Science Fiction: Welcome to my Worlds

Chapter 5

Rajiid was having a hard time keeping his eyes open as he rocked in his favorite chair in front of the wall-mounted HDTV. Some comedian was droning on about something and he couldn’t seem to keep his mind on it long enough to decide if it was funny. Really should get up and go to bed before…

Thump. CRASH!!! His eyes popped open wide. It was coming from Missy’s room! He jumped up from the chair, swiping the half-empty glass of soda with his elbow in his haste, knocking it to the floor and spilling the contents on the carpet. No time for that now.

Hurrying down the hallway, he reached for the doorknob of Missy’s room barely getting it open a crack when something SMASHED into splinters on the wall beside the door scattering fragments of colored ceramic across his slippers. He reached toward the wall dimmer and flicked it into semi-brightness with his fingertip. Continuing into the room, he ignored a rag doll which bobbed and swooped beside a spinning framed photo of Stephen Hawking.

Missy tossed and turned on the bed but, oddly he thought, the expression on her face seemed quite happy. She was breathing heavily and the covers were twisted and tangled around her.
