Cover story 50: A dread
Time was ticking away before the big bang was about to unfold. But we were multiple months in advance in the past. A hired gun man after the life of the man who had no name for the simple endeavor that he gets paid. By Bob none the less.
But who is a person if what he is someone else can do better

Be the version of yourself you want in the world, the world didn't see me. I wanna blame the world, but I never tried either. Both are problems, but someone cared. I went back just like I did before. I heard the cries of the ones inside my basement and so I opened those doors. Little did I know the basement of 100 people and the scale of that was a lot more than I remember it being. They were breakk --- ..
They were touching everything that they could get their hands on. I gave them work and some chains I made out of rocks I found, they were like puppies on a playpark, "don't go to off on your own now", så that they don't end up running away. I later found out I don't have a good bone in my body. I offered them food, but they were to costly, I already halfed my earnings buying so many soldiers, a hundred aint even enough I got more being trained. I needed some land, I needed some infrastructure.
The whole day that's what we did. It went weeks but they slowly started speaking, adults and kids alike. I gave them food, and even though it wasn't perfect, because I didn't have a good bone in me, I offered niceness and they gave me that back. I finally felt whole for once. I borrowed a book about religion, couldn't understand it at first, but through reading and finding the context looking at the same word for days on end I picked up some words. Language isn't diverse thing, nations speak one singular language so that communication is easy between parties, small regions have languages that relatives and neighbors understand. Latin was an example of such, so was arabic.
I spent more and more money, I was happier being a small leader. I ordered more and more of my men to be sent to my house. As the houses I built were being held by the residents of my past losses. I may not have money or any worth anymore, but I spent every last dime and time doing the one kind act my friend told me to do. All that was left was meeting him again. Did I forget about the vaccine yes I did, but I knew I reset already and just like nostalgia the same happened.

"Why you black", I said calmly.
"Why you racially profilling man, what you hate me or somthin", He said a bit angered.
"No no you look strong, did you evolve better than these ingrates, like any unique powers", I said calmly again proud of my ability to communicate.
"You sayin I'm a theif that's my power huuh", said the guy a bit angered.
"Explain the math in those words, I never insinuated any of that, I said YOU LOOK STRONG LIKE A GOOD ACCOMPLICE", I said calmer than ever.
"So you callin me a slave now, to your bidding huh punk", he said as he got angrier.
"Hmm aam I, no, but we can work together", I said patting his bald head.
"You gay or somethin, I like men but not like that", he said shoving me away.
"WORDS, I SPEAK MERE WORDS, DO I LOOK LIKE A VILLAIN FROM A NOVEL OR A TEEN DRAMA", I said fed up.
"Words, people say words ... what you callin me a monkey dumb enough not to get those words", he said getting ready to try and beat me up.
"NO NO NO, I CAN*T SPEAK", I said jumping up and down like a toddler I must say but for a good cause.
"What you pretending to be me saying I CAN*T SPEAK makin me look like a damn immigrant, huuh you wanna fight come on", he said putting down the cup.
I gave up. I was about to ask him about working together on how to control people when it comes to slavery of the poor but he made me feel dumber than a fruit. He is a gag is what I found out, but as I saw him more and more he had more unique ways of saying ARE YOU ASKING FOR A FIGHT like as if he were a member of the royal family calling his dad PAPA and his mom MUMMY.
