In the distant 2030's, the current Western society would be summed up in one word: Chaos. The political divide between what is common sense and what are irrational delusions has gotten to the point of lunacy, where families fight each other in the street if they don't vote on the same issues or think the same way as each other. Some people, however, are trying to fix this in their own twisted ways. In America, a woman in here early 50's was on her way to fixing the world in her eyes. She was the leader of an up-and-coming organization under the name "Re:Do-Life", an organization started in New York City, but over 18 years has branched out globally as the lead research and development of drugs and pharmaceuticals. It is a far-left group trying to reach into the realm of immortality. At this moment, she is home getting ready for her debut at the San Francisco Re:Do-Life summit for their amazing breakthroughs.
"Ah, you like that, don't you? Right? Ahhhhh, I'm so glad you're not a full man yet, we can both have fun for a little while longer can't we?" I said in a hyper-erotic voice. Currently, I've had the last 3 days off from work while our benefactors in China, India, and… a certain other country in Eurasia, with the transition of power happening within the company. So I've been playing with my little toys for a while.
"Miss your speech is coming up soon, you should take a shower to get that… smell off you…" My secretary said. I turned around to see her with absolute disgust written over her face.
"If you want to say something, you can, I've never disavowed you from speaking freely to me." I said calmly, though I knew what she was going to say without her saying it. "Miss, to indulge yourself with these children is quite frankly gross and unnerving. If at all possible, if you plan to do it with them, please allow me to know, so as not to walk into this… disgusting scene." She stated firmly, her nose crinkling from the smell permeating throughout the room." My hobbies were taboo of the highest order in almost all societies, but I couldn't help it. Ever since I was a child, I've only liked that. The power and control I can exude is thrilling, and to see them helpless is all the better. "Yes, yes, I will make an attempt. Though after today, I will be stepping down as active chairwoman of Re:Do-Life. So you'll have another sick person to take over… though its a man and I'm ashamed of that." I said with a defeated tone, all the mood and excitement I had previously vanishing while I got into work mode.
"Good to see you taking my words seriously, and I plan to be with you for a while longer… the man you decided as the heir to this company is… to say he's got worse tastes than you is an understatement." She said whilst sneering at me. I knew what she meant. In our progress to learn how to create longer lifespans for the human race, we found out that using stem cells alongside active surgeries for removal and subsequent implants of new and healthy nerves into the nervous system of a human resets the rate at which cellular degeneration happens. But it came at the cost of using select ovum of women and select sperm of men to create pseudo-life. However, my original partner used that to create living sex dolls by rapid aging and the use of such creatures. They were no longer human, and by lobbying in the Supreme Court, Congress, the senate and the current president, we got the approval to classify them as "Living organisms with intellect sub-human", similar to creatures categorized in the same field as the dolphin or the monkey. But his practice was creepy as a whole, far more than mine, I thought…
"Don't worry, Miss Secretary, I will rein him in before I leave. I'll install fail-safes, so he doesn't abuse this power too much to destroy what we've built. Also, after today, my little hobby will unfortunately have to stop. I won't have the protection from our benefactors." I stated, saddened by the prospect. Her facial expression stayed neutral, but I could see relief and worry on her face. I knew she cared for me, we've known each other since university and have never shunned me for my… hobby. I stood up and walked to the door, "Alright, let's get going, this speech won't start without me." She nodded and followed right behind me.
On the car ride to the event, I was inexplicably nervous. For some reason in my gut I felt something off. Was it something I ate that's making me feel this way? We arrived at the venue in under 45 minutes, the car ride was quite comfortable, however this feeling of uneasiness kept gnawing at me. "Miss it's time to go" my secretary said holding the door of the car open. I sighed and walked out. I was greeted by many of our benefactors as well as the man who will be opening this speech. He was a decent guy, although not my type at all. I sighed again and walked onto the stage full of eager spectators. His speech was long and drawn out, he spent 2 hours praising my partner and me for shit we didn't do. It was a collective effort with many sleepless night. Finally, he finished and passed the baton to me. A loud applause erupted causing me momentarily to go back to the pains I've felt. "Come on I can do this, you were born to make this happen." I walked confidently up to the podium and started my final speech as the lead of Re:Do-Life.
"Today we celebrate the government's ruling that humans are only categorized by the birth from an individual giving birth, but not when medically studied and used, that there would only be classified as organic matter," I said in a pleading and excited tone. "We look forward to humanity's innovation, through our company alone we have increased average life expectancy by 40 years, and bodily function by 50 years. Our stem cell and neurological extraction and replacement technologies allow us to become the people we were meant to be!"
A round of applause rang through the crowd. This was to be expected, but still filled my ego with pride. What I said wasn't a lie, the previous barbaric life expectancy was around 80 to now around 120 in just 18 years, and for some European countries, because of our operations and bribery of government politicians, people have been reported to live till 150-160. But something was amiss, I felt a strange knot in my stomach, as if someone was staring dagger into my very soul. I scanned the crowd of pigs and live stock for our experiments, then my eyes locked onto a man who terrified me to my core, a man who single handedly destroyed 5 years of progress in less than an hour, the leader of the far right group named "The Organization". Our eyes locked for what felt like eternity, horror shadowed my face and I stepped back. "I cannot and will not cower in the face of fear" I thought, steeling myself for what is to come. I attempted to continue as if nothing happened, "We… now celebrate the government grants and… the further development of this technology. This is an era of peace and we strive for further equality with everyone. Not just those who happened to win the genetic lottery. I promise to all of you that this technology is for you!" I regained my confidence midway through the speech, which disgusted me but it went off without a hitch. I planned for something like this, so I installed a couple countermeasures to notify guards so they can apprehend the suspicion people in the crowd. It was just about to reach the end, when I end my speech I will rush off stage and leave this nightmare. I saw in the corner of my eyes the silent plan being put into work, 30 men who were ex-navy seals and other ex-special forces came for that man in the crowd, he only just noticed which should give me the time to finish and leave.
"Shit" he said in under my breath, or so I thought. Good, panic you useless man. I expected them to come this quickly but I am astonished by how discrete they are being, maybe I should give them a raise after this is all over. But out of nowhere the man bolted. It shouldn't have been possible, somehow this man who looked like he was no younger than me was sprinting full speed towards… me. More frightening was that somehow, by a work of a cruel God perhaps, he didn't cause a scene. He took no more then 10 seconds to run over 200 feet in less then 10 seconds, I was at a loss for words. Then in a surprising turn of events he didn't kill me, he jumped onto the stage crossing over 10 feet of distance, and… took the microphone out of my hand for what felt like the last time I'd ever speak in my life.
"People of San Francisco, people of the world I come to you today as a representative of The Organization." I was perplexed and afraid where he was going… I looked to my right and left, the peoples faces changed from joy at my speech to horror from his in no time flat. His group, named "The Organization", are a people who cause terror in the hearts of people world wide, despite preaching in the name of world peace and order. "I am appalled by what I witness by the human race today. We are a people of God, made in his image and you dare use babies and the unborn as livestock to what? Live an extra 40 years? How I am disgusted by you all." he said in such a way that my I shivered. I turned back to the people in the crowd once again, and saw that some stood still in terror, some were uselessly praying, and some started to run for dear life. They knew what he and his group were capable of doing, he recently went into China and Belgium causing simultaneous attacks on our major Re:Do-Life centers in Chongqing and Burges.
He continued, giving me a knowing grin, "Today will be the final operation of The Organization, today we put an end to this sick fantasy we call "Re:Do-Life" and bring a new era to humanity. One closer to God, one rooted in the belief and faith of the one mighty creator." he proclaimed like a zealot in the high of salvation. He dropped the microphone and fiddled with his pocket for a second, and what he held out made me except my fate. It was a portable bomb he and his Organization created, a new weapon of destruction that was used in the China and Belgium facilities. "For life, for liberty, and for the pursuit of happiness, may all those who go against Gods wished burn in the fiery pits of hell." He said, then pushed the button. The next second the world went white.
During that encounter I knew I was not going to see the light of day again, I was thankful that it was painless, now I can live out the rest of my existence in nothingness… but something was wrong. I was in a space consumed by white and I… I couldn't feel anything. Not my hands or feet, my back pain or… I can't speak. What is happening to me???
"Children of man, please do calm down" a voice came to me which was… calming it felt like three voices rang in my head all at once. What was going on, who is this person. Panic started to rise again within my soul.
"Children of man, I come to you… deeply disappointed." The voices, now I'm sure, said with exasperation. Who was this voice? Am I being judged?
"To the male, yes, you are for lack of a better term, and to the woman you are neither in heaven or hell." He said, with disappointment laced in his tone. Man though? And there a woman here as well…? Why? What is going on??
"Both man and woman of earth in the country of the United States of America, I come to you to deliver a verdict. If it wasn't apparent I am YHWH, the tri-union god, Jesus, the Holy Spirit… God. However you may refer to me as by Christians of this era, and I bring both of you to me in my own disappointment… I see a light within you two that is greater then any saints and or prophet, a light which I gave you to improve this world. Unfortunately, due to the state of the world, and the environment both of you were in growing up and the people you came across, you left your ways choosing the abhorrent paths you did, causing you to veer from my path I designed for you two. However, I will give you two one final chance. To put it in terms you can understand, your scientists have hypothesized there are other universes, which is true. I have created many universes, ones with different people and races of creatures, flora and fauna, and ones with magic, swords and sorcery. I will be reincarnating you two there to give you a final mission, but it is a hard one that will be filled with many trials and tribulation. You will bring peace and truth to the world of Averna I have created. It will be similar to earth but… harsher. It is more akin to purgatory then anything else I could describe to you." He said, which frightened me to my core. God? Seriously? I haven't believed in such a being since I was a child. Even if God did exist why on earth would he choose someone who didn't believe in him to speak to. What the fuck is going on.
"If you do not succeed in this task, your soul will be obliterated from existence, and you will not have eternal life sitting next to me in heaven." He said with the edge of finality a judge would have giving a death sentience. My metaphorical face paled, I was confused and terrified. I did not understand what was going on let alone what was happening.
"Now my children, I will bring you two to the world of Averna, we will meet again before your respective ends. I know you can and will change this world for the better. I love you my children." He said and the world went dark. I was in a haze, I didn't know what to think.
I felt weird, but mentally I screamed, "What the hell is this? Why am I being reincarnated? God? You've got to be kidding me! Whats going on!"
"It was a womans voice, the other person?" I heard a man say in my brain who wasn't this supposed God, to say I was shocked was an understatement, my disgust reached a new high. So I irritably stated, "Wait you can hear me? Why? Disgusting I can hear all your thoughts you disgusting pig" but I could feel him mentally winced, what was going on?
"Who are you woman, whats goi.." He stated in confusion, but before he could finish his statement, I was blinded by an unbelievable light. I felt feeling coming back to my body, but it was… strange. I felt air touch my skin but… I opened my eyes, I was shocked to see a room of ancient styling, it felt like looking at a 1800's painting. There was marble and gold and beautiful colors above, but I couldn't move. When I tried to move, to say I was shocked would be belittling that word's meaning.
"Congratulation Duke and Duchess, Amaranthine and Siegfried, the twin babies are healthy and safe!"
