Cyborg Lady
How much time passed? Hours? Days? Years? She felt like she has been... 'There' for maybe a century or so, tucked in her stiff and minuscule space capsule. But no, the clock showed that just 2 days passed. She wondered if ground control was still looking for her, with the antennas pointed skyward trying to find a little tin can lost among the stars.
But her trail of thoughts was interupted by whispering voices... The same spooky whispers that has been bombing her brain relentlessly for hours. She again felt that weird feeling, she felt as if she learned something, yet she couldn't tell what, it was driving her insane.
"STOP IT!!! Please! I beg you, let me go!..." She yelled while crying, unsure if 'Them' could listen her from beyond the suit and the capsule. Somehow her pleads worked, until they began whispering again, but this time they were talking between them.
Suddently her capsule shuddered, yanking her left and right inside the scarce space of the tin can, but then she saw it. The Earth, with it's beautiful clouds and the mighty blue sea. She was glued to the little window of the tin can in joy and marvel, she was going to cry but her instrument warned her that the ground was getting near, too near.
She left aside her feelings and began the standard procedure for landing, she didn't knew where she was going to land, maybe in the ocean or maybe in the middle of Kansas but in any case she was ready to go home and turned on her radio.
"Mercury to Canaveral, Mercury to Canaveral, I'm beginning re-entry, can you hear me? over." She waited for a couple of minutes but she received just the absolute silence, that wasn't good, expecially since she was starting to burn through the atmosphere. She waited more, even if she somehow managed to pick a signal she was in the middle of re-entry, extreme g-forces were tearing her appart while flames enveloped the little tin can, it was painful but after a while she was finally inside the atmosphere and she was ready to engage her parachute.
"Mercury to Canaveral, Can you hear me? I need navigational support, over!" She waited another, torturing minute until she finally picked a signal.
"This is LAX Ground Control, What kind of aircraft are you Mercury? You're vertically descending on the city!" Said angrily a man over the radio.
"The WHAT?!? This capsule can land only on water!! Oh no, I'm gonna crash!!!" She yelled at the radio frightened. The man over the radio tried to calm her down but she had to quickly find a way. She felt it, the ground coming right below her and ready turn her into a pastiche of scrap metal and red mist.
But then she felt a whisper inside her head, the same she heard in the void, she tried to focus, to catch it with her mind, until she understood, it was something she couldn't comprehend consciously, yet she knew what to do.
The metallic capsule fell down on the road, gently from the sky as if it was made of actual tin foil, it was falling too slowly for something so big and yet all it made was just a gentle thud.
The astronaut has never been that happy in her whole life. With a little of difficulty she climbed out of her tin can and saw... Motor cars? High buildings? It was all so strange and allien, and alliens were the weirdly dressed people who was watching her amazed.
A couple of people that looked like policemen came to help her climb down from the capsule, their uniforms were so strange and one of them was even a woman!
"A-a police... woman?" She said amazed, she couldn't believe what she was looking at but the policewoman looked like she took offence to that.
"What? You never saw a policewoman? Did you just came back from the moon or what?" Snarked the woman, but the astronaut was sweating heavily and she felt her bones so brittle and weak.
"J-Just what year is now?" She asked dreadfully, she was going to pass out any moment but she was trying to hold on.
"2016, why you ask?" The astronaut just fell down on her knees and blacked out. The medics would say that the re-entry drained her physically, but in reality, the future was just so scary for Jane.
