Inktober 2019 Drabble #8: “Memory Leak”

“This spell will increase your memory capacity,” said Tecna, “and fix your write errors.”

“Translation, please,” said Nex.

The technology fairy sighed. “You’ll retain more information. This is an upgrade spell I modified for living beings.”

She tapped buttons on her phone, and the visor on his head lit up. The three heard a beep. Then another. Another.

Then silence.

Suddenly, Nex clutched his head and started screaming.

“Nex!” said Aisha, grabbing his shoulders.

The fairies watched zeroes and ones float out of Nex’s head and form a cloud around it. He screamed louder.

“Tecna, turn it off!” yelled Aisha.
