Singularity Wings

"Huh..."

"Why, Zen?"

"Ha? It's okay... it's just... I don't feel anything."

"Tch, that's probably because you pooped this morning."

"No... it's not that, Zen."

"Oh... hmmm... you must feel relieved."

"Yeah... I don't want to know."

"Are you really going to give up your hundred million just like that?"

"Shut up! I have a stomach ache."

"You're avoiding me again... admit it."

"Admit what?"

-

-

"Hey... even you're thinking about it now."

"Well... it can't be helped... we can't do anything... neither for our country... our family... nor ourselves."

"Then, stop peeing and pooping!"

"Huh... even I don't understand what I mean."

"Yeah... that's what you mean... I understand because you are me and I am you."

"What have we been talking about?"

"Huh? Hmm... oh yeah! The problem of you getting out of the rat hole!"

"Then what should we do?"

"Hmm... just another bribe... probably the price of a sedan..."

"Heh... well, I'll go back there."

"Now that's good... remember! There's no other choice, Zen... this is all for your old age."

Atop the evaporating gray lava, a man with two mouths... returned to paying attention to the ferns.

The man opened the door in front of him. He opened both of his eyelids simultaneously, his face as hot as lava beneath a fish.

"UNCLE! Give me one hundred million!"

"Hey, okay!"

"Look, I'll be back... Hana..."

KNOCK KNOCK

"Excuse me... good afternoon..." said a woman, her eyes fixed on the floor of an apartment, her head bowed as if above the sky were a sea without gravitons.

KNOCK KNOCK

"Excuse me... sorry..."

The door pushed open without a single joule of energy.

"What's wrong, dear?"

The woman at the door paused for a moment, her pupils shrinking like laundry.

"Uh... Uh... is... H-h-h-anz..."

"Hmm... yes?" The woman stomped her foot once... no, two... uh... she was still doing it... did she still want to hide her doll?

"Heh, uh..."

"Oh, you must be looking for the previous owner of this room, huh?"

"Heh... y-yes, Mom."

"But I'm sorry... I don't know where that man is... but, wait a moment... I'll get something."

The woman returned, her hands, curvy like beach waves, clutching a piece of tree bark.

"Here... sorry... I'm in a hurry... I hope you find your crush!"

BANG!

The green flesh fragments returned to their origin at a speed of 201 cm/s. The woman... er... the man before her was fixated on the human skin before him.

One by one, her soft, white hands... pulled... pushed... the white human skin... with their arms.

"T-t-this paper..."

The CPU commanded a living arm... the arm released its energy, rocketing through the virtual creatures.

In time... the rocket landed on a red, crystal-like planet... coated... two layers... of blue silk atmosphere.

There were traces of pure blood on the skin slices.

"From: Mother—"

"Hello."

Behind the woman stood a most bizarre-looking ancient human.

The woman stepped aside from the green flesh.

"Hey... you!"

The strange human covered his mouth with his charred wings.

"That was close... luckily I learned from my mistakes..."

THAT VOICE!

"Um... excuse me, sis... are you looking for your classmate?"

THAT TONE!

"Um... y-yes, uncle."

The prehistoric man pondered without reserve.

"I... what should I do... at a time like this? Mr. Tully?"

Why is it raining indoors? Prepare the vessel! Hey, Sazha...

"Um, uncle?"
