another life

'There's one pinned spot left. Roadmap is being re-calculated.'

She carefully looked at the little screen. She was anxious without any doubt. All those years and it was about to come to an end. 

Last puzzle piece.

Her helmet started to blur her vision, it was better than dying nonetheless. There weren't many spots that you can breathe without dying. Her path didn't cross with somewhere she can actually breathe. 

She kept walking, staring at her boots. Everything was so gray that it was reminding her of the city her youth passed in. People weren't being fair, she thought. This was colorless. This was lifeless. 

After all, she was the only one that's left. 

She carefully entered the abandoned building. Searched for the elevator. She needed to reach the lowest floor. Step by step to hell, she thought. The elevator started going down, loudly, and for a moment she wished it'd just break, and everything would come to an end. 

Was she afraid? 

She walked towards the big, metal gate. Calling it a door would be unfair. 

'Identity scan. Detected admin. All permissions are granted.'

The door opened.

She walked towards the capsule, spinning on itself. 

'Stop freezing process. Reveal.'

'Warning, capsule is being open. 15 minutes for termination. Process initiating. 6 minutes and 6 seconds video will play.'

The big screen behind the capsule started showing a video. 

She took a deep breath, looking at her... How many years? 10? 

'I know you'd come back. Did you regret what we did? Were you looking for answers? Only if you knew, I only made us free. You, and I ran away from what you are so desperately searching for. Whole our lives. Now, you think this is going to fix everything? Let me tell you, you will find nothing. Nothing that makes you feel better about what you did. You think you know better now. But I am wiser than you. I gave you a second chance. I made you a god amongst others, I made you pure. You can almost say I'm your mother, because I gave you birth. It's funny and sick, isn't it? Since you are here, you collected some parts. But not all. I kept the best parts of me here. What made me. All the pain. Are you brave enough to take it? Of course you are.

You are me. I knew you would come back.'
