"Who am I?", the freshley awakened nobody
asked the robed technician. |
"You were one of the people that we were unable to
resurrect with all of the others because culture held so
little information about you", Gene Hacks said wondering
what this must be like to be awakened from death so
abruptly. |
"Are you saying that I am different from mot people,
and do you really expect me to believe that I have been
resurrected?", the experimental subject said with
disdain. |
"You are alive at this moment and that is all that
should be important to you". |
"Alive? How long have I been dead?" |
137 years". |
"I ain't believin' this shit man!" |
"Believe what you will but from here on out you cannot
die!!!" |
"Just what is that supposed to mean?" |
"Just what I said, You are states archeaological
evidence, you may sleep for long periods but you will not
be allowed to die," Gene thought to himelf about how he got
stuck with this job. Nearly 90% of the human race had been
resurrected and here he was trying to bring back all of the
unknowns. What a waste when he could be out there getting
Divinchies autograph, or even Bell's. |
The subject looked around with a kind of blank stare on
his face and said, "let me get this right, you have
resurrected me and there are other people who you have also
brought back?" |
"YUP" |
"This just doesn't make any sense, you people have
actually figured out how to bring us back from the
dead." |
"Awe, it wasn't that hard, more like growing a plant or
riding a horse, you kind of guide the force along. You have
to realize that it is the machine that has brought you back
and we just throwing the straw into the wind", he said
feeling that this was a good enough subject to get into a
lecture about. |
A few weeks later he was ready to go out into public
and meet some of the people around this place. Once he
stepped out of the door a small crowd formed up around him
and one shouted out, 'hey can I relive
your life?', which only confused him more. |
They began asking him questions about what it was
really like to live his entire life knowing that he was
going to die. They said that people who had to die and
where happy with life anyway where super bad. |
Then their conversation turned to the subject of who in
history should be thanked for contributing to the creation
of the Resurrection Machine. Some said the rich other's
said everyone but most said that the regular working man
did the most even though they did not supply the money, for
the things they built and the factories they worked in,
they still did most of the work. It was this work that
pushed progress along. |
Once they got on this subject the crowd began to
disperse since most people were confused about just who
should be credited for contributing to the historical line
of events that lead up to the construction the machine.
