     Micro story

I have talked to the microbes in container 7 before. It is an intuitive bunch. The science project for the school expanded when I figured out one of my samples became active with level 4 and beyond conciousness . I bought the microbe-listener to listen to squirming of the beings inside. All the samples in containers before or after 7 are mostly illegible. They say on the box that most samples from the microbe kit would reach level 2 of conciousness so all we would hear is growling, at best. I followed all the guidelines, kept the power up for almost half a month now. On the 7th day when the sample 7 was showing signs of advanced life, level 4 or beyond, I started listening in and oh the things that come up.

The instructions or microbe listener, the cheap version that my mom bought from yard sale few blocks down, says it can’t pinpoint one organism, like the nice one Patrick's mom bought for him, but listens to the single conciousness formed by combining all organisms in the sample. It was like that until the 8th day when organisms found a way to make amplifiers they call churches and temples. When they speak in there I can hear them fine enough to make out individual chatter. And chatter it is. All everyone talks about in there is bad stuff they did or ask things from me which are impossible for me to do from here. If my 8th father, who my mother favors right now, listened to any of that, he would have me close down all experiments. He anyways keep complaining about the electricity bill due to all the sample containers.

I enjoy listening to all the things women tell they did. I am not sure I understand why they like to tell me all that. All the steamy stories and boasting about sex outside of their marriages, which is a weird concept. Apparently the women there are subservient to men and unlike us can’t have more than one partner. Men on the other hand have sex with a lot of women. Wish it was like that over here and men didn't have to wait in line for months before they get invitation to be the next numbered partner of a female.

As for the chatter below, I wish instead of all that, they told me about all the fun stuff they did. Some of them tell me about their loved ones and fun trips they take. I alway enjoy listening to them. Well it is 14h day. The experiment ends tonight. I have turn all the power off. I would love to listen to microbes in sample 7 more but I would get a beating if I left it up for one more night.

I turned off most of containers except few of my favorites. Somehow beings in 7 can see light coming from other containers and they know I am turning them out. There are a lot of chatter now asking God, a name they came up for me apparently, to help them and not turn their power source off. I would love to give them their wish but my 8th father would kill me if he found out I was still using power for my experiment. Mother has been inviting him over more and more now and that means he has to pay the power bill for the coming month as well. Well, I did get enough data points to recreate this experiment. Even if I turn it off I will be able to get back here once I start earning and am able to pay for better equipment and power. I know little ones that it is scary but it is time for me to turn off the power. I will see you again later, I promise.

Reviewed by Ronald Hull 8/15/2018
Quite a story. Emphasizes how pathetic much of our earthly emotional behavior is in the scheme of the universe. Very intuitive and original. Should help make those tied up in temples and churches think a bit about their belief in the basic, unknown that they tend to call, God.

Could use a little editing to make it communicate better. But then, it could be the language of an adolescent, experimenting with life as he knows it.
