Unexpected
By Leesa Perrie
Three months after arriving in Atlantis, a search team came across a
room unlike any they had seen before during their searches of the
city. Not a lab, or a control room, nor living
quarters.
Not medical, not even a room set aside for exercise. No, this
room was different.
There were tables arranged around the edges of the room, with
comfortable upholstered benches along the walls behind them, and a
combination of chairs and stools on the non-wall side of the tables,
and around other tables set throughout the middle of the room.
On the walls around the room, there were pictures, soothing paintings
of landscape and sea; soaring mountains, hidden valleys, mysterious
forests, surging oceans. The lighting was muted, but not
dark,
just softened.
At one end of the room, was a long, high table, with high stools placed
in front of it, and shelving along the walls behind it. There
were also low level refrigeration units at the back of the high table.
There was a mirror behind the high table, and the shelves and
refrigeration units contained bottles of…something, as well
as
various shapes and sizes of glasses.
The search crew were stunned into silence and awe.
The Ancients had a pub, a bar, a place of drinking…but the
awe turned to horror quite quickly.
The expedition had no alcohol…
The next day, several scientists were found to be missing…
And a still was born…
The End
Author's Notes:
A
stupid little idea that my husband is to blame for…I wanted
to
find an ending to a story I was writing and he not-so-helpfully
suggested that they all went down to the pub for a
pint…(yes,
we’re British)!
