Day Nine: The Man with no Head

Today's mood: Dismal

A surge. A vision of a field. Endless. Perfectly level. Neon grass in all directions. The connection grows stronger. I see what Robot sees.

He sits in the center of the meadow. A nucleus. Legs crosses. Indian style. Thoughtless. Emotionless.

The horizon flashes. An orb of light appears. A shadow emerges. Robot trembles as the orb collapses behind the silhouetted figure. I feel fear though the connection.

The shadow approaches. He’s close. Air from the bottom jaw up. A blue business suit. A Windsor knot. A red rose nailed to the lapel. Dried blood stains its edges.

Robot beeps. It echoes within the chest cavity. The connection is pain.

The man with no head stops inches from Robot, dwarfed by his massive size. Looks up with eyes that do not exist. Liquid squirts from his neck. Every three seconds. Like clockwork. A geyser of spinal fluid.

He speaks, tongue flailing above a set of pearly white. A series of hisses and buzzes. Deep. Atonal. Like a snake getting fucked with a vibrator. The words come from both nowhere and everywhere at once.

I understand nothing.

Robot says nothing.

A new vision comes through the connection. An illusion. A daydream: A thousand robots. A city made of gears.

The pain subsides. Robots terror is my terror.

The man with no head hold up a hand. A waxy nub gives birth to three digital fingers. An implied threat. An implied smile. Robot understands completely.

Dusk settles upon the meadow.

The man with no head turns.

The man with no head evaporates within an orb of light.

The man with no head is a fucking maniac.
