Many travels: Day 12 Selfie Freewrite Celebration Contest
This is number 12 in the freewrite contest series.
The food the creature had given me wasn't the tastiest, but it did satisfy my hunger. I handed back the tray, almost absentmindedly as I looked around the room some more.
The creature stood there, tray in hand, staring at me. I felt it press on my mind, just a little, like someone who wanted to get your attention by giving a little cough.
I looked down at it, and it smiled. It was a strange smile with thin lips that looked like they didn't normally go in that direction.
What do you remember? I heard in my head.
"Can you hear my thoughts too?" I asked in my head.
Yes, we communicate non-verbally. But we only take the thoughts that are relevant. What do you remember of your travels here?
"I don't," I found myself saying aloud anyway. "I mean I don't remember how I got here at all. I was in my house telling some man to get out then poof! I was here."
Nothing then, of your previous times?
"Previous times? No, no I can't remember anything, though I'm convinced I've been here before."
The creature nodded. You have. Many times. The mind-wipe just won't stick with you. It's time we tried something different.
