Serum

His eyes opened and he spent time looking around, taking in the strange surroundings.

He seemed to understand everything he was seeing. This sense of newly found enlightenment was, he thought, perfectly natural. It seemed to be quite obvious that it had been given to him to know that human studies had shown that in the light, rats tend to sleep with there eyes closed. He wasn’t sure how he knew that; he just did. He knew a lot more than this. He knew that the small bowl of water and the bowl of seeds, nuts and green scraps beside it, had been placed there. In fact, the environment itself was not at all normal, but artificial, constructed, prepared deliberately. He knew all this. Moreover, he could see that this entire setting was enclosed in a glass tank.

Scrabbling closer to one of the glass panels, he could see several papers on the benchtop beyond. The heading on one clearly read Artificial Intelligence Programme. There was nothing unusual about the fact that he was perfectly capable of both reading and understanding what this meant!

He was turning his situation, and the part he was playing in it, over in his mind when a much greater source of light, beyond that of his tank, flooded the room. This was followed by two men, wearing white laboratory coats and carrying clipboards, who approached the tank with great interest.

After looking over the notes in front of the tank and referring to their clipboards, they discussed the project’s progress briefly before leaving the room. He understood everything they were saying. They seemed to be very happy with the results. They both agreed that the serum that they had created was most successful. All up, they really were very excited about how it was all going.

After this, he watched them go.

They were absolutely right, of course.

However, he was left with the nagging thought… how could they possibly know?

  1. With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has a lot of unique content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any techniques to help stop content from being stolen? I’d truly appreciate it.

  4. Hello! I could have sworn I’ve been to this blog before but after browsing through some of the post I realized it’s new to me. Anyways, I’m definitely happy I found it and I’ll be book-marking and checking back frequently!

  5. My spouse and i were now glad when Raymond managed to round up his basic research from the precious recommendations he obtained out of your web page. It’s not at all simplistic to simply find yourself giving for free solutions that others could have been making money from. And we all do know we have got the blog owner to appreciate for this. The entire illustrations you have made, the easy web site menu, the relationships you can make it easier to create – it is most excellent, and it’s helping our son and us believe that this idea is amusing, which is exceptionally serious. Thank you for all the pieces!
