End of Life

After accidentally puncturing your skin with a USB drive, a new file has appeared entitled with your name.

'Damn it' Casper whispered as he tried to clean off the blood stain on the USB with his uninjured hand.

He was clearing out the rubbish in his cupboard when he accidentally injured himself. An old USB with rugged metal edge had pierced his left palm, leaving pieces of skin in it. As he cleaned the USB, he wondered if it still works and what was inside it.

Out of curiosity, he plugged it into his laptop waited for the drive to load. There were a few folders in it. It was the thumb drive he had used to save most of his high school projects. It was a long time ago. At the end of this year, 2016, he would have gotten his degree. He started to reminisce as he scrolled through the folders. It was nostalgic.

As he went through the folders, something caught his eye. A folder labelled with his full name, unlike the others. He double clicked on it only to reveal another folder labelled with 'My Life', and a 'README' txt. After years of torrenting games, he proceeded to open the txt file out of habit as it was where he would find the installation guide.

'This folder contains the full life story of Casper Applepen'

'Bullshit', Casper thought.

He went on to open the other folder, which opens up to more folders labelled with numbers and arranged in increasing order.

He clicked the number 14 which opened up and showed another txt file named '14 Years Old'. He opened it without hesitation and began reading through it.

The text was arranged in an orderly manner, starting from January 1st all the way to December 31st. Bullet-points were found under each day; each point describing an event. As he scrolls down, a particular event can be seen repeating throughout the days.

'Puberty', Casper smiled as he thought out loud.

There was no way anyone, not even himself, could have kept such a detailed journal. It was getting unnerving as he kept reading.

A sudden thought hit him.

He quickly went back to the page with numbers and realised that the last folder was numbered 24, his upcoming age. However, it was labelled, '24 - Dead'

He stared at the screen in shock.

After awhile, Casper finally gathered up his courage and opened the folder. He scrolled slowly through the txt folder and all the way to the last line. It read -

A Legend Reborn

Genghis Khan, Vlad the Impaler, and Hitler have risen from the dead and are teamed up to obtain world domination. Your mission is to resurrect the greatest heroes in history to prevent the world's downfall.

It was 2050.

The world is falling to pieces with the advent of the BERM Technology, which stands for Bio-Engineering Remake of Man in short. This technology allows scientist to remake dead man from their DNA. A piece of DNA of the individual is inserted into the BERM cell, which is cultured and grown in the lab. The fetus embryo formed is then placed in a surrogate mother. The baby will eventually grow up to a complete replica of the original. As such, many historical figures such as Albert Einstein, Ellen DeGeneres, Donald Trump has been resurrected this way. To their surprise, these figures retained some of their characteristics when they were alive; Albert was still as smart, Ellen still as funny, and Trump.. well he is definitely not running for President again.

This technology has brought about many benefits to our world. Scientists are able to BERM up past men of unique characteristics accordingly to meet the demand. Brilliant scientists were resurrected to advance science, charismatic and just leaders were brought back to lead the world, charming and familiar entertainers began to fill up our shows again. Of course, all was good and well until someone had the idea to bring back the wrong people.

The world was at chaos now, with 3 men leading the war for world domination.

Casper stirred awake as someone shook him.

'Doctor! She will be due any minute now!' the midwife said in excitement to the sleepy scientist.

'Argh right,' Casper grunted as he got up from the sofa and rushed towards the bedroom in excitement.

The wait is finally over. 9 long months they have waited just for this moment. Today marks the day a hero is born. Someone who will eventually bring down the evil empire that was about to be established by the 3 evil man.

As Casper held on to his wife's hands, she gave a loud and painful shout and exerted all her strength to give a final push. The baby is finally out.

'It's a boy!' the midwife shouted in delight.

'Of course it is,' Casper replied with a laugh as he took over the baby from her.

He carried the crying baby towards his wife.

'What shall we name him?' the tired wife asked.

'Just as he was,' the scientist replied with a beaming smile.

As such, the legend was born again to save the day.
