Redemption

It is dark. I feel scared yet full of hope. Hope that one day I will be remembered, not for the things I’ve done wrong but the right I tried to do.

It begun last week but must have been building up for awhile, when one of our experiments broke loose. We were all forced to scatter using emergency safehouses. Built for a situation like this. Unfortunately our experiment was too smart and tried to hunt us down spreading like wildfire. All I can hope is that they managed to elude it.

I am at a crossroads whether to save myself or the one I’m with. She was always there for both support and encouragement and her smile radiates happiness to a time no longer among us. As I look around there is only one space available for the cryogenics tube. Maybe one day she will be able to stop the maddness that now plagues us.

She was at first resistant but eventually relented. I now sit watching her, waiting for the day that this maddness will end. I may not survive waiting, but I know in her hands the world is safe.
