the world has gone so very quiet
i can finally hear myself think
Transcript
1: A computer screen with the countdown at zero. The chamber’s control text displays: “Radiation noise cancellation: 93.35%”
2: Sedjet holds his hand out.
Sedjet: It’s… it’s so quiet…
3: We see his face, an intrigued and concentrating expression.
Sedjet: Didn’t know… how loud it all was…
4: His hand flinches and twists, distorting slightly as his joints crack.
Sedjet: I can… feel it…
5: It twists more, stretching: fur starting to pull apart, fingers starting to liquefy into the black mass and lose structure.
6: Sedjet’s expression is strained, tearing up, as he stares at his hand. It’s not really a hand at this point: with none of the radiation to keep his body in check and, realizing what he is, he wills his arm to contort and stretch into a dark tentacle.
Sedjet: I can… hear it…
Well what do know…
I guess it wasn’t the water after all.
Well, your idea about what happens to these human-types, might still be right.
If you read the Lovecraft [fiction] stories, or play the Call of Cthulhu [R] role playing game, the
Lovecraft-ian earth/universe works like this, I think:
horrible, outer space monsters put all life on the earth…or left the biotic materials that became
human-type life, on the earth.
All of these life forms have hidden, or sometimes not so hidden…tainted/evil flesh in them.
Maybe Julia + Sedjet, + all other [OOTB Dog] people, are regular people, until outside effects
turn people into their tainted forms…outside effects, like [tainted] water from another planet,
or high-tech chambers that take away people’s [Shankarian?] radiation.
Sorry about the long post. That was a complicated idea to try to write out.
Unless this sequence is a dream, and not actually happening.
Oh boy
Well we’re screwed now (once the “smart people” start taking stupid risks, it’s over)!!
