Description

A startled physicist finds himself floating in a windowless metal chamber, his only companion a glamorous model who’s been snatched from a photo shoot. Their captors—the bizarre, impatient Cirissins—insist he deliver something called a “high dragon bump,” a phrase that sparks more confusion than clarity. The dialogue crackles with humor as the scientist clings to his curiosity while the model, Sheilah, teeters between fear and flirtation, each trying to decipher an alien request that sounds more like a dance than a scientific term.

Set against the cold backdrop of a spaceship circling the Earth, the story mixes slapstick banter with an unsettling sense of captivity. Listeners are drawn into a surreal puzzle where physics, absurdity, and alien motives collide, promising a quirky adventure that keeps the imagination buzzing without giving away what lies beyond the opening act.
