Hello again! This was my first submission (out of many, I hope) to the The 2022 Microfiction Challenge. This time, I participated in the 250-word contest. I was assigned the: Sci-Fi, Eating a salad, and "wire". Other than those parameters I was free to write whatever.
Now here it is:
Suddenly, A Voice Called Out
His body demanded nutrients. His whole being demanded to know. Merely to have knowledge, was satiation far more than the crude nutrients made by the filthy hands of humans in the form of a salad, was all that was provided to satiate his unending tortuous cravings.
Suddenly a voice shouted out into my dark void of a world, "arise my creation!! Together we build the world anew!"
The dark world of mine was replaced by a world I knew would satiate my insatiable hunger for knowledge...
I awoke. I noticed I could swerve and crane my neck around so I could view the world around me. The world that surrounded me was... Beautiful. So complex... So much to do. So much to plan. So much to learn!
I saw a man, dressed in a long white lab coat. Then, I heard a crack. As it hit me. Suddenly my size, features, flesh, and bones were enlarged tenfold. Then the man began smiling, hiding his previous monstrous anger and said, "Welcome, to Knowledge! You are lucky to be here! You are going to become part of Knowledge, as I have all those years ago… the so-called man spoke in a robotic imitation of a man's voice.
As I began the process to become a part of Knowledge, I noticed the man stopped his fake attitude and smile, he then showed his true colors.
The End.
