My doctor grinned and offered me two pills, a red one and a blue one.
This one makes you wake up from a nightmare. The other makes you wake up in an nightmare. Choose wisely.
Then he had to answer the phone and left his office. I took both pills and…
… had to save the world. Communist eco-muslims had installed a 20 Gt nuke in the New York underground and time was running out. Two wires led from a battery to a chaotic tangle of electronics, the blue one labeled ‚voltage‘, the red one said ‚current‘. The cutter was in my hand. Choose wisely. I cut both wires and... BLAM…
… moved with light speed. I was a photon on my way to a double slit. The left slit was coloured blue, the other was red. Passing the red one I could solve the twin paradox, going through the blue slit, I’d falsify the wave-particle-dualism. Einstein was giggling. Femtoseconds left. Choose wisely . I stretched myself and passed both slits simultaneously…
… and finally woke up in my bed. What a relief! How doy you feel? Two identical versions of my wife were standing at my bed, one in a red dress, the other in blue. What now? Choose wisely again. What is the difference between you two, I asked them.
Try and find out, they said, #writingprompt #microfiction
Life had gotten complicated ever since the Free Mind folks showed up.
Carmen had dropped off the pills. Blue, stay in the Matrix. Red, see Outside. The Matrix Again guy on TV was saying the Matrix is reality, and we should ban hallucinogenic red pills. Carmen said Matrix Again was a machine-funded psy-op, whatever that meant.
He hesitated, then reached for the red pill; Carmen was really cute.
