A drabble a day keeps the boredom at bay! Here we go with Day 2!
Bonded
The electrodes feel cool against my temples. The mechanical hum soothes my frazzled
nerves. A youthful technician attaches
the remaining electrodes to William.
Tonight is our night.
William and I have been bonding since we were five. Now, fifteen years later, we know each other
more intimately than most people know themselves. Our minds have learned to mingle together, to
work in tandem.
Scientists bond to unlock the mysteries of the
universe. Lovers bond to heighten the
experience. We bond to make art,
symphonies of light and sound, and on stage, we shall stun the world with our
creative power.
Great choice for B. I love your last paragraph, so clear and true.
ReplyDeleteStun the world with our creative power. Man, that's just awesome! Great post!
ReplyDeleteI love the last line!
ReplyDeleteOutstanding...loved it, Great B.

This is a wonderful drabble. So much story in such a little space, and none of it was force-fed. Excellent!

This was lovely. Elegantly written.
ReplyDeleteThe science of this thing reminded me of the TV show Fringe. I can totally see something like this as a plot for one of their episodes.
ReplyDeleteGreat story. Always amazed at how much can be conveyed with 100 words.
Loved it. Electronic mind melds are cool.
ReplyDeleteBut you know, if you wanted to go all future tech, neural transceivers would be the way to go. :)
You really are extraordinarily talented. Great work!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the prompt, and powerful again :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I especially loved the last line. :)
ReplyDeleteJust think you'd never have to fight if you bonded that way. No more communication problems. Men would have to listen to us nattering directly in their brains without interruption.
ReplyDeleteClear and succinct. Nice. Good luck with the challenge!

Very nice Drabble! I can see this as the seed of a larger piece -not that it isn't complete as it is but just because of the questions it raises! See you around the water cooler...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful word in those contexts - nice!

I'm a scientist, so I know that part. The rest looks cool too >:)
ReplyDeleteCold As Heaven
Again, I'm floored by how good you are at this!
ReplyDeleteSure hope there's an entire story behind that 'cause it sucked me right in. Good job

Loved this and want to know more. Great writing
ReplyDeleteThis one feels like part of a much longer story that I'd love to read.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to bond like in The Matrix... to learn karate! :)
