The Cloud - 15. Chapter 15

Epilogue

Meridian, MS

Office of Dr. Walt Haas, OBGYN

4 Months later

Lillian Hollister sat in her doctor’s waiting room with a dozen other expectant mothers. Thumbing through the magazines, she came across one with a picture of a beautiful lasagna on the cover. As she read the recipe, a small voice in her mind said wow, that really looks good!

She thought, Maybe I’ll go to Olive Garden when I’m done.

Lasagna, lasagna, lasagna!

Lillian though, whoa. So, this is what a craving is like.

One of the other mothers said, “That’s funny. Suddenly, I’m having a huge craving for lasagna.”

Another one of the ladies said, “Good grief. So am I.”

Lillian said, “Anybody up for a visit to the Olive Garden when we’re done here?”

Her motion passed unanimously.

An hour later, the dozen pregnant women, all of them strangers an hour before, arrived at the Olive Garden at the Bonita Lakes mall.

The waiter who came out to seat them said, “Don’t tell me. You are all craving lasagna?”

Lillian said, “Why yes we are. How did you know?”

As they followed him to their table, they saw that dozens of pregnant women had already been seated.

Suddenly, Lillian realized where the voice was coming from.

Get lots of Parmesan cheese, mommy.

Something hive-minded this way... uh... undulates.

 

You had me gripped, despite the short chapters. I am really hoping there is more to this story. It reminds me a bit of Contact -- and I just had a nerdgasm. :)

 

Thank you.

Guessed right about the creature coming to procreate but not the outcome. Definitely a fun story -- and lots of potential for sequels. Thanks, James! thumbsup.gif
