The Gaia Alignment

A short science fiction story

I woke up much too early to start the day with a
strange combination of feeling void and euphoria.
The shallow winter sun was shining right through my
face and into my brain; I began to see clearly the
unlikely events of last night. The pulsing patterns
emerging on the screen would be such strong evidence
for the ‘non-biology-hypothesis’, the culmination
of the incredible motivation that has driven
me for the last three years. I held on to that thought
(or was it hope?), as I stumbled through my morning.
Strong coffee told me that it probably wasn’t just a
dream. The fresh winter air outside told me it wasn’t
a dream. The delivery drone almost hitting me as
usual, and despite my repeated complaints, hovering
too low in front of the main entrance told me it
wasn’t a dream. The bike ride to the institute did not
relieve my worries and as I went through the lab and
to my desk I could still see the 3D models that I had
printed the night before.
