Exidron jumped at the sound of a voice just behind him, making his bowl cut hair bounce before falling back to lay straight off his round head. He didn’t have to glance behind him, however, to know it was one of those metallic-like voices that often whispered. Not as much as the softer voices, but the metallic were always present as well and now he had to stop and remind himself it wasn’t natural to hear such whispers and tried to ignore them.
Bending down, he picked up another stone and looked to see how flat it was. Finding it adequate, he tossed it, skidding it across the surface of the water for one, two… three hops. Better than his last stone. He was secretly pleased with himself for finding a good sized tide pool who’s water was smooth enough to skip rocks on the beach unlike the wave filled ocean.
