anunnaki chapter 2 part 1
Episode 1
A sizzling egg, Butter bubbling around it in a frying pan, and a
thick slice of wheat toast cooling on a plate on the counter nearby.
The tourist was wearing an apron. His large flashlight eyes emitting
ever so subtle light.
Teki with his scaly skin and lean muscle shaping and reshaping itself
with every movement of the arm attached to his hand, flipping or
prodding the egg with the spatula, as if in ritual seduction of the
cooking down of Sam's dreams. That of the newly chosen passport that
he knew still did not believe he was anything but a hallucination. He
began to sing the song that would eventually wake Sam up from a
physical hibernation that was Xanax induced delirium.
The song rang out (reverberated) in the house as every word carried
in the key to the melody of the old Beatles standard in my life. He
sang, "there are places I remember all my life, though some have
changed. Some forever, not for better, some have gone, and some
remain." His voice was warm, but not his own. It was the sound
of nostalgia. It was the sound of direct remembering. Of his lost
little friend, the octopus alien, he had also cooked down much like
the breakfast for this woman. Though for an entirely different
purpose.
Sam woke to tuneful fear (I am shameless) of the world that was a
hangover, and she didn't like it—thoughts of remembering her
'supposed' interaction with some demonic extraterrestrial.
Overwhelmed her mind with a dream-like recollection that seamed so
truthfully the side effect of being doped with LSD that she could not
humor any other explanation. However, there was a familiar voice
coming from the stairs, a song that made her want to cry. A song from
somewhere similar to her world, but it was also different from her
small factories of indentured labor and church with a pastor that
pushed drugs as sexual coercion.
She walked down the stairs doing her best not to make a noise,
startled only by the voice stopping from singing to say, "come
on you know I am real; let's talk, I made breakfast." she one
stumbling shaking foot after the other made her way to the table and
sat down. "so, what do you want more than anything?" Said
Teki.
Sam - Most of all?
Teki - go for it live dangerously.
Sam - alright, I want to know why this is happening to me.
Teki - all in due time, The important thing for right now is we need
a covenant so we can get going.
Sam - like a contract?
Teki - Yeah
He sat down the plate after placing the egg on top of the toast it
held. Sam took a bite, a mouthful of buttery egg white and savory
toast, and said: "Can I have anything." "Yes, but just
once, so make it count," said Teki. She thought about it "can
you make me not miss the drugs? Can you make me not want them?"
"Yes. Can you dedicate your life to being a passport?" said
Teki. "why not, I am not doing anything with my life? Why
shouldn't you have it." Her voice was almost a whimper. "You
don't belong to anyone, Sam. Being a passport is an occupation for
life, but that is all it is."
