Parsons' Scalpel

The sterile steel scalpel Parsons carries appears incongruous against the alien book’s temporal resistance. As he thrusts it toward the tome, the blade veers away on its own, as if repelled by invisible forces. Its polished surface gleams under the lab’s harsh fluorescence, but the scalpel’s sudden autonomy betrays a deeper conflict—the tool becomes an extension of the book’s sentient defiance against examination.
