They throw a Blob at us.
Fleshy, Globulous.
I throw up.
P:”…”
R:”…”
He gets closer to the wall & I.
P:”What’s this?”
R:”I’m trying to determine it.”
The smell…
It’s fresh & well red.
Gorged with bright blood.
But smells like it was born rotten.
This deep smell.
R:”It’s wonderfully organic.”
P:”It’s flesh.”
R:”And it’s full of blood.”
P:”So?”
R:”Do you smell any copper?
Any iron?”
P:”…”
Is it why the smell is so, unusual?
R:”Stay close to it.”
He goes off.
Not too far, but I can’t hear him.
He looks like he’s speaking.
Those people.
They throw this onto us after I got closer to the wall.
Do they think I taunt them?
It’s fresh meat.
But it doesn’t look edible.
…
I can’t be a gift.
R:”Do you want to look around?”
P:”You do?”
R:”I’m asking you.”
P:”We’re moving further.”
R:”Not today.”
P:”?”
R:”Do you need someone before we get back?”
P:”You mean something.”
R:”Excuse me.
It is ‘something’.”
P:”No.”
R:”…”
We get Back to the encampment.
It’s the same type of vehicle.
But it’s not the same vehicle.
Driver either.
I’m thirsty.
P:”We weren’t supposed to return.”
R:”Something unexpected happened.”
P:”What happened?”
R:”I think you had a clear image of it.”
P:”Where is it?”
R:”In a close compartment.”
P:”What is it?”
R:”I don’t much more than you.”
P:”Then you know more.”
R:”…”
P:”…”
R:”You realized.
How organic it was?”
P:”You said that already.
And I didn’t understand the 1st time.”
R:”How dead did it look to you?”
P:”It’s alive?”
R:”I don’t know.
Would it be disturbing?”
P:”It doesn’t look like an animal.
A whole animal.”
R:”Then it mustn’t be.”
We arrive at the encampment.
We wait in a tent.
R:”Cozy?”
P:”It’s… a nickname?”
R:”Don’t you think it’s comfortable?
Almost as fancy as an apartment.”
P:”Everywhere is comfortable.”
He comes closer to me.
Too close.
R:”Is there anything you want?”
P:”What’s up with you?
You’re horny?”
R:”I’m preparing you.”
P:”We’re not doing it.
Even if the door is closed.”
R:”They are going to interrogate you.”
P:”Not you.”
R:”They know they can’t get anything out of me.”
P:”Yes.
I believe that.”
R:”Is there anything you desire?
Anything you are obsessed with?”
P:”…”
R:”This object.
We found it.
It’s all they need to know.”
P:”Why would you-”
R:”I need to speak to her.”
P:”The large one?”
R:”You guessed it.”
