Machinating the Manger Scene

I dreamed once a future with Mary and her long claws suspended from a dragon body captive and held by force field hidden beneath a big cowled robe saddened by a stainless steel trough and a baby tended by robots. Joesph busily scanned nametags from angels misting purifiers. The drummer boy stood by self-playing digital drum and keyboard while field hands guided home cattle with drones directed by a joystick. The tri-satellite video capture appeared simultaneously on all earthling implants and all tipped with a click and smile but when the three kings zoomed in from Mars on hovercraft, everyone reposted. Alas, it was all an eggnog induced hallucination cured by my analyst mind wipe. Merry Christmas Techies. 11/24/2018

Sheri, your techie write was very imaginative! Lines such as: saddened by a steel trough and a baby tended by robots,” image of the drummer boy and the field hands with their drones! Congratulations on your win in my contest!
