A huge skyscraper building with full of people in middle of the city of Athens. The life of Modern humans are very comfortable with the immergence of AI. Just like Steam Engine changes everything in first industrial revolution. This days people say AI is changing every field of market. They all call it fourth industrial revolution or something.
In one of the floor in a tall building, One person can be seen relaxing on his chair after his long day work shift. It is me, William. I work as cleaner on 24th floor of this building with many others. Today everyone went early to there home. Usually I work for 14 hours a day in 2 shift just to maintain my poor lifestyle. Today is my birthday , I turned 35 years old this year. Because of the poverty my girlfriend left me 4 year ago. My parent died in car accident 2 years ago. In this world were money is everything to people, I live alone. I had enough of this life. but what can I do besides cleaning.
Just as I was relaxing, suddenly at the end of the passageway I saw bright light flashing in one of the room. The room was locked but I can still saw the blinding bright light trying to penetrate door as well as walls of the building. With curiosity I walked towards The door. searching inside pocket I found key to this room no. 2405. After unlocking the door I went inside. At first I was blinded by the light but after sometime adjusting to the surrounding I was able to see the chaos inside the room. There were several bodies of white apron wearing people lying on ground. I don't know if they were alive or dead, but looking at there appearance I guess they are scientist or maybe doctors. I saw one person wearing black suit. He looked different so I went to him, after searching I got the keys for inner doors. I went on my search inside the room, after unlocking I went inside part of room, rather than saying room it looked like research lab. again I saw more people lying on the ground. The light inside room was getting brighter and brighter as I walk towards center area of room.
To avoid the light I wear my sunglasses and headed in the direction of lights source. Upon reaching the inner cabin I saw one stone, floating in the air near center. That stone was imitating light. I walk carefully towards stone with curiosity. I had never seen a small object imitating this powerful light. I extended my hand to grab the stone, suddenly stone move and hit my abdominal region. With the hit I started spinning, my head hit the floor. blood started flowing out of my head.
'Is this how I die. At least I tried to live mom and dad. But I guess I will be meeting you guys soon.' with this thought I lost my consciousness.
