Description:
The Skull Saws The sun began to rise as if it was the last day on earth. I finished my orange juice and reading the paper. March 5th, 2987 was the date printed at the top. Yet amazing how much everything has been taken over by technology there was still a newspaper at my front door every Sunday. The major headline, “The United States prospers again!” was nothing new. We had just finished taking over China and not much of Asia was left for us. My lovely wife yelled, “John come here please.” I really do not understand the purpose of having a wife. I love her and I would never leave her but the reason you have a family is to have kids and carry on your name. That will not be able to happen, women have not been able to reproduce since 2080. A terrible incidence happened to every woman and they lost their reproductive glands. This was a side affect to a gas bomb dropped by China in the beginning of the war. People were really scared and so was the human race, they had the possibility to die off. “Yes dear what would you like?” I asked Mary “Would you please take the check for rent to Ms. Hollar?” “If I have to but if I’m not back in ten minutes call the cops” She began to laugh. Not because Ms. Hollar was mean but for the fact that there was no such thing as a cop and there hasn’t been one in thirty years. I began to think about the chip in my head that held me back from doing any thing bad. I stood in front of the portal shoot. A keypad emitted from the wall. I punched in the building number then the room number of Ms. Hollar. The door of the portal opened. I stepped inside and began to slide to the front door. I got there in about two seconds and sat in awe. The front door was wide open and she was sitting in the middle of the room with what seemed to be a knife in the back of her neck. What in the world, there aren’t any knifes left in the world. They were abolished and disintegrated in the Laser Knife Act of 2910. I caught a hold of my brain and hit the emergency button on my watch. Watches were fastened for that reason, an emergency. Once I figured out that the emergency crew had come, the head crewman began questioning me. He began to ask me questions but I could not keep my eyes off what they were doing to Ms. Hollar. I’ve heard about it but have never seen it. A laser saw was set to her bone only and cut around her skull and took out her brain. Then they put the brain in the transmitter to send it to the lab to be preserved and put in a new body. “You saw no one leaving in an opposite portal?” the head crewman asked me interrupting my train of thought. “No I did not,” I stated and then explained to him why I was going to her apartment. “Thank You for your time,” he said and the left the portal. “Wait!” I yelled. “Yes” he said. “Will she remember this when she is brought back?” “Unfortunately no, she will only remember yesterday and her life before.” I could not believe it when I first heard it. They will take the brain back to their lab and put it in a body cloned. The interesting thing was they could clone everything but a brain so they had to come get them as fast as they could. I began to think, I will never actually die. I will be here forever unless I am not found for a long time. I stepped in the return portal and went back home. “John where have you been!” Mary said when I walked in the door “Ms. Hollar was dead, I saw them take her brain” “Wow! Are you serious?” “Yes and I finally figured everything out , we are the last of our kind!” “If I die and you die I want to be with you afterwards” Mary said That made me think about how much I loved her. I went into the bedroom and sat on the bed. I thought for a long time thinking there is no way to reproduce anymore. We must all be here until we can no longer live any more. We will be here until all natural resources have gone. They already have found a way to create half of them. The world will not be different, the wars will finish and everyone will be the same as if we are invincible. My wife came in and sat down next to me. “Just think, no one can stop us from coming back after we die, we will be young again and we will be able to be what ever we want. “You can do things you didn’t get to do when you where young, you will have a second and third chance, I hope you spend them with me.” The dawn of a new day arose. I got up out of bed, not remembering going to bed. I walked into the shower thinking of yesterday. Once I was out of the shower and dressed I decided to walk to work instead of take a portal. I have not done this in a long time I said to myself as I left the building. I walked outside and stopped dead in my tracts in front of a Hover TV 3000. The bulletin board was about 122 murders that have taken place in the last few weeks. I was amazed, they were all on my block. Then I realized that every one of the brains that has been transported were gone with out a trace. How would the world stop this serial killer? The army then came on in an important message the message read to stay off the streets and to enable security to shut down until the killer was caught. I thought to my self, one walk wouldn’t hurt. I got to my office building and punched in my ID code. The portal then opened for me to go to my office. I got in and immediately left to the portal home. My office was a wreck and there was writing in blood on my wall that said “YOUR NEXT” Once I arrived home I got my wife and enabled the shut down. We sat there scared. “What is going on!?” Mary exclaimed “I saw a message that says I’m next to die” The room filled with silence and Mary casually got up and proceeded into the kitchen. What was going on? How was she not scared like me? I hit the emergency button on my watch and redirected them to the office. The lights went out. It was eternal darkness. I began to freak out and rock back and forth. Then I saw a flash, another, and another! My wife screamed. “Mary!!” I yelled franticly. Oh my god what I going to do. I scrambled to the closet and got inside. I immediately hit the button on my watch again. The darkness filled the closet with quietness that even a piece of paper falling could be heard. All of a sudden I heard a footstep and another. Then the door flew open. The man standing there was big and muscular with the looks of a football player. He had body armor or so it seemed with the words “BONE SAW” on his chest. I began to lean back in fear. “You have been the only one who could stop me from destroying the world” he said boldly. The blade in his hand rose up and I saw that it was a regular knife with a laser cutting edge. The blade flew down, the slicing of the flesh was furious in the sound, and in the pain. “Welcome to my world!” He raised the blade, I closed my eyes and waited for the worst… |
