in my own private world with no one to bother me.”

Aneeyah’s invention made her want to do more things. She watched Bombylias war crimes that he committed killing gang members in a diverse city. While he was sitting at home watching sports, there were strange noises and interference on his television screen. When Aneeyah appeared, Bombylias sat stunned. She began to speak to him.

Aneeyah: You said you never wanted to see me again bylias? Well you’re seeing me. So what you gonna do?

Then the TV immediately turned off, and Bombylias knew that Aneeyah was tantalizing him. He said, "Hiding in electronics won't save you from my wrath Aneeyah."
