Glimpse by Dylan C. B.
Page 2 of 4 Then there was a third beep, she looked at the computer intent that it was
about to explode, only to see a word being typed across the screen, it read,
"illusion," naomis was confused, she looked at the keboard and the typed, "
Illusion?" she entered the text, the computer whirred. Again there was a beep,
followed by a the response, " Life is an illusion of the subconsious," there
was a pause " For one reality is lost." naomi typed in " who is the one that
reality is lost..?" she hit enter, there was yet another pause, " the
queen...." then it stopped. " who is the queen?" she asked, but there was no
response. Naomi blinked, and as she opened her eyes she saw that the screen had
returned to normal. She shut off the computer.
9:10 AM
Naomi was confused but not scared ,she was tough she had grown up in the
city, when she was only a small child at the age ten she had gotten in a car
crash that had her in a coma for three months, she had been though everything,
broken bones, cuts and scrapes, several times she even needed stitches, she
though she had seen it all but this, this was somthing different this had made
her stomach twist in knots like never befor even in the most intense of
situations.
She wasn't really sure what action to take, should she call the cops, or lay
low, maybe just dismiss it like it was an accident, or some kind of mistake, or
what if it was some kind of twisted stalker slash serial killer type person,
intent on destroying lives because they wanted revenge on a deceased relative.
Naomi smiled, she knew her imagination was just getting the best of her. She
picked up the remote to the television and pressed the power button. "... two
days agoAmerican Airlines flight number 187 has dissapeared somewhere over the
pacific ocean, on route to Hawaii. the experts are claiming that the
dissapearence was due to the plane crashing because of an engine failure. The
conclusion cannot be made official though because none of the plane, or its
passengers have been found." Naomi stared at the screen, great another
bermuda triangle style plane dissapearence, I've lost count already,
thats gotta be the fourth this month. Everyones becomeing to afraid to fly, the
airports are gonna go outta business. "Now stick around because up next is
good day live."
11:45 AM
The day was almost at its peak, it was fifteen minutes to noon, Naomi turned
off the shower faucet and stepped out to the cold tile floor of her bathroom.
She was higher up than most of the sorrounding buildings, she had a beautiful
view of the city but kept the blinds closed in most of the rooms, this was
partly because of her fear of hights,though keeping the blinds in the bathroom
shut was mearly common sense.
Naomi stepped into her room wrapped tighly in a bathrobe, and closed the
door. She walked over to her dresser and opened one of the draws, only to
discover a letter with nothing written on the outside whatsoever. She picked it
up examining it, then with her index finger she tore it open and pulled out the
piece of paper resting inside, it read, "goodbye." Naomi looked down at where
she had found the letter only to see another identicle one of which she was
sure had not been there before, she closed the door hoping her eyes had been
playing tricks on her. She then slowly opened it once more, Naomi stared in
shock at the hundreds and hundreds of letters that spilled out of the draw,
that was filled with clothes not moments ago. Next Page Copyright © 1999, 2000, 2001 Dylan C. B., sffworld.com. All rights reserved.
