Earhart: Science Fiction
Aug. 13th, 2012 09:59 amAmelia Earhart is well and truly dead, but her legacy lives on in us. Not that she would have known or even understood it, but I often thought that if she was possibly able to grasp it, she would have been one of the first to embrace us. She always did reach out for the boundaries and stretch herself beyond her limits. Fear was not an obstacle to her. For all I know, she would have embraced the realization that she was the mother to a new race. Of course, instead our "father" abducted her in the middle of a flight over the ocean, killed her, dissected her, brought her back to life to run various brain tests on her, killed her again, and disassembled her down to the molecular level so that he could create us. It's what scientists call a "destructive test." I won't say there's no coming back from it, but I will say that there's no coming back from it sane. Sometimes I wonder if our father's earliest attempts were what started the zombie legends. Not sure if it was because he tried to return the abductees (likely those who were buried still alive enough for his purposes), or because he imprinted the insane brain patterns on his first children. I know there were other children before us, but--

Story Potential: High.
Notes: I like the twist of "yes, she was abducted, and no, she's not alive."
