Here's a little bit more of the third installment in the Petri Dish Chronicles! As always, the disclaimer is that this is a draft and, as such, it's unedited and likely full of errors and is subject to revision, revamping, and being completely scrapped and rewritten. But, with that in mind, I'm reasonably satisfied with the basics of it, at least at the moment, or I wouldn't have bothered posting it. Enjoy! :-)
Excerpt from Shifting Paradigms:
He led them over to a seating area. A couch and several chairs arranged around a decorative rug with a small table on it appeared out of seemingly nowhere. The space was centered around a stone hearth with a flickering flame dancing among several charred logs of wood. Gesturing, Vlad indicated that Petri and her friends should sit.
Once everyone was settled, Vlad focused his gaze on Petri, once again. “Alright, Per Dish, let us try an experiment. Perhaps your experience upon entering this room was the result of a connection with the rainbow; perhaps it was not. Let’s see if we can recreate the phenomenon. Can you alter the intensity of the fire? Make it larger or snuff it out?”
Petri blinked in surprise. “I don’t know.” Giving her one of his cold, almost-smiles, Vlad said dryly, “Try.”
