Urban Harvest: #9

Just as I thought it was all over, I saw the thing coming back. This time it was more brilliant. I pushed Amy out of the way.  I could hear screams and cries coming from the outside. The light pushed me into the tank and I felt it penetrating me. I tried to scream but I could not. Everything was fading fast. Will was by my side holding hands. He looked anxious. He was trying to tell me something. But all I felt was darkness.

I tried opening my eyes, they just wouldn’t. I heard someone walk in. It was a very hoarse voice.

“Congratulations William, you achieved what you set out for young man.”

“We need more men like you,” said another.

“Thank you for believing in me gentlemen. We shall meet again on Thursday.”
........................................................................................
There was absolute silence after that.
........................................................................................
A few minutes later I heard more than one muffled voice in the room. I recognized one.

“Sir, the results are positive.”
