Outcasts of Gideon

She tried to make sense of what she saw. Neither the sounds nor the shapes fit anything familiar. The only thing that came to mind were the echoes of a bad dream. It was a constantly moving landscape of shadows and colors coming at her, through her, in waves. The sounds were vibrating in dull throbs that almost appeared solid, like ripples on a pond.

“Are you talking to me?” She shouted as though contending with a loud din.

The voices stopped. The forms shimmered as if she was seeing them through a wall of water. They were around her, dozens of them. No, that’s not right. Only a few. They were drawing toward her, their attention focused on her. One began to gesture. A voice returned, deep and gruff, then sweet, tinny, a series of fluctuating modulations. It was pointing at her. It had seen her.

About the Author

C.A. Wynn

A lover of science fiction, C.A. Wynn is the pen name of Rich Brents. The author believes the genre relies too much on war, conquest, and other trite human tropes. In reality, the future - particularly in space exploration - is fertile ground for complex stories of human development and struggle.
