Hope everyone enjoys it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “So this is the last one?”
The older man sighed “Yea they did a number alright, but you’re giving them too
much credit. A good chunk of them killed themselves doing all that, most of
them are dumber than a sack of hammers. The best of them seem to be about as
smart as a dog, I doubt there going to be escaping anytime soon. “ They approached a thick metal door from the
look of it was seldom used. The young man slid his hand along a control panel
to the side hitting a button with a whoosh the door slid open reveling a small
dimly lit room with another thick door across the way. Inside was the most
peculiar sight dozens of small creatures ranging from the size of a ping pong
ball to that of a basketball filled the room. Many of them turned to door
making strange yuing sounds in confusion, others began to cry and hide, while some
of the larger ones puffed up themselves. They had a rather uncanny appearance
to humans. Like a caricature or an abstraction of a human head. The creatures
varied in appearance, some had slug like bodies others retained a more ball
like shape.They all had hair or what appeared to be hair, in a variety of
colours from shades of brown and blonde to a more exotic purple. A unique feature
they all possessed was what appeared at first glance to be a hat or some kind
of accessory atop their bodies. Upon closer examination they were actually
shells, or sensory organs. Some even had what appeared to be plant stalks
growing out from above their eyes, hanging from these stalks appeared to be miniature
versions of themselves. The creatures yued and trilled amongst themselves.
Crawling or bouncing around the room, some towards the doorway. “Jesus Christ, I didn’t realize there was so
many” said the younger man. “Yea well we won’t have to deal with them much
longer said his partner as he opened the bag and dumped the contents into the
room. A basketball sized creature with blonde hair and a black conical shell
fell out into the middle of the others. It quickly righted its self and began
babble angrily at the two men. The older man rolled his eyes and pressed a
button on the console the doors snapped shut in the creatures face. The main lights in the room switched off as the creature’s yued in confusion a dim red light filled the room. The sounds of machinery could be heard as they clanked to life. Many of the creatures began to hop about in the dim light stumbling over each other throwing themselves at the door the men appeared through and crying in confusion. The clanking of the machines ceased and was replaced with sound of hydraulics as the doorway behind the creatures slowly opened. A hissing sound could be heard which quickly grew into a roar. A great wind grabbed hold of creatures before they had time to even make a sound and tossed them back through the doorway. The few farthest from the door fought against the wind for a moment before it snatched them too pulling them out into the abyss. The room was silent once more. “AIRLOCK PURGED” a voice announced through the console. The older man operated the console and the sounds of machines returned. “We’ll I’m glad that’s over with, the airlock will be repressurized in a minute or so. Let’s get back up maintenance, a lot of work ahead of us” said the older man. The younger man shrugged “Well at least were getting paid over time.” |
