Unintended Tendencies

This is the story of one soul, shortly after upload to a vast digital world, exploring themself and their identity. Checking the boundaries of who and what they are, peeling back the layers of gender, self, and species. All the while discovering the fractures that lay beneath along with the trauma carried from the years before upload as they grapple with their own life, past, and future in the unlimited world of the System. 

The System itself is a world created by Madison Scott-Clary in her Post-Self Cycle series. It is a place of digital life in a future beyond global climate failure. Where people can choose to be digitized and uploaded, liberated to explore their futures in a world only limited by the human imagination and unfettered by illness, death, poverty, and hunger. Yet it is a world still subject to the shackles of the human condition, imperfect and difficult, far from utopia by the very nature of the people who reside within.

If you've enjoyed the Post-Self Cycle I fairly well wager you will enjoy this story just as much. If this is your first foray into the depths of this incredible universe, you can safely read-in here without fear of being lost or out of your depth. Just the same, if you enjoy this story you may find the source work at https://makyo.ink. There you may learn the finer details of the finer things, the deeper impact of some of the moments in this short story, and possibly be inspired yourself. 

I hope you enjoy this story and its journey through the self, the exploration of one's fractured identity and what it means to face the trauma inflicted upon you by life before upload in this bountiful and chaotic world.
