Ultraviolet: FLUKE!

By Allen W. McLean

ULTRAVIOLET is the first in a series of metaphysical science fiction short stories about a superpowered cast living at the end of the 30th century. This story follows Elsa Todd, the Imprint, who can visualize ideas and deconstruct their holographic forms. Using her abilities to outline objects, Imprint contacts the cosmic Source, the first person narrator of the book's third person narrative.

 

Inspired by literature as a medium for the ideas you will read about in ULTRAVIOLET, Imprint's abilities were based on how we interact with ideas when we consume, read, write and create.
...

Also includes "Summond the Scarecrow" and "Ado the Owl" from "The Wisps Book", and another chapter in the "FLUKE!" series, "Hector Blake"!

Invisible lights / reveal the cosmos beyond. / Transcend the structure.
HAIKUPRAJNA - Ultraviolet

 

The Imprint tuned to the light of a clear blue sky. Speaking through the ultraviolet end of the visible spectrum, Imprint told the Source she had hit a roadblock in her project, that the microcosm's dimension of time was frozen past a specific point.

 

The Source revealed that her problem was a non-issue, transcending Imprint's macrocosm, which was a microcosm to the godform.

 

But Imprint realized that meant the Ultraviolet had claimed her abilities and endeavours as its own.

 

Desperate to reclaim her work, Imprint attempted to capture and transcend the godform, but only revealed the underlying structure of every cosmos in her effort.

Outside, the grains of beach sand felt warm under the Imprint’s feet.

She willed her helmet to mask her face and eyes, to observe the sun without hindrance. The light caused her cubical helmet to shine with a pink-magenta colour. She enjoyed thinking of her beach's sweeping tide, as the water ebbed and carried away the thoughts of her current project.

The Imprint could manipulate the motion of a medium's spatial and temporal dimensions through sheer force of will. Though, despite her ability, production of her project had frozen to a halt.

She was hoping that the Sun‘s warmth would reinvigorate her, that basking in the light would be like warming and unfreezing her project’s dimension of time.

Imprint deconstructed visualizations of thought-forms, which, to her, appeared like an all-encompassing holographic environment. By stepping outside of the thought-form, the light-blue sky and the warm sand under the cool tide had absorbed her. Her beach was a welcome change of scenery, more so to one whose employment took place within an enclosed space.

Her eyes affixed to the Sun, Imprint meditated on the beach about her; on the sand burying her feet, on the Canadian maples and pines that enclosed the beach and were drinking from the water, on the heat that radiated through space to bathe her with sunlight, and on the lakeside breeze that cooled and comforted.

Imprint meditated on me—the source of her mental narration.

Imprint captured one ray of light with her laser-like focus, and she deconstructed the photon's particle-wave into a rainbow—the micro-cosmos of light. She projected her focal point across the infrared, a pleasing-orange, a blinding-yellow, a field of green, the aetheric-blue; Imprint's sphere of perception was filled with each colour before stopping to speak with the dull ultraviolet wall at the end of the spectrum of light.

Primordial Source, she thought aloud. Please speak to me. I require guidance.

Despite being imperceptible to the wall, and I to Imprint’s senses, the ultraviolet wall of the Source pushed her focus backwards into the elemental spectrum through the sunlight, which traveled the medium of space-time into her planetary field, into her thoughts. Elsa Todd! How goes your work with the philosophers' stone?

Imprint touched her mask, a tesseract tilted to point downward and whose inner cube was compounded with an eight-sided octahedron, giving her the appearance of having narrow and triangular eyes. It is going fine, she said. "Thanks for the help in its formation. But, that was what I wanted to speak with you
