Yeah, I have played the trick. To escape from a fight or any such situation, just praise the woman involved. I did the same. Now even dad won’t be able to say something about me fazing while eating dinner. Mom repeated with a smile, “We were speaking about how we wanted to hold our grandchildren in our hands, so you should marr
The next day, I woke up at five in the morning. I was woken up by the call on my mobile. I drowsily picked it up and saw the caller id. It turned out to be Hank. I groaned and picked up the call. I said, “Hey Hank.. Why are you calling me early in the morning?” An overly excited voice of Hank replied from the other side, "I finally did it, Mike. I did it. “ I drowsily said, “You lost your virginity or something?” To this Hank replied in a shocked tone, “What? No.. No, I mean that’s not what I was talking about. I finally made it.. The device that could prevent us from forgetting our lives here, when we go back to the original reality. And it is safe, and we would remember everything. “Then he started laughing. I couldn’t help, but groan and said, “Okay.. “ Then I hung up the phone. Just when I placed my mobile on the table and laid on the bed to sleep, the phon
Looking at the machine, I couldn’t help but ask Hank, “Are you sure this machine works? I mean, you haven’t even tested this machine yet. What if this machine doesn’t even work, and instead it blows up? I am just eighteen. I still don’t have children and I don’t want to die this early. “ Hearing my words, Hank rolled his eyes and said, “Kid.. I am a smart guy. And this woman here.. “ He pointed at Nicole and continued, “is one of the smartest mind, in not only physics and engineering but also in material science. So by saying that you doubt me, but also doubting her. Believe me, you don’t want to doubt her. It rarely ends good for those who doubt her. Here, you. “I nodded. Nicole chuckled and said, while she walked towards me, “He is just afraid.” Then she hugged my shoulders and said while looking at Hank, “you didn’t perform the
I did not know, how long I was floating in the white area. My eyes closed when I saw the same white light, and now that my eyes are open, I am still in the same white area. It was like, everything was white for miles, probably this was some kind of space similar to the one I was in before. Though this is bright, it is still the same. Then suddenly, as if there was a black hole somewhere, I was suddenly pulled away, towards a vortex like structure. But what I saw on the other side of the vortex, had shocked me the most.There, lying on the other side of the vortex, was me. I was unconscious and probably in a hospital. It was because of the outfit I wore on the other side of the robe, and the green bedsheets. These two things were the hint. I got to deduce that I was indeed in a hospital. That’s when I noticed something weirder. I muttered, “These wounds are too familiar.. “I came to the other side of the vorte
When I reached home, I directly went to visit mom in her room. When I knocked on the door, I heard a weak voice speak, “Come in. “There, lying on the bed, was mom. Her face was a little pale. Though it looked like she was in grave danger, the doctor had confirmed that it was just because she had eaten nothing and didn’t rest. At least that’s what Luna said to me, when I asked her about mom’s situation. I walked towards mom and sat down beside her on the bed. These three years had also changed her body. She had few white hairs, but they weren’t easy to notice before. But now, she had more white hair. Mom smiled lightly when she saw me, and she raised her hand to touch my cheek and she continued looking at me with loving eyes.I talked to her. Well, it was mostly her talking. I just listened to her. She was constantly apologising for using her power to change the reality. She told me how she didn’t want to lose me, l
That’s the only field which has almost no competition for almost eight years.. no, eleven years now. I had even searched about it on the global network and found that only four major companies are the major supplier of prosthesis. And I had to say that even with the advanced technologies in this world, they were still similar to the previous prosthesis I had seen before. These prostheses were more demeaning than those axillary crutches and such, but those were the only cheaper ones. How else are people who are disabled and had to spend a lot of money for treatment or amputation would buy better ones? Not like there were any actual ones. Almost every prosthesis was the same. I had a thought.I went to my room and opened my laptop, and searched the official websites of all the four companies which make prosthesis and such things and bought them. One from each company. So I just bought four prostheses for the sake of experi
Getting the materials were quite easy than I had thought it to be. The most painful thing was spending money. It always hurts when we have to spend money. Same was the case with me. When the dealer talked to me about the payment, I was reluctant. But I know it better that for earning more money, and to get stronger and to be the one with the true power, I might have to give some of the money. Once I make a breakthrough, it was obvious to earn millions of dollars. Maybe I might become a millionaire in a week and could cover up the money I spent. But for that, I had to lose some money to buy the materials.I negotiated the price and ordered all the materials. But I had to pay an upfront amount of five thousand dollars, since I just needed a few things for the experimental purpose. That price would increase more, when I want to mass produce. And I might need to buy a factory to produce these things, and, I ha to be wary from someone stealing my ideas. This ga
Both I and Hank were at a loss of words. Because we did not know, why Nicole is an old woman now. Because as far as I know about this reality changing, the age should be the same, unless it is changed by the person who changed the reality, for this case, my mom. But the thing is that, mom did not know who Nicole was, not in the fake reality or in the real one. So what had happened that changed Nicole? I couldn’t help, but hugged her lightly. She smiled and said while coughing a little, “Hey Mike.. I would visit, if I could, but my condition doesn’t allow me to. “ Hank was silent the whole time. After we parted our hug, Hank and Nicole continued staring at each other. Then Hank whispered, “How did this happen?”Nicole smiled and said, “It’s because of the energy wave, which got disrupted after the reality started tearing. You remember the blue light, yes?” Both of us nodded,
After finishing our dinner, both I and Hank were shown our rooms. But Hank talked with Nicole for some time, before going to sleep. Diana wanted to speak something, but I touched her hand, while slightly shaking my head. She seemed to understand my meaning, or at least I thought she did. She walked me towards my room, she whispered, “What were you trying to say earlier?” I sighed and almost face palmed myself, when I thought how I had thought that she might understand my actions. Then I asked her, “Didn’t you feel tension between those two?” Diana looked at me stupidly and asked, “What Tension?”This time, I really faced palmed myself. ‘How could a person be this ignorant?’, I thought while shaking my head. Diana narrowed her eyes, waiting for my answer. That’s when I realised, although I didn’t say a word, yet my actions were enough to make her understand what I was thinking. Then I spoke,
