  • Star Canary. A science fiction short story. Part II

    • Finally, I work up the courage to ask the Mlecchas why they needed me.
  • Skipper, Rico and Kowalski were silent for a long time, looking at each other.
  • I thought that they wouldn’t answer anything at all, but after a while the Skipper muttered something unintelligible.
  • Klaus explained to me that the Mlecchas on their interstellar vimana needs a Shubhankar, a special talisman.
  • They were going to need it in space.
  • It was strange: what kind of Shubhankar was this?
  • The meaning of this I realized when we went deeper into the Coalsack Nebula.
  • Up until this moment, the vimana had seemed to be floating on a starry river, sparkling like the Ganges under the midday sun.
    • I had often come to the gallery, where there was a transparent vault, to admire the sparkling space.
  • Skipper, Rico and Kowalski never looked at the stars.
  • They had probably seen everything during their travels and had gotten used to it.
  • Sometimes Klaus was with me every second of the day and night.
    • He told me about space and about the inhabitants of star systems, pointing to the stars and telling me what they were called.
    • I was always enchanted at the sparkling scattering of stars and never particularly listed to what Klaus was telling me.
  • I didn’t understand many of his stories.
  • I think he figured this out, because he began to pester me less often with his monotonous stories.
  • And then everything suddenly collapsed.
  • It was as if a deep night had fallen on us, the sky was all covered with clouds of impenetrable darkness and the stars had faded.
  • Only a few crimson lights, like embers, flickered dimly from the abyss.
  • I stood in the gallery and looked into the darkness, with eyes wide open.
  • I don’t know where Skipper, Rico and Kowalski were.
    • Some of them must had been controlling the vimana, some must have been busy with other things.
  • Klaus suddenly disappeared somewhere.
  • I was all alone, trembling with fear.
  • There were creatures lurking in the ominous darkness surrounding the vimana.
  • The monsters were made of darkness and took on various frightening forms.
    • Sometimes I saw them as angry crocodiles, patiently waiting for their prey in the depths of a black pool, sometimes they became giant hairy spiders weaving their sticky webs or turned into a cold ball of poisonous snakes, writhing with a disgusting hiss.
  • I was paralyzed by fear and couldn’t move.
  • Meanwhile, a chilling horror, a terrible darkness was getting closer and closer and finally fell over me.
  • It was death itself.
  • I screamed loudly, with all my might, to drive away the terrible darkness.
  • I screamed until I couldn’t breathe, trembling all over and bursting into tears.
  • When I was completely exhausted, I fell to the floor.
  • Alarming red lights flashed under the ceiling and a siren wailed piercingly throughout the vimana...
