Ficlets

Brazillian Brilliance

Picture a flip-book. In this flip book is a series of pictures that when quickly looked at consecutively make up what looks like moveing objects. Now picture every unmeasurable moment in time as a page in this book.

That is how Jacque saw time, and in the backyard of his Brazillian mansion, he dwelled on that thought as he put the last touches on his “Lightning engine.”

Attached to his invention was 3 thin diamond rings 3 feet in diameter that had been molded just for Jacque’s cause. One of these rings were staionary, the other 2 hooked up to the “Lightning engine”. Finally, all this was encased in a tomb of quartz, and placed in a huge metal tub.

Jacque threw a foot ball for the whole ordeal and flicked on the nuclear heater. After an hour, the quartz had melted and Jacque tossed in his T-9 remote camera. The sun exploring camera made its way through the liquid crystal until the rings were in view. In between the 2 rings on the engine, was the repeating image of the overhead football, or, the past.
