Juno slowly rose off her bed and walked to the wall-terminal.  Standing on the user interface foot-mesh, Juno faced the bio-metric lock and waited as the sensor evaluated.  Two swipes of the poly-mimetic laser satisfied the code and revealed a small dais.

Juno raised both hands and twisted - the dais turned appropriately, revealing a small single-hand print.  Raising the fingers in her left hand in a familiar cadence, the dais interface showed a small note.

- PLEASE COME -

Bringing both hands together, Juno pushed the message to the data stream.  Drawing a small inward circle on her left palm, the dais muted and the foot-mesh dimmed to ambient lighting.

"I hope he gets this in time," thought Juno, as she wearily sat back down on the bed.

The begrudging squeal of the bed quietly filled the chamber as the white-noise generator continued its distraction.

As Mary made her way along the path, the way grew a little wider; the subtle hint of the crashing waves behind her gave way to a sweet murmuring.  "The air seems cooler," Mary thought to herself, as the murmuring grew gently louder.  Moving along the path, Mary saw the walk bubbling up quietly from some unseen source; where the water flowed, along the path, the slope of the hill fell.  "Wow, natural spring water," Mary thought a she held her flask against the current.  The left and right side of the path were covered in a clear, clean stream, and the center of the path held rocks that continued the path, sloping upwards.  Having taken a few solid gulps and filling her flask, Mary hopped onto the first rock, being careful to land in the center. "How curious," considered Mary, as she looked at the stepping stone.  "It appears to be made of wood but decorated as if it were stone."  Looking forward, Mary noted the stones continued on their steady p...

[.: Brainstorm; random words :.] Gossamer dreams of ember days, ordinary ordinations gone ablaze, and time lost to sand and haze, has come to roost in deeper plays. "Why am I here," asked Mary, as she stood on the beach.  There had been a point where Mary was quite certain of what she had been doing.  She was sure of it.  "I don't recall how I arrived here," stated Mary to her shadow.  Standing on the beach, letting the wind draw attention to her feet, Mary glanced at the designs drawn by waves from unknown shores.  Small eddies revealed shells, filling the spaces between her toes, and slowly she walked; the waves crashed gently to her right as the soft sun hid behind clouds and cast a shadow several feet ahead. "Perhaps I shall run across someone whom I might recognize," said Mary, as she moved along the shore.  "At the very least, they might help me remember something."  As the beach slowly revealed a dune in the distance, the water ...

previous                                               Doctor Archibald McGuffin III spoke to his patient. "I'm sorry, Harry," said Dr. Archie, as he took the placed the stethoscope into his jacket pocket. A small popping sound heralded the absence of the scope. "What do you mean, Doc?" asked Archie. "I only came in here to ask about my sensitivity to moonlight." Pregnant pauses filled the air as Dr. Archie popped the floating pauses; the air cooled audibly. "I believe you may not have realized it, but you have it exactly backwards," said Dr. Archie. Turning toward the doctor, Harry said, "Um ... what?" Smiling, Dr. Archie picked up several of the collapsed pauses and placed them back into the holes littered across the wall. "Yes," said Dr. Ar...
