In a dark room, I sat waiting. Fearfully dreading the unknown future that lie closely ahead. The darkness was conflicted with a dull green light flooding out of 4 computer monitors. The sickening glow of advanced hardware faintly illuminated the face of a pale man. He sat terrified, chained to a metal chair. A terrible muffled cry pierced through the black piece of cloth covering his mouth, and echoed throughout the compressed quantity of space that surrounded him. He was trapped, forced to wait for his own death, but It wasn’t death that caused his dismay.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBeAvOqSua
Elevated above the pale man, was placed an alabaster clock. Supported by four nails, Twelve Roman numerals surrounded the circumference of it. Faded by time, the uppermost digit, scarcely visible, stood as both the memory of the past, and the uncertainty of the future.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDmtbokZZg
Eleven forty four, the clock read, as both the minute, and the hour gradually beat ever closer to the mysterious forsaken figure on the highest point of the clock.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxwwnoEZpq
Four monitors, shimmering with a bright fascination surrounded an immense, majestic cylindrical capsule filled with 412 liters of a murky solution. The dark blue fluid sat completely motionless waiting to seep into the mind of a dying man. A metal ramp, attached to the capsule led to the top where a man could enter.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG2vhxjHqO
Twelve men were watching the murky solution in intense anticipation. Pens were ready to record whatever may happen. Amongst the twelve scientists, my brother, ranked as leader.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTrenCDHCC
John, My brother, was the pure essence of knowledge. He would not let anything slip by him without fully understanding it. If there was anything he didn’t understand completely, he would do unspeakable things to obtain the information. A small revolver was recklessly placed in his lab coat pocket.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnatTxSyxi
As the clock beat, every passing second meant hope, excitement, and wonder to each the twelve observers. But for me, and the pale man, time brought nothing but dread, and despair. I found myself trying to grab hold of every moment to use as a barrier to protect me from the nearby future.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOZ1kgzEYZ
“Monitors?” My brother asked.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRTU5gxIX9
“Ready” One of the scientist replied.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVxvpr2iZz

Four scientists walked to the pale man. Looking to the clock, the pale man’s body tensed. The scientist unbound the test subject, while three other scientists began to uncover the capsule.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIdO6Hbb27
The pale man was ripped from his chair, and his arms forced behind his back He was pushed onto the ramp, and lead to the top.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdBV3yVGec
Three of the gloved scientist stretched a clear plastic sheet behind the head of the pale man.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzTMxy6wCQ
John grabbed the silver revolver from his pocket. He loaded the weapon.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4z2SFK3RN
The sound of a gunshot echoed through the cramped darkness. Red fluid from the head of the pale man darted, covering the clear plastic sheet.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡav0Mq4lmKz
After quickly disposing of the clear plastic, the scientists quickly forced the pale corpse into the murky solution, and closed the capsule.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy9slH1sdD
The fluid eagerly entered the newly contrived hole in the head of the test subject. The sound of the expensive monitors brought the excitement, and pain of truth to the otherwise ignorant room. The clock ticked ever closer to the dreaded, and anticipated twelve o clock.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2HR4AxPDo
Seizing the sequence of binary code received from the fluid, the monitors went completely black. The clock beat twelve times.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOTCBkGWGr
A small fleck of beautiful white appeared in the dead center of each of the four monitors. Scientists began scribbling what appeared to be complete non-sense onto their observation pads.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf0GIlnJNA
The light began to grow. The sound of the computer systems increased in volume. The clock forced its way closer to midnight which was now lightly obscured by the pale man’s blood.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6D5XIFuxj
The white light that seemed so small, and utterly insignificant now filled the entire screen. The systems were louder than ever. The 12 scientists began scribbling frantically.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡT98NMJ7tGO
As the fluid leaned to decipher the information, the image cleared up. A bright figure stood near the center of the screen.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc4VTMggw4
“The afterlife!” Said John.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUav08dFDK
A deafening sound was made by a failing computer system.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwU8kHRrax
The glass shattered. The dark fluid now covered the ground. The pale man was no longer kept in men’s bondage.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5Kk0D7gUD
My brother fell to his knees.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMyvhyEueh
“Failure.” He repeated.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeOam8RdA1
“No man hath seen god. There is only one path, a man can take, to see Him.” I said.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ7wb79io4
His eyes widened in understanding. A grin crept upon his face. He now knew how to find his answer.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJQvf73TCh
He opened his mouth, and filled the space between his teeth with a small silver bullet.copyright protection60ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRvZ1R8T5I
