See What I See

I keep running into Mail Carriers in strange places. They all know who I am, they hand me mail. None is the package I want.

In the half doze of the sleeper train I saw the assassin change from everyday clothes into those made for killing.

It's hard to find your place on a map of the world with no boundaries. "You are here... approximately."

Brilliant PHD students build a giant voodoo doll with gears at it's heart, hoping that strategically placed pins will give them the secret to the universe.

Several Scientists and Artists are locked in a room for 3 hours while they debate the ethics of the murder of one of their own.

People send messages to the future in bottles over a waterfall.

At the end of the world there is a flower that may be the earth's only salvation. Its procurement will not be easy, it is guarded by those who want to inherit the earth.

In The Red

     A Police Detective breaks the electronic seal on his partners door. He hadn't answered his vid that morning. Not normally a cause for alarm, if not for the message from the serial killer they were hunting saying he found the officers of the law such interesting prey.

     He enters to find the apartment silent, nothing moves in any room. He finds the body in the bathroom, the pale walls decorated in bright splashes of red. His partner had not died easily, but still, he was dead. Suddenly he catches movement from the corner of his eye. A small white kitten wriggles free from where his partner had used the curve of his body to protect it. Mewling softly, it nuzzles the hand that had left a print of itself, dark on its tiny body. The detective picks up the kitten, witness/evidence, and tucks it under his coat, it's the least he can do.
