The End

Motivation

By Jonathan LemusPublished 5 years ago 3 min read

The start of the end, A scientist named Ronnie Winn, made a machine to create a better world. Started off as a side project for himself, name “Bigger Heart”. The world was for his family, so Ronnie kids wouldn’t see what he saw growing up. His three kids named Ace 24, Valentine 17, and Paul 15, they all carried a heart shaped locket but different designs. They all have one because of their late mother who was killed in the White House working for the Government. A new world where there wasn’t nothing but world peace. So our creator would be proud of us, no drugs, no death. Ronnie regrets letting his wife go to work that day, he seen the pain she was in but nothing would stop her from working. He got a job at NASA, a year after her passing, him too working for the Government as well. Ronnie and his wife always wanted to live a life where nobody had to worry about money or a rich person being too greedy with theirs. Valentine always asking Ronnie “Why did mommy have to died?” So he started working the project after his wife died, promising her one day her vision would be true. One afternoon, he was working on “Bigger Heart” on his lunch break, his manager Angel, seeing the name of it. Angel thinking to herself his trying to save the world. Angel knew Ronnie’s wife, which Ronnie didn’t know. Some people wanna save the world, others just want to see it burn. Ronnie’s wife wouldn’t sign some of the props. The props that she wouldn’t sign are killing the world. Keeping the homeless as homeless, no taxes on the rich, destroying the people’s rights. Letting America kill 3rd world countries and UK as well, and taking over. The project is like having “Heaven on Earth” but one mistake Ronnie left in the project was the opposite. Finding that mistake a reserve engineering it will bring more madness to earth before the population knows what to do. One little detail was missing.As soon Angel found out, what Ronnie was doing she was surprise. He was explaining to her what “Bigger Heart” does, it could control the weather, natural disasters, wealth, viruses, etc. They key to start it was “missing”. He knew he told her too much. As soon everybody went home, Angel and her personal team of scientists, broke into Ronnie’s lab. They took all the data. Next morning, Ronnie got to work everything of the project was gone, nothing was left behind. Ronnie went to security and ask for video footage of his office around 10:15pm-10:30pm, no footage was collected, his lab or the surrounding of his lab. He had no expectations of Angel doing this, but thought to himself, How would somebody know to cut out the cameras in his area? Unless it was somebody on the inside, but again not Angel, she’s a manager she would never steal or lie to a employee. 10 feet below the building, where Angel took “Bigger Heart” to see if her team could reserve engineer and see what kind of damage could it do if was unleashed by “accident” but her not knowing the key was lost. Small details were hidden in Ronnie’s lab just in the open but every tiny though. Later that day, Valentine seen Ronnie down with his head on the family table laying down. She ask if everything was ok or not, he goes no. Ronnie told her everything from the project to the details he was hiding. Then, Paul and Ace walked into the room with them. So with all of them sitting in one room, thinking how they were gonna pay the mortgage and bills this month. With Ace being the oldest he offer to pay for everything, knowing he only had a part time job and also had a side hustle too. Working at Footlocker, only making 1200 every two weeks, wasn’t bad for only a part time. Back in the lab, Angel and her team did finish the reserve engineering and found out the mistake Ronnie left. It was another world, the underworld, meaning letting “Hell on Earth”. But, to let that happen she needed the key to start the damage, the only missing item. She couldn’t find in the lab. So Angel looked closely to Ronnie’s office, looking for that key. The only thing closely to a key was the heart shaped necklace on Valentine. So later, Angel spotted Valentine walking home from school.
