This will be the ending of this twisted thoughts story. Lets end this story with this beginning. As you drive off into the highway, you saw many cars had stalled in the middle of the road. Some cars had veered off into the emergency lane. Some had toppled over. You had to drive carefully to avoid this stranded cars in the highway. It was almost half an hour of driving that the highway has less stranded cars. You pick up speed. As the city view become less and the country side becomes more visible, you notice something unusual. The trees were uprooted and floating a few meters from the ground. Although the trees’ roots were still attached to the ground, it is as though the tree were lifted by their roots. How amazing, you thought. You stopped your SUV. You looked around. The whole forest looked like floating in the air. The sun is definitely shining brightly, sky is absolutely clear of clouds and you can see hills from your position. You drove on slowly. After some time, you had gotten use to the new environment that you decided to stop at one rest house.
The rest house has one flower pot with an ‘X’ marked to its pot. The toilet was clean and smelled of lavender. Feel good and sleepy. You made your business as fast as possible and moved on again into the highway. After some hours or so, you saw another rest house coming up. Having finish a bottle of mineral water, you decided to give nature a call again. This time you saw the same flower pot. Not one but two flower pots. Both had an ‘X’ marked on its pot. The toilet was same and smell same too. You drove on to the highway again. It was hours and the road was just straight. You past another rest house. You made another glimpse at the toilet entrance as you passed by. There are three flower pots with each marked ‘X’. You sped on. The road was straight. After some time, you just realized that all this while, there were not exits to other states. Something is not right. There were no toll or any signs of U-turn so to return back to the city.
The world has gone mad since its population disappeared. ‘Think, think’, you said to yourself. So you decided to drove on. After the tenth rest house, you had enough of this long journey. The fuel was getting low and there were still no sign of exiting this highway. The highway is going straight. You drove on. Resting for breaks when you felt sleepy. Evening arrived and your SUV has nearly diminished all of its petrol. Suddenly, you saw light, a very bright blue light. ‘I can’t take this anymore, thank god!’, you exclaimed. ‘I saw light!’, you beamed happily at the sudden change in the highway. The moment you reach the bright blue light, the whole highway scene changed. The environment now looked so plain. Plain meaning. There is nothing there. Just plain white empty spaces. ‘What the hell’, you murmured.
‘Ahem’, someone coughed. You looked around. There was this person sat just beside the border of the white empty space and the highway. ‘I am sure your mind must have a lot of question to ask’, he smiled at him. He looked old and had a long white beard. He dressed in white suit too. ‘Who are you?’, you asked him. ‘That is a nice car they created for you’, he looked at the Murano. ‘Of course’, he said to himself again. ‘You may come down from the car now’, he gestured to you. ‘Its saved to come out’, he continued with a smile. You walked out of your SUV. ‘What is this place? Who are you?’, you asked again. ‘Well, this is the developer’s environment’, he said. ‘To some of you, I am called the Mother Nature’, he said. You looked hard at him, he doesn’t looked like a mother to be a Mother Nature. ‘Ok, I don’t looked woman to be Mother Nature’, he smiled again. ‘But who of you really know Mother Nature look like’, he said and looked to the SUV and the highway outside the white environment.
‘Some said I am the creator’, he looked back to you. ‘However, I am just the coordinator. I say things downstairs build it’, he pointed below. ‘Up there is management’, he looked up. ‘Never mind you do not understand’, he walked over to you nearer and looked more closely to you. ‘Am I dead’, you asked. ‘No no’, he immediately replied with a laugh. ‘You are absolutely fine, my lad’, he nodded with a smile. You seemed not so convinced. ‘Honestly, you are still alive. Just that you are separated from the rest of the population we created. Its sort of right now the whole entire planet is having an upgrade.’, he smiled again. ‘Are you sure? You are not one of those TV reality shows, are you?’, you asked. ‘Do I looked like one?’ he squinted at you. ‘No!’, he denied it with a full satisfactory tone. ‘My boy, you are looking at one of the most spectacular event that occurred in your life right now. Normally, human like you won’t wake up when we do upgrading to the whole planet. But you’, he said pointing with one finger to your chest. ‘You woke up before we complete our upgrade’, he said and smiled. ‘Normally, we will just shut down human and let them sleep until the whole process is complete but your system just ignore our command. So we decided to let one and only one human to venture and have the luxury to the whole world when we do upgrade. All those things that you had for several years will retain with you when you wake up. Tell no one I trust?’ he said. ‘Alright, ‘ you said reluctantly. Whether to believe him or yourself. ‘Still don’t believe me?’ he smiled at you.
‘Yes, I do not yet’, you looked back at him. ‘Come, let me show you’, he grabbed hold of your hand and walked to the border of the white environment and the highway. He pressed something on his wrist. The whole highway scene change to billions of tiny screen channels. All of them showing individual human sleeping. ‘And you are here’, he pointed at one of the tiny screen. ‘not sleeping’, he continued. His screen showing him standing in the white room with the man. ‘Convince now?’ he asked again. ‘No’ you said. He gave you one slap. ‘Ouch, that hurts!’, he screamed. ‘That hurts and you are definitely not dreaming!’, he confirmed to you. ‘Ok, I get your point!’, you shouted back. ‘So what should I do?’, you asked him back. ‘That depends, the development department will finish their upgrade in 6 months time and you can still fool around and get as many things you want or you can go back to sleep’, he said. ‘I rather go back to sleep and wake up tomorrow with my family, girlfriend and friends’, you looked at him and then down to the white floor. ‘I see’, he smiled again. ‘Feeling lonely in the world and you alone?’, he asked. ‘Yes’, you nodded.
