Story time Sunday

 I have always been into stories. Since I remember myself I remember making up stories and books and getting inspired by my favourite writers. Lately I needed a little bit of a push to help me keep going and thought I might as well share my stories here, with you and you can be my judges. This way I feel motivated as well as be judged by others. So I’ll try to write as often as possible.

Here it is:

It is common knowledge that the nature of human is greedy. Everybody knows it and yet no one ever admits it. Do you know why? No? Because they don’t want to, they believe as long as they don’t say it, it isn't true. They believe, no, they hope, they can keep silent long enough to fix themselves. Become purely good creatures. They don’t want to admit how they feel, what they would really like to do…

Oh, if they only accepted it, they could work with it, truly try to be something that works. But it was in the nature of the human being to admit that he or she is wrong. They would only do it if they had no other choice. But on the other hand, who could blame them? If you admit that you are wrong in most human societies you end up banished from them or locked in a cell if not worse.

He turned towards me. His face looked like that of a man that had witnessed the world burn. That’s probably because he HAD watched the world burn. Suddenly I remembered why I was here. I remembered who the man before me was. Surely, how could I forget?

 Everything began with that conference of genetics in Rome. I remember it clearly.

My life was about to change at large, our team had come up with an important substance for a hyperactivity medicine. That was, at least what the doctors of the team supported. I was in the public relations team so I didn't really care whether the doctors had actually come up with something or not. All I cared for was to persuade the investors to buy our medicine. If only I had listened to them, get them to explain the consistency of their medicine, maybe I could do something about my current situation. I remembered how all of the doctors of our team seemed ecstatic with their new drug and had amazed everyone in the conference room, until a little girl with red pigtails came to the room from the other team of doctors. I remember them talking and then yelling, I think some of our doctors said that what they were trying to do was unethical and completely impossible. I remember a mask being passed to all of us except from one doctor of their team. We all wore them and then watched the impossible happening right in front of our eyes. The girl was vaccinated with a clear vaccine and then looked at the doctor and ordered him to cut get a glass of water for her and then fall off the window. We looked shocked as the man did everything and got himself by the brim of the window. The girl was ordered to stop. I remember she looked at us with the calmest eyes I have ever seen in a child. And then panic was everywhere I remember everyone running to the windows and falling off, I was the only one that survived, I couldn't understand why then. I remember the girl being really surprised when I wasn't following her orders. I remember her yelling at a doctor to kill me and him walking towards me. I panicked and run towards the exit. Towards the light of the sun out of that room that seemed to have come straight out of a nightmare.
