If there is the chance that humanity would be happy for the sacrifice of the little would the majority deny or accept that happiness?
If we could make the malice and hatred of people to fuel children's creativity and happiness, the hope of the future should we sacrifice our brethren?
If we could make a select few succeed will sacrifice themselves... would anyone...
No. Would I sacrifice myself for the benefit of humanity?
The warmth of the sun lingered through his skin, the freshness of the air swaying throughout the lands as though it were swaying and inviting an emotion so foreign, chirps of birds as proclaims that the lands were valor and courage of our ancestor bore a fruit for our future, and echoes of laughter as It provides a promise of smooth sailing for the following generations. Memories of Childhood Happiness which Reid something he could not muster the courage to begin relive. It lasted like a memory but the pain of remembering it brings nothing but the cruelty of sadness, Ethan is lost and desperate, his hunger and greed for the so called "benefit for humanity" could not be satiated, his pride and ego cannot handle that Reid cannot be a part of pillar of humanity.
He thought about such things outside while walking through the rain towards his home after another stressful shift for the corporate work, the umbrella accompanies him and protect him from the droplets of insecurity and doubts.
but such protection wouldn't last because even though deflected it would still make ripples to the ground, just like the ground, the ripples of doubt and insecurity Reid began to think to himself about strange things happening and doubt the goals of his work.
"This doesn't make any sense the a pharmaceutical company to give a high degree of homeless free housing without a return of investment while the other employees speculations were that it was due to Marketing purposes, I still can't understand why... No I can't remember why do I need to submit lab reports of certain people and the management of these people are in coded by number as if they were prototypes of products. Although I'm very curious but why should I interfere in the business of others I'm just paid to handle this job."
Reid came a stop at the front of his house and about to rest inside after a restless night organizing the lab reports in the lab until a call from his manager was on the dial
All Reid can do was grumble and
"Khm.. Khm.. Hello Sir what do you need from me?"
"Didn't I specifically tell you that the lab Report of the kids should be in my desk today or did you forget about it again?"
The person in the dial exudes as authoritative voice akin to a fierce lion's roar filled with pride and ego, This got Reid slighty terrified as he actually forgot to hand in his report and currently it is at his desk.
"Erm... Si-sir it seems like I forgot to hand it in. I think it's on my desk right now, If it's possible can you move the deadline until tomorrow?"
"No"
"Pretty please? I promise I would put it there with coffee and the paper in pristine state"
"I said no and if you said something about moving the deadline again, you'll kiss your job goodbye because you're fired."
"Alright sir, *Sigh* will do. I'll put the lab report by today."
*Clink*
[Got Fucking dammit, My travel expense took a toll again I might eat instant noodles again, I really should take a rest from Gacha]
Although pissed, Reid could only comply to the demands of his manager he made a quick destination to his desk in the company and made the destination to his manager's office.
After putting the lab reports in his manager's desk and as Reid turned around,
he had overheard terrible screams humans some plead while some just scream profanities from anger it resembles the squeal of an animals from an animal pen after some seconds it was drowned out by the sound of a machine which sounds terribly odd because it produces the sound of gears mixed with sound of something gnashing meat.
With fear and caution guiding his insights and actions, he decided to just ditch and act as if nothing ever happened, realistically there are times where it would be better to live to leave things to unknown, as the saying goes "curiosity kills the cat" heart throbbing, eyes twitching from left to right, Reid strides towards the exit and as he was nearing towards it, the relief of survival and adrenaline made him run towards the exit.
Until He woke up
Reid holding his pained and throbbing head, he looked around his surroundings judging from it he's in a psych ward the white shirt resembling a subject of a mental illness, a liminal room padded with soundproof pillows, a piece of paper and pencil as his outlet of hope and dreams.
The stench of life as it leaves screams, tears, and possibly desperate pleads for freedom where said within the rooms and the conscious mind could not comprehend time within the liminal nature of confined lifeless space as it breeds melancholic dreams.
All o f these can significantly describe Reid's surrounding, yet he is headstrong and still sane even after these description, maybe Reid is already crazy or better yet his insanity is the conduit for his headstrong nature. As he stares towards to the void, the void stares back at him.
"Would You Sacrifice Yourself and hear the malice and hatred? and unto death, men shall honor your bravery and women shall weep for your sacrifice and as you turn to the solace of darkness, the light shall guide your way to the "promised greed" and erase your knowledge of your past existance leaving you a fresh start "
"Or save yourself until the very earth you walk turns to dust, leaving you within solace of darkness with unsurpassed capabilities of thinking yet no companionship to life."
"I guess I got no other choice, then give me all that you got you fucking piece of shi- ACKKKKK KUAHHAHAHAAHAHHAAHAHAHA"
A nervous yet chaotic laugh came from Reid as his body started convulsing, a transformation has began.
