B is for Bonded

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.

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

  8. The 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.

    Great story. Always amazed at how much can be conveyed with 100 words.

  9. Loved it. Electronic mind melds are cool.

    But you know, if you wanted to go all future tech, neural transceivers would be the way to go. :)

  13. Just 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.

  15. 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...
