Hair after hair--long and short; curly, straight, frizzy, wavy; black, brown, auburn, blonde--falling into that gaping maw of drained death. And yet. You see a single strand that seems to be resisting the flow. As its brethren sink down, it holds it place against the torrent of the underwater. How? You move in for observation, a nose touch away now: at its one end, faintly glinting metallic, the rotation of a motor shaped to star pattern geometry. In hyperevolution compressed down to the time it took for the cabana server to bring you a refreshed glass of perrier jouet poolside, a thousand-thousand generations of trial and error, struggle and triumph bringing them to this, its crew has fashioned a propulsive device and deployed it to fight against the inevitability of their end.
You watch the hair begin to mark forward progress but, suddenly, the flow intensifies, the subsurface vortex swirling with new force; the tiny motor whirls and gyres but the hair begins to lose ground, dread end revisited! You feel tears forming along the edges of your goggles, to see such ingenuity blotted out, a mournful loss that--a FLASH: around the hair, a minute barrier has formed, multichromatic and shimmering.
You mouth the words to yourself from your underwater perch in the pool, air bubbles escaping your lips: "a shield!” Another eyeblink millenium of toil, dedicatied defiance against the call of the void: "We will not submit." The hair rises through the waters, up to the surface of the pool. You see the miniature rocketry now from the underside of the hair, dots of light, pushing it off the surface, into the air, tilting it upward, ready to launch high into the sky. Their technology, will, endurance has brought them this freedom. And then? It dives back into the pool.
"Why would they have gone back into the pool? They were on the verge of escape. They could have gone anywhere. Explored the fabric of space and time."
'They turned back, Jonathan, for the other hairs.'
“The other hairs?"
'Because someone needed to rescue them, too.' |
