## Chapter 1 teaser
### CHROME ROT - Chapter 1: Junkyard Reaper

"Don't move, glitch, or I'll peel your skin off with a laser-scalpel," the Hound snarled. He slammed me face-first against a rusted shipping container, the corrugated metal biting into my cheek. I couldn't even breathe. The guy's grip on my neck was reinforced with military-grade chrome—his fingers weren't just strong, they were hydraulic. I could feel the hum of the servos vibrating against my windpipe. "Where is the drive, Wren?" he barked, pressing the edge of a vibrating combat blade into the soft meat of my shoulder. "The Corp doesn't like losing its toys. Give it back, and maybe I'll only take one of your fingers." I spat a glob of blood onto his polished black boot. "Check your pockets, asshole. Maybe you dropped it while you were busy polishing your ego." He laughed, a grating, metallic sound. He tightened his grip, and I felt my larynx groan. "Sassy. I like that. It makes the screaming sound better." I didn't have a drive. I didn't have a weapon. I was just a scrapper from the Rust Belt with a glitchy nervous system and a debt that could buy a small moon. But as my back hit the metal and my lungs started to scream for air, something inside me snapped. Not a bone. Something deeper. A heat started in my marrow, a sickening, electric itch that surged down my arms. "What the hell are you shaking for?" the Hound sneered. He leaned in, his breath smelling like ozone and synthetic mint. "You're terrified. I can feel your heart hammering like a trapped bird." "Not terrified," I wheezed. "Just... hungry." I didn't think. I just reacted. I reached up and grabbed his wrist—the chrome one. The second my skin touched the metal, the itch vanished, replaced by a violent, rushing vacuum. It felt like my veins had turned into straws, sucking the life out of the machine. *Sizzle
