| 2: Out Of Circulation |
[Oct. 30th, 2007|03:13 pm] |
They made the barefoot girl turn out her pockets at the police station. The desk sergeant wrote down the following items on the possessions form:
A false fingernail with a video screen on it. On the underside is the term "Nokia F302." Described by detainee as her "fashion phone."
A multicoloured disk two inches across and a stylus, both branded "Chanel."
A small slug in a perspex case stamped with the biohazard symbol. Described by detainee as her "bio-dosimeter" or "canary box."
A soft credit card with a detectable pulse.
A tube the size of a lipstick that turned into a nine-inch human penis (black) upon depressing the button on its base.
A sliver of brushed steel, sticky on one side, an image of an apple etched on the other, described by the woman as her "iPod Atom."
Five American coins to the apparent value of forty-four dollars and fifty cents, bearing the face of Arnold Schwartzenegger.
"The thing about being abducted by aliens," she said, "is that they know where to put you back, but not when."
On a tinny radio in the back room, EMF were singing "Unbelievable."
