Chapter Thirty Five: A Stunning Truth

Your past was your heritage and
the foundation on which you were built.
You couldn't start over.
You could only repair and move on.

Terry Brooks, The Gypsy Morph

-o0o-

She was part of that ten terrified people who were witnessing two human beings gradually transform into gruesome monsters. Someone has suggested that they were slowly turning into Vampires, but she couldn't make herself to believe it. Something has caused this gruesome biological reaction, and there is absolutely no way at all in trying to escape the vicious grasp of this poison of nature. At that moment, she was certain that her own death was knocking at her door. It is time.

And she already gave up all hope, anyway. She already cordially accepted her grim fate.

There are many factors that ultimately led her right into this very moment. Although she studied Earth and Planetary Sciences in her memorable years at Johns Hopkins University to receive her scientific training, her unique penchant for Astrology never left her interests. In fact, she was convinced all throughout her life that everything about the truth is hidden, only to be found in the careful revival of Astrology in trying to understand what was actually happening to her own future.


In particular, the number ten has a very lucky place throughout her career. For instance, she graduated at the top ten of her class, both in her Catholic High School and in College at Johns Hopkins, she has been the major recipient of an international award that she received personally at Number 10 Downing Street, the official residence of the British Prime Minister, her college jersey number was also 10 where they've won most of their games quite convincingly, and she once lived at the 10th Floor of a very posh suite in Manhattan with her affluent parents.

If ten is indeed a lucky number that can be attributed to Astrology or only a matter of coincidence, that she could not have been very certain at that point in time. However, she had already learned about a discipline called Numerology which satisfies her obsession with the role of numbers in her life, particularly when related to the questions of destiny, predestination, and the consequences of irrational choices. This part of the story further piqued her interest in matters of future occurences, which is definitely curious despite her strict Western upbringing.

As her eyes never left the first two victims of that horrible disease, the security of the remaining part of that Peaceful Enclosure has been tightened further to prevent any more contamination that may endanger the rest of the population.

Everything became quiet as time passed by, and on the 10th week after the first recorded visible symptoms, the ten remaining people in that contaminated space were already exhibiting the same horrifying symptoms. By then, the two first patients were already completely morphed to the physical characteristics of unmistakable zombies.

She knew at that moment that the end is near.

She simply closed her eyes to wait for her death to happen. She was still too anxious despite her best efforts to calm her self. As the white light started to blind her vision, she heard a subtle click in her head, then her heart started to fail, and at once everything was peaceful.

The deafening silence, after that, awakened her slumbering soul.

Chapter Sixty Two: The Fable Beneath the Enclosure of Minneapolis

 Just as the enclosure called Planet Earth has a wealth of story and narrative to tell, waiting to be discovered by an "anointed one," like a true seer as some might allege at this point of comparative instance; just as a person's mind is littered with all kinds of thoughts and a wide array of options for the rational soul to decide, the newly created enclosures of the so-called New World of America are also full of fables and tales that merit intellectual attention and the discerning eye for a much open sense of literary appreciation. This comes as history is desperately trying to keep the balance of the continuous unveiling of universal timeline, as well as the many periods in the past, and that which holds the valuable lessons that came, primarily, from the victorious strategic demeanor that led to triumph, as well as the several notable failures of the wars that led to the development of military tactics, and the peripheral analysis of political and mercantile powers,...

Chapter Fifty Two: Enclosed

I have learned that if you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved and where all your yesteryears are buried deep, leave it amyway except a slow way, (instead) leave it the fastest  way you can.  Never turn back and never believe  that an hour you remember is a better hour  because it is dead. Passed years seem safe ones,  vanquished ones, while the future lives in a cloud, formidable from a distance. Beryl Markham, West with the Night Renew, release, let it go. Yesterday's gone. There's nothing you can do to bring it back. You can't "should've" done something. You can only DO something. Renew yourself. Release that attachment. Today is the new day! Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience It's not much of a tail, but I'm sort of attached to it. A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh I've been doing this a long time --manipulating people to get my way. That's why you think you love me. Because I've...

Chapter Eight: Arrival at the Peaceful Enclosures

Back in the present day, the initial implementation of Genesis Technology was in full swing. There are many more protests and speeches and court cases initiated by organized women and politicians that has become very repetitive. Day two after the crucial Executive Order takes effect and enter into force, thousands of women arrive at the Peaceful Enclosures in Arizona and Wisconsin, and more States are expected to follow. Although mainly a federal operation, State governments were also enjoined to ensure the success of the application of the discovered benefits of the breakthrough Genesis Technology operation. Women politicians have all sought the floor of their respective legislatures to deliver a speech about the importance of keeping their seats and continue their political participation, as the government is trying to resolve the issue about the technology's universal application and its efficacious use on the health of others, especially the women. Many of them have also held t...
