“Crystal Clear Reckoning”

By Scott L Vannatter – 100 Words

Jonah looked at the beautiful clear spikes behind the glass. They appeared “alive” – a thought which was held to be real after reading the inscription below the case telling how they were found on the outside of a fallen cable satellite a few weeks ago and had increased about one-third in that time. No one knew what they fed on or how big they would become. And science was not concerned, just excited, about it.

Jonah saw the spikes poking through the bottom of the case. He knelt and saw them sticking into the ground. Just how big, he wondered?

Yikes! That’s not a good situation. Science needs to get concerned quick-smart. Great story and title.

  That would depend on whether this is a humorous story or a horror story!

Creepy. I wonder if they might also be sentient. That could be creepier still.

Cheers!

  If it would be creepier, then, of course, they are sentient!
