Invisible Viewpoint

My name is Xena daughter of research scientists Xaviera and Zane Mars. My story began on January 22, 2500, on the eve of celebrating my ancestors birthdays who lived over 300 years ago.She founded the scientific and spiritual center during the Second Dark of Science and Faith.I inherited the mantle of preserving the legacy of my people. In my world ,only  women  possess  leadership  positions while  men  perform their duties as protectors of the female line of descent

On my 25th birthday I graduated from Time Travel and Science Research Academy.Women who show an interest  or natural ability for human invisibility must take a psychological and mental assessment of their body’s ability to handle the rigors of traveling through time and space before they can enter the Academy.

Each woman’s gifts mature at  different levels  of her developmental stage of life. Women who exhibit early signs of her ability are not  regarded  as superior to her  female peers who  mature late. Diversity  represents a key element of the educational sectors and community of my society.

I took my first assessment at 20 years of age which put me on the  borderline  of the late- blooming class.During the testing stage,I felt  nervous when  the tester introduced  an foreign substance like chloroform in my bloodstream. After exposure, my hands  started shaking triggering an  edgy nerve response. Luckily, the first side effects were temporary.

I noticed a sudden change in my sense of smell that disappeared out of nowhere.I begin panicking touching my  nose to check if I still have one. I felt only air where my nose was supposed to be .I raced  to the bathroom where there is a full-length mirror.I saw my reflection in the mirror slowly disappeared.

“Oh ,no this is not happening  where is my nose and sense of smell?” I screamed at the golden full-length mirror. My mind envisioned the worst scenarios of losing my existence to this world. My thoughts wandered into the darkness realm of the human psyche triggering the rise of my anxiety to the highest level.

Even though I possessed  the awareness of  the possibility of  gaining the ability of invisibility and traveling through time.

I had an adverse reaction due to little preparation.My father’s early death prevented training and my mother’s fear prompted her not to seek another  replacement.In my culture the fathers trained their daughters in the ways of traveling through time while mothers  prepared them before they reached puberty.

XENA,S TRAVEL THROUGH TIME

I eventually adjusted to my  new power of invisibility that manifested at 20 years old which is rare.The mutation gene I inherited from my paternal  side of  my family caused a late bloomer response

My Robotic Housekeeper

Natasha’s alarm went off at Natasha from her beautiful slumber.

“Wake up! Sleepyhead” cried out the voice of the alarm clock.

“What the hell?”Natasha said out loud and cursed under her breath.”You stupid clock!Natasha  screamed at it.

“Mistress Natasha,”I can hear you do not need to cry in front of me.”

“You dare back talk to me you’re  just a relic.”

She throws the sentient alarm clock across the bedroom forgetting it is not the average watch but a living being. Feeling ashamed of her angry outburst,Natasha gently picks up but Clock 2200 ,but he stings her.

“Bad mistress!”That is what you got for throwing me across the room.””Luckily,my alarm clock body  is free  from damage,or you will  have to find other electronic items to store my  essence.

Natasha felt herself  amused by having an alien residing in her home,but sometimes found Clock 2200  a nuisance at times. She remembers meeting the strange entity years ago when she bought her cottage in the countryside on November 8,2300A.D.She was first drawn to the vintage style alarm, because, it has not been made commercially since 2200A.D.The clock seems alive to her.

Lately, Natasha thought about adding a Robotic Housekeeper for home due to her  getting a new job .She did not have to be at work until 9:00am, so that is why she lashed out angrily at Clock2200.

The sentient alien being known as Clock 2200 calmed itself down and apologized singing loudly to his mistress.

“You have to prepare your submission of your article to the Robotic Companion Magazine by today at noon.”You are running out of time”

“I do not want you to miss your opportunity to win the ultimate prize.A Robotic Housekeeper of your own.”

“Clock 2200,”I have a better chance of winning a trip to Mars than getting the Grand Prize “Why do I want a Robotic Housekeeper contest?”

“Mistress,”Do not sell  yourself short on your writing ability.””It saddens me when you degrade your talent.”

Untouched Land

I  enlisted  the U.S Armed Forces to help in  the battle against the armies of Mars  Corporation that oppressed their Earth neighbors.My name is Captain Mason Evers ,in  the  sixth year of the war I found myself trapped with my enemy on an untouched land

I heard stories from my grandfather who is a  archelogist about a pristine land where no humans ever inhabited. He told me that explorers visit the place but never return including creatures extinct for centuries.I thought my  grandfather lost his mind.

When I first saw a brontosaurus,I mentally dismissed it as hallucinations, however,my Martian military enemy saw the same thing. I have  a  secret respect for my adversary , ,because he has a reputation of honesty and has a sound mind.

The adolescent brontosaurus approached us cautiously without any signs of malice  exhibiting kneen intelligence.

I felt fear and excitement at the same time seeing a living dinosaur  long extinct.

One afternoon after the new year , Kyle receives a mysterious mirror with no reflection that puzzles him prompting him to examine it . 

Suddenly, he traveled 24 hours in the future to discover that he was in a  downtown bookstore. Out of curiosity,Kyle explored his new  location  feeling at an unexplained connection to it. He felt compelled to go  upstairs where he  found the mirror beside the red velvet chair. Kyle senses another presence in the bookstore with him prompting him to touch it.He returns to his shop 24 hours later.

“Where , am I at thinking to himself?” Kyle in his  confused state lost his ability  to hear his colleague Cynthia calling his name. He recognized her ,but she seems  physically  distant to him.

“Kyle! “What is the matter with you? Cynthia asked  in  a  concerned tone of voice. “You missed a full day of work”.”Where have you been”

“I have been at Strange and The Unusual all day.”said Kyle unwilling to reveal his time -travel adventure.

“I did not see you “”I  worked at a shop  from 10:00am to 7:00pm.” I tried to text and call you about the a strange occurrence surrounding the mirror.”

“What happened?” “Anything out of the ordinary”? saidKyle

“At 2:00pm,One of our regulars visited the store ; asked if we had a  mirror made before the twentieth century.””I showed him  a gold frame  with no reflection.”‘I thought his request felt odd because he normally buys collectibles and shows no interest in mirrors.”

“Maybe your customer’s interests changes

Beam of Light

My name is Leticia Niver ,I live in a  landlocked town called Lightlake. Every Night since Resurrection Sunday ,I encountered a beam of light that passes my window lighting up in a dark room.  I called the local   independent energy company to check out  my home for any sight of intruders. A middle -age gentleman introduced himself  as Hosea  who arrived  with two assistants with him. Hosea the leader came the next day at  sundown to observe the light beam. He advised  the gentleman to conduct an energy experiment and examine any signs of forced entry.

“Miss Niver , we encountered no intruders at your residence during the light show.”We measure the beam of light discovered  it came from  a distant lighthouse”.

“How is it possible, our town is landlocked without any large body of water?.” Lightllakes havecreeks and small rivers.

Miss Niver”I think it is a natural amornality,or a freak of nature.

Nanotech World

In the year of Our Lord January 23, 3026, humanity gained biological immortality with the use of nanotech. Dr.Renee Smiths using nanomedicine developed the cure  for cancer  one of the world’s most deadly killers. She invented the method of injecting nanomaterial into infants at birth until  preschool age of three years.She also eradicated childhood diseases such as measles, chicken pox, mumps etc.People stopped dying of infectious illness and cancer for several centuries.

Humanity started to colonize the Milky Way solar system and terra forming all  eight planets including dwarf one of Pluto. Dr..Renee Smiths is considered the oldest living human. Her contemporaries utilize nanotech for alternative energy of Solar. Dr.Smiths is currently  three hundred years old without any age-related illness or mental disabilities.

The Vintage Carousel

A full moon descends on Earth triggering a mysterious event at the local city park involving a vintage carousel.I  worked as a caretaker where I witnessed  carousel activating without any human interference.

Out of curiosity,I decided to investigate if there  was a  mechanism that a person can operate by remote control. I  approach the  vintage carousel taking photos of it with a scientific grade camera. Then observe the activities surrounding the carousel , but I saw no signs of human visitation of the area. 

An extra horse suddenly appears that no one saw before. The carousel comes alive as if it gained sentience. The mysterious horse senses my presence and smiles at me.

The horse on the carousel speaks to me  in a audible voice  revealing  knowledge about me that no one but my immediate family members.

“My name is Lacy, you rode on me when you were six -year old”said the horse.

“That is impossible for you to speak, because, you are not a living being” “You are made of plastic, steel, and wooden!

Lacy, the horse grows defensive changing her tone from friendly to angry.”How dare you suggest ,I am a non-living thing!”

The Vintage Carousel decreased its velocity and put on some soothing music to calm down Lacy “.Xaxier met no harm .”He has no idea about our creation  by Dr.Jonah Wellware, who is a mad scientist and inventor.”

Xavier cringes when he hears Dr.Jonah Wellware,s name bringing him some painful memories of being  used as a lab rat as a college student for a  biological enhancement experiment..Xavier almost died because his immune system rejected the injection by the mad scientist. Xavier’s personality from an outgoing and sociable person to an introvert.

Lacy expresses empathy and understanding  when  Xavier revealed to her he participated  in Dr.Wellware,s  experiment as a college  student . It altered  his brain chemistry triggering  his natural personality from extrovert to introvert.  Xavier noticed the changes  within weeks of  his participation when he felt uneasy going to  an upscale gathering with unfamiliar people.He prefers being alone with a  small group of family and friends instead of large crowds.  He gained natural talent for photography and other forms of the arts .

“Xavier,I recall listening to your stories  when you first rode on me as a six -year old boy.”

“Do you gain sentience before you meet me?” Xavier suspects that Lacy exhibits a conscious mind that became  dormant for years.

“I have always had sentience since my creation.
