“Mother,
MOTHER!” yelled the little girl, whose eyes burned like the stars. She led J.
Adonai into her family’s home, the Stone Palace. The front hall was as large as throne rooms,
inky marble, furniture shaped like spirits, hallucinations of a controlled mad
man.
“What is it
my dear?” Her mother beamed as her daughter caught her reading on the
furniture. “Why does the servant look so disheveled?”
“He is not
a servant, mother. He fell from the stars.” The little girl clutched J. Adonai.
He wondered at the appearance of the mother. The mother seemed to be in her
early twenties, but that was impossible since the child was between eight and
ten. Snowy tresses, warm rounded face, eyes more poignant than her daughters,
she was the idealization of every man’s desire. Her face morphed with fear.
“My dearest
daughter, you must return him from wence he came.”
“Mother, he
came to me!” The mother leaned into J. Adonai.
END MEMORY COLLECTION
All the
wires breaching J. Adonai’s head burned out. Steam rolled off from the infusion
points. A woman and her robot took out the wires one by one.
“I do not
know what happened, memories usually do not stop in the middle.” Doomra faced a
table, both sides full of dignitaries, in front of a display screen where J.
Adonai’s memories once were.
“Thank you
Doomra” Said Ms. Veger, “Please rewrite J. Adonai’s memories and return him to
his post.”
Doomra
wheeled the slack J. Adonai out of the room.
“What
exactly was on the screen Ms. Veger?” Stated a dignitary, long beard sweeping
his cup, on the left side of the table.
“It was the
only part of his memory they forgot to clear. As you can see we got our first
good luck of the inside of one of their palaces. We need to inspect the images
more, but it seems their building materials are not from this dimension.”
“Who were
those people?” Stated a female dignitary, sinking with age, on the right side.
“We believe
they are part of the royal family of that planet. The woman is the Queen of
Stone and her daughter Sapphire. They are from the highest ranking Stone
family, the Stones.”
The room ruptured
into discussion. Much of the discussion surrounded the ridiculousness of the
family names. What family would be named after elements from the dirt? Ms.
Veger ingurged much of their grief. The discussion was turning against her and
much of her theory.
“Ms. Veger,
you are one of our greatest investigators. We have tolerated your theories for
years, but the fact is that we felt you have gone too far. Stones? People from
other dimensions? My planet and the people I represent will not stand with
this!” The bearded dignitary rushed out of the room, followed by two others.
As the door
closed, the elder woman interjected “We believe that these people are just
weirdos on the edge of the universe. Just make sure they are not using illegal
science.”
Mutely
everyone else left the room, Ms. Veger was all alone to look at the floor.
“You
believe me don’t you Doomra?” Ms Veger stood aside from Doomra as she worked on
creating new memories for J. Adonai.
“Not the
craziest idea ever.”
“Then why
will they not accept it?”
“You have
been going on about it for a decade with only a stitch of evidence.” Doomra
held up a disc “This is the most evidence you have ever found and all you may
have discovered is a bunch of weirdos.”
Ms. Veger
watched as Doomra created a boring memory of him falling asleep on the job. A
nice dream about naked women dancing then turning into his mother, something
that he will forever want to forget.
“Then how
do they have the technology to do this? I still say they have abilities that
are beyond our comprehension. They are unlike magic folks.”
“We exiled
all those people to the Magic Planet, they are weak. Maybe all these happenings
are the results of some illegals on the edge of the universe.”
Ms. Veger
slid the disc into her hand, stomping out of Doomra’s laboratory. Sliding out
of the door, she made sure the hallway was empty even though it was late at
night. She rushed to her room down the hallway before she was faced with what
she was avoiding.
“Why do you
always have to stir the shit Veger?” Tonson, a man’s whose arms were larger
than baby’s heads, confronted her.
He's only said one line but I think I love Tonson already...
ReplyDeleteErasing memories. Some secret interplanetary council meeting. Scientific theories on these magic Stone people. I love the sci-fi elements. I want more!
