ET- Mind Reading Across Space

  The Flopglopple gazed closely at him, eyes squinting at E.T.’s forehead. He touched it. “A transmission signal is forming in your brain. Through axons and synapses. I see it speeding off, and time opens.”

  E.T. felt it also then, a telepathic current moving independently from his head. It pierced the dimensions, passed its twin sister, Light, and found the magnetic field of Earth.

  The din was tremendous, of anger, greed, and folly. Within this din was Elliott, trapped in the net of Earth’s madness. “His identity is already blurring,” said E.T.

  “Yes,” said the Flopglopple, tuning in to the transmission. “He is no longer constant with himself. He is becoming just another dull pattern of conformity.”

  “El-li-ott,” whispered E.T., desperate to save his friend. He looked at the Flopglopple. “I must disregard the consequences.”
