The day that changed the course of history or rather one can say ended it for humanity ... No not just humanity but for the entire earth .
It was the day , Human ignorant as they were touched upon something no being in the universe was meant to .. something so taboo that its very existence and presence was unknown .
Something that even universe itself was oblivious of but its very existence was Tabooed.
The moment humans breached into the realm of the Forbidden , the judgement arrived.
A force , a phenomenon that surpassed all that was known and even imagined by the little brains of humans.
A being from a higher dimensions struck at Earth and its being for touching the Taboo.
In an instance , A Cosmic Void formed with Earth at its core that spread across hundreds of millions of light years and everything inside this region simply vanished , erased away from existence .
A gaping sphere of NOTHING left behind in the universe that rushed to close the gap .
The Great Cosmic Void was created and thus everyging that was or had been vanished .
Humans , Earth , sun , milkyway and hundreds of other galaxies simply erased .
As for the Taboo , It vanished .
.....
Trembling on the wooden plank , a young man.in his teens was lying with beads of sweat dripping down his face and his entire body burning with a high fever .
Alone and with empty eyes , the Boy gasped for one last time before his body Twitched and went still .
His face started fo pale as the blood pooled towards his back and his skin started to shrink .
Hours passed when suddenly someone opened the door to the dilapidated wooden cottage and saw the young mans body .
The man who entered had a frown on his face instead of shock or even suprise as if he had already expected such a scene but was rather troubled by what to do now .
" Finally ... Let see what you found in the forest "
Instead of attending to the body , the man started to search through the belongings of the poor dead boy .
After going through most of the stuff , his eyes spotted a small bump . The mid of tgat area was not pressed down like its surroundings.
A smile appeared on his face .
" Found you !! "
He pulled the wooden bed away with force causing the dead body to stumble and fall face first onto the ground .
Digging through the mud , the man found what he had wanted .
" HAHAHA ...I KNEW IT !!.. I AM RICH !!! HAHAHA "
The man celebrated as he held a glass like bead in his palm , while it was merely the size of a grape , it was worth more than an entire field of grapes maybe even more .
The man overjoyed with his find as he clenched the item tightly in his hand , he for the first time looked at the young boy who was the original owner of the bead .
Smiling he said
" Kid sorry but you shouldnt have shouted out in excitement that you found a spirit bead in the jungle ... Look what that got you .
Sigh ... Young one these days are just soo naive and ignorant of the dangers of this world .
Kid , dont blame me as a ghost , in fact i helped you and even saved you from this cruel world . A world like this is nothing but a nightmare for a kind and innocent soul like yours .
As a favour for having taught you such a valuable leason ill be taking this spirit bead as a compensation."
The man gave a short epilogue to the dead and walked out of the cottage .
Leaving the dead boy and his cottage alone in the middle of night .
Unaware of the fact that the body he had left behind let out a noise as he left .
Ba dum
A headbeat !!.
.....
Zen was one of the greatest minds of the twenty second century earth , he was one of the leading scientists who had been researching on how to form exotic matter in the lab in order to use it and synthesis it as a energy source to be use to create Wormholes .
After dedicating five decades and hundreds of billions of dollars and tens of thousands of manhours to his goal
Zen and hos team finally managed to succeed.in doing so , as a result he was awarded a Nobel Prize in physics and gained recognition and fame aceoss the human species and civilization.
After that , his team started to work towards the next phase that involved creatioj of wormholes to travel across the universe using the exotic matter .
Years passed by and finally Zen and his team succeeded.
" We did it ? "
In disbelief and shock , zen and his team looked at the stable human sized wormhole that they had made in their lab .
As tears streamed down his eyes , his frllow colleague rushed to do some experiments.
Using ordinary objects to test the wormhole .
Success
Success
Success
After using various test item , they concluded that they had actually done what was considered impossible by all laws of physics and have not only rewritten the rules of physics they had overcome the limitations placed upon them by nature and universe .
Hours later , it was finally the turn for live test , first zen and his team started with using lab rats - success , cat - success , dog - success , a goat - success.
As chears erupted in the lab , everyones finally realised that the next logical step was for a human trial .
But who should be the first being in the history of humanity neigh the universe to achieve something like this .
As zen was still in a half daze state , he suddenly found himself standing at the forefront .
" What ? " Zen asked his colleagues as he looked at them , each one of them had taken a step back as if acknowledging his right to be first one .
Before he could say a word , they all nodded and said .
" Its yours Sir "
Zen looked at everyone deeply and as a tear of happiness formed in his eye , he walked forward
Standinb inches away , he turned to everone and said .
" If it goes well , ill meet you on the other side ...if not ...well meet you in hell !! "
With that he took a step that cemented the end of all .
Zen felt a wave of energy / shockeave pass through his being as he felt like he had been stretched into an infinitely long string that had oiled up in itself to form his body.
As the sensation washed over him , he forced himself go open his eyes .
But what he saw left him stunned .
He was standing? ..no he was floating ? ..no ..there is gravity ....there is time....but there is no space here ?
His mind too weak to properly understand what kind of place he was in .
As he turned his face in either direction he saw on his left was the image of his team standing still and on the other end was the room where another team of scientists were frozen .
" Whats going on ?. Why am i still in the wormhole ? "
He asked himself but had no answere to it
just as he was about to walk towards the wormholes exit , he felt something .a weird and uncanny feeling that something bad had happened .
Something he wasn't supposed to do .
Something wrong .
As he turned to look at the ends , he caight a glimpse of something .
The walls of the curved spacetime tunnel , which were coating with a tin layer of exotic matter had started to stretch towards him .
As if something or someone was poking a hole through the fabric of space time .
Curiosity... A curse of all those who call themselves scientist was something that even Zen was bound to follow .
Extending his finger to touch the stretched out space .. Zen felt as if something had pricked his finger as a drop of his blood was absorbed into the wall which instantaneously collapsed as a voice echoed in Zens head .
[ Human you have been bound to me and i am to you ... Unfortunately for you and your world . I am something Taboo by your Reality. You have saved me but doing so doomed your universe ]
" What !!?? WHOO !?? "
[ Not important right now , with the linited amount of Exotic matter you managed ro create , i have only enough energy to save you and escape ]
" Wha... "
But before Zen could completely comprehend what had taken place or what was being said into his head , it happened .
The cosmic void was formed and everything was erased from existence .
All except , Zen and the Taboo for they had vanished .
