The Human Race

 It was just an ordinary day as Daniel was walking, taking a stroll across his favorite park, watching the birds and the leaves swaying in the wind. He knew of course that a storm would come in an hour or two, but then again, did he really care?

But then something happened that he had not expected, the storm rose up from amongst the clouds and hail the size of thunder bolts could be seen, like meteors over an Armageddon of the planet earth. He ran.

Of course he was running, the implant in his brain notified him of anything he wanted, and had never failed him either. But nothing of this sudden change of weather had come to him, but of course, there never were any changes in weather.

Like everything else in the world, the weather stations had been perfected eliminating any chance of anything unexpected.

There must have been a mistake his brain told his legs, “Run from here, run, run, and at home we will be safe.” So his natural impulse was to run, run as fast as he could, so that Armageddon would be blocked out, with the shield surrounding his house.

Perhaps someone might wonder why the shield protecting the city had not come on, and what a good question this is, but of course like all things, nothing was ever a surprise to the human race, for they had perfected all computers, all processes to involve every bit of matter, any fluctuation was always predicted and proved the perfection of the computer.

The human race lived like this, perfect in a fact that no one ever died accidentally anymore of natural cause, this equilibrium that the computers told us, in the way that we humans, could enjoy life and never care anymore.

Daniel, being thought this from his implant, therefore was surprised at the change, and so he ran.

His home was just around the corner, only a few feet away. He could hear the base from the hail hitting the ground as if he could see the sound waves like drops of water in a pond, the quaking rift jetting off each piece of water.

He was scared, but almost home, just a couple more steps…
