@mariebauwens is a brand new Steemian, who seems to participate in awesome contests (such as this one). Show her some love!
If you're really awesome, you can resteem this voting post. I'd like to give this contest some more exposure. That way I can give bigger prizes to the winners, but more importantly: more people will be inclined to try and write a short story. The more the merrier right? :)
Unfamiliar with this contest? You can find the original post here.
Thanks @beordo for the nice shout-out. Thank you for giving me the chance to participate.
Haha, thank YOU for writing such a wonderfull entry :)
You're quite welcome. Should I vote? Obviously I'd vote for my own.
Sure!
Vote for @mariebauwens!
This is her entry:
Shady Transaction
Give me a moment, trying to find my words.
Been a long night.
It all began 17 years ago, 2238. Seems like a lifetime ago. ELKON they called it. Promised it would replace the need for food. Just one little pill. Invention of the century. Food shortages were as common as polluted air back then.
So, eh, sorry, I’m a little out of breath.
Yeah, in the beginning.
For a while, everything was great. No more need for food, who could be against that? Seems like the greatest invention of all time, doesn’t it? That’s what we thought. Took two years. Hallucinations, it happens you know. Nobody suspected it with ELKON. But when the looney bins started filling up…
And there were other side effects too. Memory loss, convulsions. Some just went plain old crazy. Going back to eating food though, no way. Food production was way down, but even then, people wouldn’t have traded their daily dose for gold if you asked them to.
Always told them not to touch it. To stay away from that poison. They would listen, couldn’t really. Called me crazy, a lunatic. Well, this crazy lunatic just managed to buy one of the last pure doses of ELKON. Gonna save all of humanity! Or maybe I’ll feed it to my cat. Who knows… I’m crazy, right?
