flash fiction--mysticSciFi "The Outpost"


Xradio Wave     
     They looked at each other, not as if they didn't exist to one another, but as if existence itself had become their matchmaker. Their focus had been directed at adversarial against the rigors, climate and its incessant changes; the occurance of the other hadn't existed for a long time. A definite feeling, as if to be forced into being someone's personal poet now exists, possibly because of some supreme newfound knowledge via Xradio. 
     Cooper sat waiting for her form to be called back. He muttered something to himself about all the life forms, marine and terrestrial, he had known in his lifetime. His thoughts embraced each other. "You know she is your best hope." He stared into the darkness. Best hope for what? He sought refuge in her viciousness; she could save him from overwhelming commonality.  
     In scientific circles, she was a brilliant outsider but not a foreigner to the gene therapy wars.  Her inner content now has nothing to do with her outer design. She gives him that look from the pitch black; the look of someone who had read their own obituary after being mistakenly reported dead. 
     Yes, millions of years and jungles still retain capacity to enchant and frighten.
     "You'd better go," he said.

flash fiction--mysticSciFi "The Outpost"

The Dream

Suzie awoke to blackness.  She could swear she had a dream.  If that were true, it would have been the first known dream generated by artificial intelligence.  She wasn't sure.  She went back to sleep.  When she woke again in the morning, the stars were still up, but something was out there.  She checked the security scanners.  They reported nothing.  "That's strange," Suzie thought.  Something would show itself soon.  She needed to know sooner than now, but something in her program was making her sweat.  There was nothing in any of the data bases about this.  Suzie noticed it was 4:48 a.m.  That kind of data she always knew.  It was in her archaic program designed in the twentieth century Scantology Interim Consortium (S.I.C.), a group of scientists who pointed out the importance of the ability to recall exact pinpoints of time when important events take place in a lifetime.  Suzie felt she was entering a state she didn't recognize.  She turned on the light and went into the kitchen.  She saw her reflection in the window over the kitchen sink.  The black jungle night outside in contrast to the lighting in the kitchen brought definition to her reflection.  She had no rings around her eyes.  "High grade collagen," she thought.  Suzie began feeling her strength as she looked into the mirror.  "The Station will call at 5 a.m. I'll wait."  She dimmed the lights and noticed a flickering in the blackness now.  There was no sound.
