Cascada (Part 8)

The Highest Leader quickly grabs a small orb strapped to her waistband and throws it at Laura. The orb floats just in front of her and she is encased in a glowing green light, completely unable to move.

“Why did you do that?!” Cascada asks, startled by the sudden action.

“Because she creates a problem for us. You see we have been monitoring you via cameras implanted in your eyes so we can see what you see, and from what I’ve seen, I have concluded that Hyja will not make contact with earth. Humans are too dangerous and immature.”

“And you don’t want them to know we exist. But because Laura knows…” Cascada puts the pieces together. “What are you going to do to her? You won’t hurt her will you? Of all the humans I ran into, she has been the kindest.”

“No my Subject, worry not. A simple memory wipe will fix everything. She will forget the last day of her life, but then continue on as normal. Yes she may be a bit confused but it will pass.”

Cascada looks to Laura and then back to the purple haired woman, “Alright Highest Leader,” she says slightly bowing her head.

Next to where she pulled the stun orb from, the Highest Leader grabs a memory wipe device, a long thin crystal held by a metal handle covered in buttons. The Highest Leader runs the device back and forth over Laura’s head while holding down the biggest of the buttons.

“Thank you for your kindness Laura, goodbye,” Cascada says just before the memory wipe finishes.

The Highest Leader pulls the device away then grabs the orb. The stun field is released and Laura drops to the ground passing out as she lands. 

“She will wake up won’t she?”

“Yes Subject, she will. Now let’s go home, there are many rewards waiting for you back on Hyja.”

Cascada is teleported away with The Highest Leader. As much as she wanted to go home the day before, she was sad to be leaving earth, sad that Laura would never remember any of this. It felt wrong to go home and collect these rewards, the anger from being chosen against her will as a test subject was still fresh in her mind. However, she didn’t know what else to do. She did not really want to make a life on earth, Hyja was her home. As mad as she was, she still wanted to go home and get back to her life.


The End

8/26/22 Musical Footsteps

  Musical Footsteps One day as he walked, a musical note began to play. With each step a new note, always complimenting the one before. There was no piano, just his stride, creating a beautiful melody for all to hear. He didn’t know why the music played, but he enjoyed it nonetheless. It sounded so familiar to him, but he could never quite place where he had heard it before. When passersby would ask what song it was, he would simply tell them it was the song from his heart. The song never repeated itself, it was one long continuous melody, the never-ending song. He could never predict what it would be like, everyday was a mystery, one he enjoyed solving. As he walked and found the current rhythm of the song, he would time his footsteps as best he could to make it sound nice. That was all the control he had, tempo. Sometimes he would jump in the air, and as he landed two notes came together as a chord. Continuous jumping, although tiring, made the song even better. At firs...

11/26/22 The Girl in the Horse Painting

  The Girl in the Horse Painting “Oh man have you seen that one painting, the one with the horse, on that blue background.” “Yeah! Oh my gosh that painting is so good. I’m actually looking to get a print of it to hang in my house.” “That would look so good in your living room, or anywhere really.” “I know, it’s such a good painting it could go anywhere really and make the room better!” “Have you ever noticed the girl in the background? I never had until someone pointed it out to me and then I couldn’t stop looking at her.” “There is a girl in the background?” “I know right. I was shocked too, but yeah, there is. When you get that print you’ll have to look for her.” “I guess I will. Wow, that's amazing. I’ve looked at that painting a thousand times and never even noticed the girl. You think the artist intended it to be that way?” “He must have. I’m sure he did it for this very reason, for people to be astounded by the fact they never saw the girl.” “Goes to show ...

4/24/22 Carried by the Breeze

  Carried by the Breeze She stood in the breeze, arms stretched out wide. “Take me away,” she said, and the wind complied with her request. It picked her up off the earth and carried her through the sky and clouds.  Although a wondrous view passed by below her, she just closed her eyes and floated with the wind. The sight could be replicated but this feeling would never be again. She did nothing but float, feeling the breeze run through her hair, trying to capture it in her hands. Hours went by and she enjoyed every moment, but the chill of the sky began to wear into her, she was ready to go down. The wind however had different plans, it was not ready to let her go. Her assumption of being a friend to the wind changed as she realized she was prisoner to it. Struggling against air, she tried to point herself downwards and break free. Her thoughts were not on the fall, only of wanting to be free.  After fighting and struggling as hard as she could, the air became im...
