Head Trip

Head Trip

The Beginning

The Womb, 1948

A diffused glow covered the womb with different shades of blood red ranging from dark to bright. Overhead stretched not exactly a sky, but an expanse resembling one, of powdery red with faint, high overcast cirrus-y clouds stretching across it. Below, the “sky” spread a vast “sea” of dark red liquid that sloshed and heaved like an angry ocean. From the “sky” throbbed a distant and perpetual squish, squish squish…sound that continued unabated.

An embryo floated just beneath the “sea’s” surging waves—just a head and a trunk with no hands or legs. It hung there, vertically suspended in the liquid, apparently lifeless.

Suddenly, within the embryo burst a great surge of life; it became present and awoke. All at once it reached a brittle, alert state. The small creature, all abuzz, soon accommodated itself to the jarring new feeling. It realized it was absolutely alone in this apparently infinite red world.  This helped it to relax, and at the same time, feel god-like as it primitively surveyed its vast red realm. Though it didn’t yet have functioning eyes or ears, it sensed its world almost magically. It took in garbled sounds as vibrations, and was barely aware of flickering shades of red light and the vastness of this place.  The floating little creature guessed that it must indeed be at the center of it all—a true god.

Then, suddenly, across from the embryo in the funnel-shaped cervical canal that opened to the womb, an intruder appeared; a slackly-connected group of cells resembling fish eggs. This little glob expanded in random pulses each second. It glowed in colors so bright and amazing, even the embryo could sense their variety, though it couldn’t quite differentiate each individual hue.

There was one in the womb; now there were two.

      I should say, HEAD TRIP (Book#1) and CONSEQUENCE OF GREED(Book#2) are each 99 cents in a Kindle format world wide. Book #3, LATENT IMAGE, will be out in June! I’m working on it right now. Awesome! What a twist from the last edition!
