Featuring my sci fi/horror short story "Madman Across the Water"
In his grand experiment to prove dissipation-driven adaptation, the origin of all living things, did Greg Emmanuel unlock the secret to eternal life?
Emmanuel watched as Osman’s feet, then his legs, began to change, to transmute into a substance that somehow looked like stone and water. In some fantastic manner, Osman’s matter, the atomic structure of his being, was altering into another form altogether different from anything known.
The change in his body marched upward, from his knees up his thighs to the core of his body. As Osman screamed over and over, the transformation progressed making his appearance unimaginable: a rock in one second, fluid another.
Then his whole form went a blaze of red. In what seemed as though he had turned to plasma, Osman became a pillar of a kind of liquid fire, as if a solar burst were conducting with the matter made of an ocean current. Emmanuel shook his head in disbelief, either his senses had deserted him or those same senses had no capacity to comprehend the events unfolding before him.
