Kepler's 'Brahe': A Short Story

Improved Essays
Two hours left before I administer the last set of microinjections. I loaded a set of Kepler’s works to play, as I meditate. If I touched his mind before, I should touch it again. Maybe Brahe’s nose will work as a meditation point. Imaging planets with noses should emphasize the motion and remind me of Kepler.

How did the experiment go last night? You don’t classify as roadkill anymore because no one would eat you, now. See, the sky’s buzzard free.

Nothing went right.

I figure that when I found you hiding here. It’s your hidey-hole. People can’t even see you standing, with all theses freaking bushes. Did you tape the experiment? I could use another laugh. This fucking tape promises to hold even more rip-roarers, than the last.

This should make you happy. Come on, we can use mom’s office again?

So what happened?

I ended up in the wrong head. I aimed for Kepler but landed on Brahe.

Who’s Brahe?

I could use a bigger, bedroom, too. This shelf holds the vibes from other designers; which, I study and this shelf holds my prototypes.

Did you finish my NSYNC set of vibrators?

Yeah, they're over there. Leave me one, I may want one for my marketing campaign.

What marketing campaign?

I’ve tinkered around with making sex toys, but now I plan to launch a business.

Cool.

Even cooler, check out my banana.

Uh, it’s pink.

That’s my promotional campaign.

A pink banana?

Turn out the light and move aside; my banana doesn’t share the spotlight. Now, watch it strip.

A self-peeling banana with its own striptease music, kind of clever. Who’s the Burka Barbie?

She’s my Inanna. The seven peels represent the seven veils.

So you made an Inanna banana.

I made her more than just a banana; take her home; she'll do much more than your boy band boy toy. Promise to try her.

Sure, I’ll use her as a warm up act and Timberlake will handle the finale. She reminds me of Oscar.

Yeah, I got the idea from the

    A spiral galaxy is a certain kind of galaxy originally described by Edwin Hubble in his 1936 work The Realm of the Nebulae and, as such, forms part of the Hubble sequence. Spiral galaxies consist of a flat, rotating disc containing stars, gas and dust, and a central concentration of stars known as the bulge.(Sloan) Spiral galaxies resemble spiraling pinwheels, nearly 77% of space consists of spiral galaxies. Though the stars and other visible material contained in such a galaxy lie mostly on a plane, the majority of mass in spiral galaxies exists in a roughly spherical halo of dark matter that extends beyond the visible component, as demonstrated by the universal rotation curve concept.

    I enjoyed the lower Manhattan fruit vendor in the story “ The Banana Man Of Lower Manhattan” By Corey Kilgannon which is an embodiment of prolific understanding of the writer’s knowledge of creative character analysis as expected in a character sturdy, a good literary work, espousing the essence of true short story . The character, Abdulhamed Kharma a syrian immigrant of 28 years is my favorite, his enthusiasm, charm, charisma, above all in a short period he was able to create a cutting edge slogan – niche for himself “ The Banana Man” cutting across all strata of clientele from “well-dressed office workers, dusty construction workers and wide-eyed tourists” catching even the attention of New York Times, online video which catapulted his…

    The duplicated images of this colour in Life of Pi conveys that each of the significant objects and animals that appear to Pi throughout his story will work to keep him safe until returning to safety. These various objects, animals, and the personification of Pi in Richard Parker, all use the colour orange as a symbol that represents the eventual return of Pi to safety, despite the fact that a specific colour is not normally associated with representing protection. Material objects are what more commonly represent safety, which ranges from emergency vehicles, to knee and elbow pads that a child may wear when initially learning how to ride a bike.

    Botanical Garden Observations On this Wednesday evening at 1800 on October 05, 2016 I am at one of the most prestigious popular hotels on the Las Vegas, NV strip. I am at the botanical garden where a new world is created with flowers and other natural resources to create wonderment for the current season; each season is changed and every year is different. While inside the botanical gardens I first want to soak up my environment with my eyes closed; I can heighten my senses to the various sounds and smells and get a varying perspective on my area. Once I experience the area with my eyes closed for about ten minutes I then want to touch as much as I can and look around.…
