The metal doors hissed open as the scientists entered the Observation Chamber, data slates cradled under their arms as they took their seats. The only light was dim, emanating from their slates, and before them loomed a dark mirror that replaced the entire wall. A calm feminine voice spoke from the mirror: Identities Confirmed. Please Stand By... The dark...

Alice could hear that familiar clock ticking again and it was getting louder. Tick, tock, tick, tock. Every hour, every minute, every second, she could hear it. When she was in the shower, when she was biking to work, when she was trying to eat the dinner she made (meaning heating up some crappy microwave dinner) and it was especially loud when she was s...

The last two weeks of inactivity, however, were due to the scientists pointedly avoiding it. It wasn't until just recently that a direct order came from their superiors to continue the research that they were forced to begin the first few p...
My first story based on facts, mixed with fiction. * It all started more than a year ago. We had an appointment at the fertility clinic. Our doctor told us that due to my "lazy swimmers", the chance for us to conceive a child was very low. We discussed the situation and he left us two options - artificial insemination and adoption.
