Thrall Thursday: A Certain Stillness (Patreon)

As the neural scanner first maps and then erases the mind of the newest drone, a certain stillness settles over it. It has lost all need to satisfy its own needs. It hasn't been programmed yet and so lives in a perfect state of pure obedience without direction. It doesn't know it was my wife. Or that its new name is P7. Beautiful, isn't it?
