So yeah, here it is, I hope you enjoy it.
The Vat
A middle aged
mother entered the room holding a silver gun. While she walked
through the room she passed rows of people in vats. The people
floated in the green fluid inside the vats. They were all in
artificial comas, with air masks wrapped tightly around their faces.
She went from a walk to a run as she became more nervous around all
the vats. After a few minutes of running she stopped at a large,
imposing vat. She breathed a gentle breath and held her beating
heart.
“Thank God
she's still alive!” the mother said while she looked at her eight
year old daughter. Even inside the vat the daughter kept her
beautiful brown hair and gentle blue eyes.
“So, what are
you doing?” mumbled a deep voice. The woman turned around to see
the imposing figure of the security guard of the facility. Though she
could tell from his uniform that he was a military guard. The guard
pulled out an old, worn gun. It resembled like an antique, it looked
a hundred years older than it actually was.
“She's coming
with me, and there's nothing you can do to stop me!” the mother's
hands shook with fear as she raised the gun at the guard.
“Your
government agreed to sell her to us for experimentation. If you take
her back, your government will just sell us a replacement.” he
looked her sternly in the eyes. “Are you so selfish that you would
sacrifice another person's child for your own?” The mother looked
at the ground, her eyes filling with tears. Every precious memory of
her daughter flew through her head in that single moment.
“Yes.” she
said while a bullet flew from her gun into the guard's heart. She
turned her eyes away from the guard to her daughter in the vat. She
had already stolen the code to open the vat before she went into the
room. After a few short seconds the vat drained and opened, freeing
her daughter. The daughter stumbled out of the vat.
“Mommy, those
doctors, they're not nice doctors, they hurt me.” the daughter said
with her pupils still shrunken from the drugs in the vat. The mother
hugged her close.
“It's all
over. We can go home now, though we'll have leave quickly to make
sure the bad doctors don't come for you again.” the mother led her
daughter out of the room, making sure not to look at the guard laying
cold next to the vat.
I'm proud of you for continuing your work, in spite of the challenges you face.
