Lucy's Party
Unending BE - episode 48785
She invited those who had spread the rumours to a party. She ensured that everyone
would come by spreading a rumour of her own: that a rich relative had died and left
her a fortune; that she would be setting up her own company using the money; and that she would be using the party
as an opportunity to find out whether her "friends" would be interested in filling
various highly paid jobs within it.
Many of the guests commented on the unusual lighting at the party. The heavy-duty
lamps looked more like projectors for some futuristic ray, they said. That was exactly
what the lamps were, of course. As the party got into full swing, Lucy waited impatiently
for the ray to begin to have an effect - for it was not designed to be instantaneous.
She had taken an antidote to ensure her own immunity, of course.
- *She began to notice the first changes in her guests.
- Nothing seemed to be happening. Had she miscalculated?
- *A catastrophic error in her calculations meant that only someone who had taken the supposed antidote would be affected by the ray - ie herself!
