The creature’s black baleful eyes stared at me. Instinctively I took a step backwards, scared

My colleague sat in the enclosed glass cubical with a goofy

spines on its back vibrated making a loud tinkling noise.
I knew it was my signal to call when the crystals glowed.
I dialled the number.
The helmet vibrated as I talked and his face contorted like a mime.
His smiling visage signified that the tissue conduction had
worked.

Dear Subroto, Good sci-fi take on the prompt. Really scary. I don't know if I would want to let my colleague out of the glassed (hopefully unbreakable) room. Very good! Nan :)
ReplyDeleteWe could just keep on experimenting on the colleague :-)
DeleteThanks for reading and commenting Nan.
Creepy.

Such a scary vision on what we could put all technology to use for.
ReplyDeleteAnd we are just starting. Thanks for reading and commenting Björn.
DeleteDear Subroto,
ReplyDeleteI hope he didn't dial the wrong number. Kind of creepy. But in a good way.
Shalom,
Rochelle
