The Last Plague
The Master of the World, King of power and Knowledge. The Slayer of Beasts, the ruler of all lands he treads upon. Feared by the other creatures of this world, seen as prey and seen as destroyer.
Man has been here the least amount as those underneath him on the food chain. If nature was on a first come first served basis man would be near the bottom. Smarter than most of the others, but physically weaker than even more.
Mankind has survived wars, natural disasters and more. But the thing that still trumps them to this day, is time. Time is the forever reminder of mortality. With all the machines and great thinkers through out man’s history, no one has found a solution to this enemy.
Man has evolved past the
petty ways of his ancestors in many things. Hunting has become
shopping. Protecting has become guns, alarms and nuclear technology.
Family has become temporary. Loyalty has become a market option.
Evolution is a funny thing. It can change the slightest thing to keep a species around for a Millennia. It can decide what is best for a species, even if the species doesn’t realize it.
“They
say ‘time waits for no man’ , I say good. Cause if time waited for man,
things would never change.”- Dr. Reginald Massey, Director of
Biological Research.
PROLOGUE
A delivery room with several nurses and a doctor. The mother to be is crying and screaming. The father is over to the side pacing nervously. Everyone is rushing around and getting ready for the arrival.
Through the pain the woman motions for her strong foundation to support her. The nervous father suddenly becomes the strong pillar.
Holding her hand and at the same time stroking he forehead, he gently kisses her cheek.
The Doctor takes his position ready for the gift to emerge. The Nurses are around him ready, with towels and tools. One has the newborn table not too far away.
Mother gives it one last push with everything she has. The father is telling her encouraging words while she gives it her all. The doctor is holding the precious being. The mother drops her head back down on her pillow, and the father whips her head clean.
The
doctor and Nurses are quiet they are looking at each other in
amazement, and confusion. A nurse shakes her head as if to say she has
no idea.
The parents notice and question this. The staff seems to hesitant. The father gets frustrated and the mother scared. The doctor looks at his nurse once more. He begins to raise the baby into view.
The parents are speechless. They look at each other. The father looks at his wife then the baby.
She shakes her head as she begins to cry. The Father releases her hand, in anger.
The nurses move to the side as the man barges out o the room. The woman reaches for her baby . The Doctor hands over her newborn son. She says a little pray, and presses soft white lips upon the forehead of the small Asian baby.
The Doctors and nurses have no answer for this, they just look.
They Mother holds her baby close and rocks him while tears fall down her cheek.
The husband is walking out of the hospital lobby. He stops looks back and a tear rolls down his cheek. He turns around heading back to his wife and son.
