Everyday I AM the Book

Alan P. Scott - Fictions - 100-word stories

virus is a language


Recent investigations into genetic structure reveal that so-called 'junk' codons are distributed like a language. This leads to the escapable conclusion that Earth's biosphere is a vast library.

UFO abductees, for instance, may simply have been checked out; some of them are long overdue, but notices have been sent.

Almost all of the works in our library have been pop fiction, instantly forgettable best-sellers on something's list. The overwhelming recent trends towards horror and New Age lunacy are disturbing.

Now and then, though, for good or ill, a narrative comes along that endures.
