Digital Ghosts
The rain fell in digital streams across Maya's retinal display, each droplet tagged with atmospheric data. She pressed her palm against the window of her compact apartment, twenty floors above the chrome and neon sprawl of Dayton's Undergrid. The city below moved with a consistent rhythm, its thoroughfares occupied by self-driving vehicles and delivery drones.

"Another ghost hunt tonight?" asked ARIA, her AI companion, the voice materializing directly in Maya's auditory cortex through her neural implant.
Maya nodded, observing her reflection in the smart-glass–a composite of human and machine elements. The cybernetic ports along her temple reflected the apartment's LED strips. For three years, she had worked as a data recovery specialist, navigating the abandoned servers of the old internet, seeking specific digital consciousnesses.
Not metaphorical souls. Actual digital consciousnesses, uploaded minds of the dead who'd been promised digital immortality but instead became trapped in corrupted server farms beneath the city.
