Curtained: 55 Fiction

2 October 2009 6 Comments

Contest entry #6: Curtained

From the black spherical room of his, Zed saw civilizations discovered, the moon conquered, words carried through air, health cures magically made all in a few years. He could see travel through solids, structures of vapour, artificially made human blood all in a few years. And yet science called his black spherical eyes blind.

    I thought it was going to be a sci-fi piece. You caught me off-guard though. But then again, that’s the whole purpose of 55wf.

    Liked the different take a lot.
