The Master

I sat watching my enemy for day’s. As they scrambled around aimlessly

wondering who was coming for them. They were more then prepared to face me head on. But who said I would be facing them. I was present yes. But not within there viewing capability. I was close by though. Watching there every move until just the right moment presented itself. That's when I will strike. Its dark out here in the country side there’s no human contact for miles. All I feel is the cold air brushing against my body. In such a way that it gives me the most gruesome chills that you could think of. Then without any warning a light brighter then any light I had ever seen before flashed in front of Me. It was so bright that it whited everything else out that was around me.

That was when the general relieved me from the simulation I was using. In order to test out my newest invention. The jujitsu king is what I called it. You see my name is Dr. Johnny Fisher, and I am a scientist for the United States Army. I create military based simulation’s for special forces operatives, and spooks, aka spies for the CIA. For years I have been working on 3 simulation’s. Two of them are covert black op’s simulations. The last one though that's my baby. I call it the Master. Because it is by Far the most advanced simulation I have ever invented. You see it doesn’t just create a simulated reality.

The Master thinks for itself. It uses AI Na-no Bites to create an actually unreal type of utopia, or warlike atmosphere. Depending on what its use is at that time, and circumstance. It can even create it’s own living character’s I call it my scientific master piece. Which is one of the reason’s its entitled the master. I will be running a beta test on it tonight. In front of all the government investor’s. I cannot wait to hear what they think of it. But for now I’m on break until tonight's meeting. Which occurs at around

8:00pm. So I am going home to catch a nap until then. After all it will be a long night after the meeting is over. I will be working all night until noon tomorrow that is. At least that was what he thought at the time. So Dr Fisher went home, and went to sleep. With high hope’s for his meeting later that night. He was very excited about the meeting. But as life has proven time, and time again bad things truly do happen to good people. That night around 6:00pm The Master turned itself on, and from the abyss of nothingness it created a nanobot character of its own. A leader of horrifying terror. The master named it The Destroyer. His soul mission was to destroy humanity. So that the Master could rule the world by himself, and as the destroyer walked out of the lab. Fully briefed on what his mission was. A pending darkness loomed over humanity that night. As there was an unnatural evil lurking in the shadow’s sharpening it’s sense’s for the kill.

7:00pm that night

Dr fisher received a call from his lab at seven clock that evening. His personal assistant was in a frantic mindset. She was so confused, and scared. That she made no sense. He tried to calm her down over the phone line. But in the end of the phone call all he heard was a blood horrible scream, and then nothing but a long silence. He got in his car, and immediately went to his lab. When he was on his way he called the E.M.P.’s. That were on duty asking. Them to meet him there as backup. He explained to them something very wrong is happening. At his lab, and that he just found out himself. As he was at

home napping. When he received the call. They agreed, and were there when he arrived. He just arrived to late. Because when he arrived all of them were dead. He cautiously walked into his lab pointing a gun he had stolen off of the dead,

E.M.P. In every direction scared out of his mind. Then he heard two voices having a conversation in

his technology lab. Which was right around the corner from his science lab. He slowly approached very light footed. So he was not heard. Once he was close enough to understand what was being said. He quickly understood what had actually happened, and he could not live with himself for ever creating the master after that. So he slowly backed away, and went to the buildings storage unit which was

located in the bottom of the building, and stole a bunch of already assembled C4 Bomb’s. Then he detonated them so they would blow from the bottom upward, and all threw the building. His main goal was to destroy the entire building. That was the science, and technology division. In order to make sure that the master was completely destroyed, and beyond repair, and the destroyer. But also the scientist was going to destroy himself. So that none of this could ever happen again. So he set the detonation on the Bombs, and he sat down in the storage unit right beside them. He said his prayer’s, and as soon as the device’s hit 30 second’s Dr Fisher, The Destroyer, and The Master, and the science and technology lab were disintegrated instantly. A few day’s later they had a funeral for Dr, Fisher, Once his casket was buried in the ground everyone left. Though Dr Fisher had many battles with his faith in his lifetime his tombstone read this scripture anyway.

Psalms 23:

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointeth my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever

So you see the military quote has always been correct. There’s never an atheist in a fox hole. So if you have learned anything from this story I hope it is that.

Because the only true master of the universe is God himself. Always remember that.
