The Aneristic Illusion - 03

Somu Smile The Thought

Somu sat on his desk, tapping his fingernails on the mouse.
On his computer glowed an email that said "Eagle on 17th!"
For him Project Eagle was already on.

He had very little time, lesser budget, and too many challanges to score for this one. Challenges that were mostly vague, the kind that become "unforseen circumstances" later.
"So what's new?" he was thinking. "Let's just keep thinking, keep the smile on and even this will come to pass."


"It'll be interesting, not only challenging, but cool too!" Somu Smail L'penser, smiled.
Sa had just logged on to his computer.

The office had no cabins, just partitions, if you stood up, you could see everybody who was in. Everybody.

"...Aaand HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BARTHDAAY TOO YOUUU!" Hiru had asked people to sing for Sa.

Surprised and embarrassed, Sa stood up, simpered.
Somu came over smiling and shook his hand.

"So, how is Pablo shaping up?" he asked, over the din.
"There's supposed to be a delivery today on that Pablo, the Project Manager said I may have to stay late..." Sa replied.

"Haaappy BaarrDay tuuu deaaaar Saaaaaa!..."

"Oh! okay! I wanted to tell you about this new project that we have - Eagle - it's a complex one, little time, a lot of work" Somu said.
"So whats new?" Sa thought.

"...Haaappy BaarrDay ...Haaappy BaarrDay ..."

"It'll be interesting, not only challenging, but cool too!" Somu continued

"Haaappeeee Baaaarrrrrt Daaaaaayyyy....."

"you'll be starting from the 17th of this month."

"...twoooooo youuuuuuuuuu." clap! clap! clap! clap!

"Okay." Sa smiled a shrug and looking around, waved a small thank you to the happy birthday claps.

"Oh! and by the way!" Somu came back again, "what IS NEW this time, is that you'll be working with..."

Star Wars Sa

ZWWAAooZZ! ZZZZAP! BZZZT! PHIISSSSHHHHZZZZAP!
The micro zero-theta focus field makes everything slow.
It makes laser shots so slow that they travelled slowly and...and... you could dodge them if they we aimed at you (AFTER they were fired obiviously).

Temptation was dodging several, while running on the liquid neon surface, there was no cover, she had to keep running, now and then tripping on her own shadow!
Tiny beads of sweat appeared around her full, pink, flower petal mouth...

[I shouldn't steal,]
[BE AN ORIGINAL!!!]
[but... will pipl like it???]
[...]
[doIreallycare!]

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
The reminder on the mobile phone started ringing.
Sa closed his pen, not even noon and another day wasted already.

He started getting dressed - wearing his shirt now.

For close to a month now Sa had been trying to write his SFF masterpiece.
- splashing cologne... Some Hair gel.

Each morning for all he could try - Sa would get nowhere in his story, and would inevitable get late for the office.
- Combing the hair
[another tuft gone gray]
[The pot belly is looking particularly hedious today!]
- Socks
[When will I loose weight...]

[Ah!]
- office.
[well!]
[hell!]
- reception desk.
[take a deep breath and get on with it!]
- the programmer's bay, his desk in it.

It was September 1st, 2007.

Sa's birthday.

Gory,
Laboured,
Helpless Screams.
"Oh! God that's me!" she realized.
And then came another wave of pain and she closed her eyes.

...in the end,
it was all right.
But, before the end came...
things went horribly wrong.

This is the story of it all; As I felt it.
I am She.
Listen… again…

Helpless Screams.
"Oh! God that IS me!"
"Oh! not again, no, please no!" she wanted to scream again and...

The Aneristic Illusion
Before we begin.

The following is based on distortions of true events, as I experienced them.
The names have been changed to support character sketches.

The identities, however, are still naked.
Almost all of it is true.

The part that is not true, is politically correct.
