Punishment(3)

You will have just such a change, after that thought settles in your brain, you will fall asleep. You will atone for the crime by enduring this nightmare in your long sleep. thank you

The man's expressionless face moved away from hers to reveal the face of a sleeping man, some unfortunate person like me. A mechanical voice began to describe in clear tones, the explorer of the Rukule Planetary System, just before reaching two hundred thousand miles of the Planetary System. All physical and mental conditions are fully under control.

After a while, the man's face took on a look of discomfort and pain, slowly spreading a kind of restlessness throughout his body. A mechanical voice announced that the man had reached within two hundred thousand miles of the planet. The next change was very slow and took about a week to complete the whole change, but I'll show you that quickly in a moment.

I could not bear the sight of such misery and horror, but I did not know how far the limits of human patience could be stretched. The man slowly morphed into a hideous inhuman form, unlike any animal or reptile I had ever seen, no creature humans could imagine. The monstrous creature writhed in the tiny capsule, unable to comprehend its expressions of pain or pleasure.

I closed my eyes and wanted to scream, but far from screaming, I couldn't even move my eyelids, I had to watch the horror until I fell asleep—there was no escape from it.

Suddenly all my senses began to relax, I realized that I was slowly falling into a deep sleep. My last sleep, from this sleep I shall not wake, But what a terrible sight before my eyes. Someone inside me suddenly rebelled, screaming, I will not sleep, I will not sleep with this horrible scene, I will not sleep at all. In my last moments, I wanted something beautiful, something sweet—and at that moment I remembered that beautiful girl. Touched my hand and looked at me with concentrated eyes, two wonderful beautiful eyes and in those eyes wonder, fear and with it what dark sadness! What is the girl's name? Unasked, alas—never again shall his name be known!

In no time I fell asleep
