Carol froze in horror, her heart pounding in her chest. Before taking a seat, George turned and shut the door behind him. He drove straight from the house to the hospital. He was smelling filthy, his face was flushed and he appeared to be burning.Carol maintained her position, silently watching him take off his jacket and unbutton his sleeves."All I want are the right answers to my questions, and I will leave you alone," he finally said, still panting slightly.Carol tried to move her hands beneath her sheets. She was certain her phone was on the left side of the bed. Unfortunately, her trembling hands pushed the phone, causing it to fall to the side of the bed with a bang.George cocked his neck in annoyance.

"DETECTING INJURY," the female voice said as the pearls opened up and collagen sprouted out, covering the entire cut on his figure.Daniel watched in awe, his eyes wide open. He remembered the letter in the wooden box with the relic, stating its healing properties. He sat there, half scared and half amazed at the advanced technology that he was witnessing.His finger stopped bleeding in seconds, and the cut closed up leaving no scar or sign of there being a cut. In awe, he stared at his finger.The relic then turned its attention to his STI device on the floor, declaring again in his head, "DEVICE MALFUNCTIONING," and it quickly began repairing it. All of the components were brought together in seconds, and the system was given a boast which resulted in it turning on. It sampled Daniel's blood which was all over the floor. The watch-shaped device moved and clung to his wrist."CHLAMYDIA, GONORRHOEA, and SYPHILIS Testing on Daniel Lane's Blood," the mechanical voice then announced, an

With the first prize trophy and a cheque in hand, the three friends ran to the back room to celebrate their first prize win, yelling in delight.Everyone, including their classmates, was talking about the STI scanner. Not only was it portable, but it also provided the privacy that most students sought. So everyone felt they deserved the first prize without complaints.The three boys were busy cheering when their class coordinator entered the room, congratulating them.

"Aunt!" Daniel dashed to the side of the bed, hoping to wake her up. "Aunt! Aunt! Aunt!" He kept calling out.The nurses rushed into the room, having gotten the emergency alert on their pagers. They moved Daniel away. "Please move, let us do our work," they yelled at him.Zain quickly moved him away. They both had no idea what was going on. Some seconds ago, she was beaming and eating pizza with them. She was fine and looked good."We're going to lose her,'' one of the nurses said, yelling at the two boys to leave the room. The second nurse quickly paged the doctor."What exactly is going on?" Daniel, who was clearly terrified, inquired. However, the nurses were busy signaling each other as their gazes were drawn to the bloody handkerchief.Daniel noticed the handkerchief as his heart began racing. "What is that?... Where did it come from?" As Zain led him outside, he kept asking. He could feel strong hands pressing against him. They had to leave the room so that the medical staff co

Daniel stood up and looked around the room. It fell silent, he could only hear the beeping of the life support machines. He took a long, hard look at his aunt. She didn't deserve to be hooked up to machines on the bed while he had the Relic."Don't worry, aunt; I'll find a solution," he said softly as he kissed her cheeks. He quickly wiped his tears away as he gathered himself. He needed to read the letters carefully and patiently. Every time he had attempted to read them, he was always interrupted.He walked out of the room, texting his friend Zain of his intentions to go home and freshen up. Zain replied and asked him to take all the time he needed. He arrived at the apartment and read the letters word for word, looking for any mention of full activation, but to his disappointment, none of the paragraphs went into detail.He threw the letters on the floor in frustration, screaming. The details he was looking for were not in there and his aunt who had an idea of what he was looking
