Current Work
Sci-Fi (for lack of a better name)
And she walked into this freaky sci-fi kinda thing but it wasn't sci-fi, it was real, she was
real, this wasn't some imagination book thing gone out of hand, this wasn't a bad made for TV
movie. No this was here, this was her, this was now, this was real. She just about flipped out. I
mean, plants couldn't grow like that, could they? Not into walls and tents and houses, no. This
must be a bad dream, a nightmare she reasoned. Either that or a science experiment gone
terribly wrong. What was she doing here again? How did she get here? It seemed so long ago
she could barely remember even how she had gotten to this surreal place, a world made of
plants. She had to remember, she had to get out, go home, away from all of this. Just like a
memory you can't quite grasp she couldn't remember, which only upset her more. And a figure,
human, walked towards her, emerged from the encompasing green, there was something calming
about him, making her sleepy. No, she was too upset to let any more of this magic work on her,
she fought, physically now, lashing out at nothing, loosing a mental battle. She collapsed and
the man knelt down to see if she was all right and when he was sure that she was he had some
aids take her and put her in this personal quarters. He would care for her personally.
"Of course your mind must be filled with a thousand questions. Now don't be confused.
I understand how you feel. I was in your position once too, a long, long time ago." Said the man
who Julie assumed to be the mastermind behind this whole operation.
"Now don't try to speak," he reassured her as she struggled against her restraints. "You
will be able to when the time is right."
When the time is right, when the time is right she screamed in her mind as her voice
failed her. When the time is right is all I have been hearing for the past month, for my whole
entire life. Don't worry Julie, when the time is right. The time is now. She screamed at herself,
in her mind. She wanted out of this torture, she didn't care how, she just wanted out
NOW!
"Julie have you not learned" Dr Larosh sighed as he injected her with the calming
medication once again and she fell limp and lifeless under his power. Her sleep saved her from
her self torment for now.
"I'm afraid the adaptation trials are not working." Muzmald, Dr Larosh's superior spoke
to the group of scientists involved with Julie's adaptation.
"Muzmald, sir, if I may," Dr Larosh spoke now. "This one, Julie, is strong minded.
Which may I remind you, is why we became so attracted to her in the first place. We have
learned from our mistakes, meak is not what is needed. If you may, give her another few days.
That's all I ask. If after then she does not comply then we will dispose of her. Just a few more
days."
Muzmald sighed. "Larosh, if I did not value your opinion so highly I would say you were
waisting your time on this girl. I still think you are. But I respect you and will grant you exactly
three more days. No more."
"I understand," Dr Larosh firmly said. "Thank-you kindly, and if you will excuse me, I
have much work and must rush off." Barely waiting for a reply from his superior the Dr rushed
off, back to the girl he had just layed is reputation on.

"Now you must wonder why we brought you here." Spoke the strange white cloaked
scientist.
"Ummm, yes." The girl mockingly said.
The doctor just rolled his eyes. How little the girl knew. "We brought you here because
you are different."
The girl looked puzzled.
"Not just different in the ordinary way, nay, you are truely unique, in ever sense of the
word."
The girl gave him a dissapproving look. She wondered why he was bothering to tell her
this. Why did he just not kill her now, get it over with, and quit torturing her. Was this his little
kick. Did he enjoying making helpless victoms believe he was their superior, just so he could
manipulate them, rape them. She had always been wary of men. Now she realized why.
The man had a sense of what she was thinking, he knew her so well. "Do you realize we
have been watching you?" He asked. "Oh yes, we have been watching you every second of ever
day since you moved in here, to this university. Ahhh but we watched you even before that.
You are different remember. We have known that ever since the day you were born. How well
you would grow to fit our needs we did not know. That's why we have been watching
you."
At this the girl looked shocked. Well one thing for sure. She now knew why she had felt
creepy ever since she moved into residence at this unviersity. She still didn't believe the load of
bull he was giving her about the being different. The only reason she was different was because
she had a creep like him following her around all the time.
"You still don't believe me. You are making my job very difficult, why don't you just
accept what I say," he asked almost exasperatedly.
Time passed and they just stared at each other for awhile, each discussed with the other.
Who knows how long the staring match would have continued if it was not for the beeper on the
doctor's belt. At it's tone he ran off, leaving the girl alone, undrugged this time.
This was her chance and she knew it. She had to find a way to release these restraints.
She did not even know where to begin. They were unlike anything she had ever seen before,
even in sci-fi stuff. The whole thing was unreal, the room she was held in, and every room she
had seen so far in this surreal complex. She did not know how her intuition brought her around
but within minutes she had freed herself from her restraints, yet she could not remember how.
Now to open the door, which of course would be locked. But upon twisting the handle, she
found it was not. "It's a trap" she said out loud, surprising herself at the fact that her voice had
come back to her. "Of course" she said as she realized it was the restraints that magically held
her voice as captive as her body. She bolted out into the hall stopping quickly, realizing it was a
trap. "It must be" she rationed with herself, why else would the door be left open. She was so
pleased with gaining the use of her voice once again, she forgot the danger her words brought.
Well, she forgot the danger until it brought the guard. Or at least what she supposed was the
guard. A half robot, half rabbit came as if on parol down the hall as she piered around the
corner. She didn't know if this creature was dangerous or not, but something she sensed told her
to be afraid.
She lay still behind the door, her heart pounding. She was her own worst enemy now.
To go, try to escape and risk walking straight into a trap, or to stay and wait like an animal
waiting to ambush a prey. But wait how long? Suddenly she had felt a pain of hunger. She
realized she had not eaten in what felt like days. It may have been days but in this underground
biosphere she had no sense of time and could not tell how much time had actually passed. Her
hunger drew her out of her hiding place. She creeped along the hallway, seeing nothing but
green, surrounded in green. She watched out for the cyborg rabbit again.
As she creeped on and on she became more and more afraid, the rabbit could be hiding
anywhere, there were a thousand hiding spots among the vines which constructed the walls of
the hall in the compound she was trapped. At any time one could leap out. "What was that" she
mistakedly let herself say aloud. She remembered that before her voice had drawn the rabbit.
She panicked and fled to the office type room whence she had come.
As she entered the room she slammed the door behind her. Heart pounding. What to do?
Venture out into the unknown? Or wait to be captured here? The young university student was
faced with a delema.
