12/100 - the numbers were written inside a red circle and the word Fail written below it with the same ink. This is what the front page of the four page exam sheet he was staring at said…
I still remember, we were born together, Me, Him, FG, and P. Life was clear, life was free. We would play for hours, fall down and get up, fail and try to succeed again…it was all just what anyone could want… till FG’s brother FE was born and along with him were born R and G.
…FE and P stood there smiling as he turned to the last sheet…
Charles Darwin famously quotes “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” This and most probably this alone is what makes humans the most dangerous of beings. Surviving is all we care about.
…"Get Signed from Guardian" was written on the last page. He looked up and saw FG andMe standing right there trying to tell him what he was about to do was wrong.
What’s the difference between Right and Wrong, Dark and Light? It’s all in the perception, FE had told him. The only thing important is survival, P had added. To survive, he had to be a quick learner, this had always been clear to him. I was still there watching, unable do anything as I had just met with an accident last night when he was driving without a seat belt, while talking on the phone. I was still happy though, he had friends; R and G were still with him. I was sure they would help him.
… R and G came running in. Thank God they were here I thought. I was sure they would be able to stop him… But it didn’t happen. FE and P had total control.
My condition had gotten worse I had fragile legs and a broken spine. I was lying on the bed when I heard… it had happened again. But this time it was different, R and G had left him and something different had taken over. He was feeling proud, was having a drink with his friends, FE and P, telling them how easily he had bypassed the law and achieved survival.
…And then it happened…
“Utterly Broken” is how Wikipedia defines the word Corrupt. I have been on this bed for quite some time now; I am no longer able to stand on my own. Yesterday some doctors came to put me on a support system. In this system they appoint people to watch over me. They said the FEAR of these people will help me stand up again. FEAR would make it right. They were making the same mistake, the mistake I, Conscience, had made some time ago when I had put my faith in FG.
Fear now rules this place. Unfortunately fear can never rule for long because to dethrone one fear another fear is born like it had happened that day…
12/100 - the numbers inside a red circle and the word Fail written below it in red. This is what the front page of the four sheet exam paper, he was staring at said. Fear (Evil) and Pressure stood there smiling as he turned to the last sheet. "Get Signed from Guardian" it said. He looked up and saw Fear (Good) and Me standing right there trying to tell him what he was about to do was wrong. Remorse and Guilt came running in. Thank God they were here I thought. I was sure they would be able to stop him but it didn’t happen. Fear (Evil) and Pressure had total control...
…And then it happened, he picked up the pen on his right and forged the signature of his Dad... This was as I like calling it the first time he drew blood and tasted it.
