“Damn it!” shouted someone, “Another failure.”

This man was the leading scientist in the field of Neuroscience. He started of with finding a way to be able to allow all humans to be able to learn knowledge at a very fast pace.

He created a machine called Omnigear as when a person wore it, he or she would be able to learn all the information that was installed within it.

Needless to say this caused all schools to be of no use and were demolished and replaced by office buildings or turned into parks.

He was widely acclaimed as a great person but also scorned as some people were able to use it for their nefarious needs.

They twisted the machine to be able to brainwash others to do their own doing. Many wars happened as a result of this and more than half the population of the world died within decades.

The lines of countries were also changed, some grew larger, some grew smaller, and many others disappeared from the face of the world.

The man was currently in a process to try to fix what he had inadvertently done.

In front of him was a person who was brainwashed by a group of people who wanted this scientist dead. On his head was another Omnigear only it had a different aim in mind.

The scientist had a hypothesis that if one is able to place information with this machine then there is also a way to remove information.

Sadly the experiment was not a success and the man was currently dead as the Omnigear heated up and caused the man to die.

Our scientist then left the experiment room leaving his assistant to handle the clean up.

This man was nothing compared to our scientist. He was mediocre, unmotivated, simple. That was the main reason he was hired. He had nothing to lose or gain from betraying the scientist.

Although he was simple, he was gentle. He felt sad for the dead man as he was used for the human experimentations.

He proceeded to do his work, erasing any trace of the man’s existence and brought him to his home.

The scientist was too proud himself to do anything with the body so he instructed his assistant to bury the body in his own backyard after cremating him in the room created by the scientist under his assistant’s home.

The assistant was just about to cremate the body when the roof above him came crashing down.

It crushed the cremator and caused an explosion that blew him away.

The roof was crushed by a plane with an insignia of a group that wanted the scientist dead. It was a bird, a strange bird that you wouldn’t be able to see on Earth.

The assistant laid there on his back. His legs were crushed by debris from the plane. His arm was cut from one of the shattered wings of the plane and his body was badly burnt.

He laid dying for a man that caused the death of his assistant and countless others. He knew what he was doing but he couldn’t do anything about it. He was powerless to do anything.

But even if he did, his true nature was simple. He cared not for wealth or power, he just wanted to enjoy life.

His life didn’t allow that. He thought about what his life was and how it became this way.

Life was unfair to him but that is life.

And then he breathe his last…

Oh and his name was…
