KssssS is a fable for today, which takes reality by the scruff of the neck and then leaves us to look again at the world we live in.
The story is set in the town of Croeso [meaning Welcome], a place where ordinary people do ordinary things - until the Martin family arrive and bring with them a KssssS, then things begin to change.
The KssssS proved to be a small, dark grey box made of some metalo-plastic compound. There were no sharp edges, seams, rivets or joints in the surface. Weighed in the hand, it felt comfortable in the palm, was cool to the touch and heavy for its size. Shaken or held to the ear, it made no sound. There did not seem to be any moving or mechanical parts. In their pockets purchasers found a sheet of paper. Across the top in a peculiarly liquid script was written:
Martia Enterprises.
This is a lifetime guarantee.

Genre: Science Fiction
