It wasn’t supposed to be this successful… The Duck Song: A multibillionaire company originally formed from the premise of a simple lemonade stand. It now stands as the omnipresent global empire for both wealth and complete control. Its customers, once a purchase has been made, will provide a complete vulnerability of everything within their life to the company. There used to be a way to prevent this, a way to stop the tyranny of The Duck Song from dismantling the very roots of civilization, but I was too late to stop it from happening. ...

CSS 102 A boy and his father, two walked down a hallway. A son and his dad, tiny fingers latched onto his loose grip. Innocence and experience, frail expression. Responsibility and burden. At just fifteen years of age, my father became known as "The Researcher" by everybody in the Submokitna. They called him a prodigy, a heaven-sent entity that toyed with medicine and science as if they were nothing more than one plus one, a true god-child.

The numbers on the elevator doors ticked down from the 6th floor. The entire chamber was filled with silence and the presence of a boy. The boy kept a stern grip on the handle of his carry-on luggage as he exited the sliding doors of the elevator into the main lobby and finally, out of the building for the very last time. His dead eyes reflected the empathetless emotions, not of remorse, sadness, or regret as he stared up at the blue moon whose brilliance dominated the night sky.
