The Beginners

by Iza Deleanu

The author has placed a warning on this post for language.

Tugging nervously at his face mask, he wanted her to recognize him as she passed by. Jordan mumbled under his mask: "You look at me, bitch! I have to wear this because of you! You blamed this bullshit on me, the crazy scientist who played God, and oops, dropped accidentally this nice bomb on humanity.

She will say, yeah, humanity my foot! The only thing humankind excels in is whining! God made them perfect, but they fucked up in style. They got lazy and preferred to play dead! Now, thanks to you, they can do it for real!

How can I defend myself? It is true I got cocky, but I never intended to be the one who wipes out my own people. Man, I am such a bad hero! I was misled! She said it's just a little experiment, only a hundred people will be tested. What she forgot to say, it's that those hundred will spread to another thousand and another thousand. Those mother fuckers didn't know how to stay home. Now that they had the freedom to travel jumped on the first plane available and seeded the "joy" to other continents and countries."

Suddenly, she stopped in front of him, asking:

"Jordan, is that you? Take that mask down! You know I am immune to this bullshit!"

"You are, but I am not!"

"Silly, I've chosen you, so you are immune as well. We are the only ones left. We are the beginners! Adam and Eve!"
