MAY 2022 -- 75 Word Writing Challenge -- VICTORY TO THERAPIST!

[reiver33]

Beginnings

A seemingly endless sweep of surf and sand, backstopped by banana trees. No weapon to hand, the only air cover a solitary seagull, circling in silence.

I still felt the hit, the agony, but my bare chest betrayed no wound, not even a bruise.

No sign of civilisation to left or right, although the direction, the choice, seemed somehow significant.

So, a first step on an endless journey, or an eternity of stasis?

Only forward.

​

“Incoming transmission.”​

​

“Accepted. Hello…?”​

​

“Good to see you.”​

​

“Professor?”​

​

“Not since you sabotaged my work.”​

​

“I found a mistake, an infinity in your equations—”​

​

“—reporting it before I could fix it, which I’ve done.”​

​

“Impossible!”​

​

“The infinity’s still there, but gives a very different outcome… as you’ll find out.”​

​

“What do you mean?”​

​

“My light speed drive’s hidden inside your ship’s engine.”​

​

“It can’t work.”​

​

“What it can’t do is stop. Goodbye and enjoy infinity.”​
