Pebble

By Josie Gowler

How did I know? I’m feeling magnanimous, so let me explain.

Your shape-shifting CRISPR gene edit was good. But your vocal inflection was all wrong. No amount of acoustic dampening will make up for that.

And your gait hadn’t really changed. Such an old-fashioned thing to be caught out on, by an old-fashioned police officer like me… Besides, I know you better than my own children.

So you can take that low-tech pebble out of your shoe right now, Danny. You’re going to prison. While I return the old master to the family you duped. Not bad for your kid sister.
