Story: The Countless One & The Broken Mask
Story by: Gail Nobles ©️2023

Aneeyah broke out of prison fooling the prison guards virtually. They thought she was one place when she was another. It took a while before they realized they were shooting at the outside building and air. By then, Aneeyah was already gone.

When Aneeyah broke out, she did not go to the place where she lived. She went to an earth-sheltered home far out into the suburb of Diverse City. Aneeyah’s dwelling place was quite comfortable. It was her hideout. She had a small dark room where she slept. Aneeyah kept a picture of Bombylias on her wall and studied him through photo and video with artificial intelligence. She came to the conclusion that he was a countless one. Aneeyah studied his character. She figured that Bombylias needed love. That was one problem that he had, but not the only problem.

After Aneeyah had beaten the insect man in the past, she found out about the crush he had on her. Someone from her gang had broken into his house and found pictures of her that he kept in a photo album. Bombylias made it his diary. He had written beautiful things about Aneeyah. She made a copy of his photo diary digitally and mailed the original copy back to him.

When Bombylias received the original copy, there was no address from the sender. When he saw his photo album, he just stared at it without opening it. He knew it was his. Sadly, he took the photo album into the house to put it away.

Aneeyah sat in a car parked far away from the home of Bombylias spying on him. It was her first time seeing him since she first saw him. He appeared to be a little older and handsome. Aneeyah wanted to see Bombylias a little closer.

The next day, Aneeyah watched Bombylias leave his house and his appearance changed. She saw him change into the Bee-fly and followed him. Bombylias went to Aneeyah’s 1st house in Diverse City and watched to see if she would come out on her roof deck. He sensed Aneeyah behind him.

When he turned to look at her, she said to him, “Are you looking for me Bombylias?”

Bombylias grabbed Aneeyah by the throat and held her body in the air and said, “Yes! Leave me alone now!.”

Aneeyah stared into Bombylias eyes choking with her blue WI-FI shades on. She began to speak to his mind with her mind. “I’m sorry Bombylias for what I did to you in the past, but I couldn’t let you hurt my grandmother.”

Then Bombylias began to talk back to Aneeyah in his mind. “I should kill you!”

Aneeyah: No, Bombylias! Forgive me!”

When Aneeyah saw that Bombylias didn’t intend to let go, she got upset and shocked him. He tried to fight against her electrical power. She shocked him again so hard that she cut into his metal mask, and it broke in pieces from his face. Then Bombylias threw Aneeyah to the ground. He didn’t want Aneeyah to see his face. But Aneeyah saw. She saw the bumble bee and the fly in him, and she saw his body break up into many bee-flies and he disappeared.
