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.

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.”

She also revealed that her society  lacks genetic diversity because their reproductive cloning  technology started to malfunction.

Queen Alisha lives in a terraform exoplanet Giselle  where women dominate in leadership and population.  The females in Womanland trace their lineage  matrilineality with  a matriarchal governmental structure.  In the beginning men had leadership roles the community.

Womanland developed as a social experiment  by mostly female colonists fleeing an  oppressive regime where they are second class citizens with little or no rights. The few older men who supported the women’s flight suffered the  consequences of exile and stripping of their citizenship in Redwood.

Womanland represented a fresh  start for the women forced to flee their homeland.  They formed the matriarchy out of survival ,because there were  shortages of male capable of leadership and most  of them were under 25 year-olds.
