The Scientist

You know what? I quit. I quit being a pawn in diabolical plan. And i quit being manipulated! I don't want to quit but have to! I can't let this go on. It's starting to affect my mental health. And I just can't let this get any worse. I need to quit!

I should probably explain what led me to this decision, as I didn't just get bored one day and want to quit my job. My name is Rachel Smith and I've been working hand and foot for the most arrogant man in the world! His name is Blake Barton, he's the CEO of a Space Lab. And recently he's been ordering me to commit such vial acts, he wanted me to end an entire planet that he discovered, just so he could take pleasure in watching innocent people suffer! And yes I'm aware they weren't actual people but they were still living and. And Blake didn't care.

I didn't sign up for any of this, I thought I was contributing to science, but instead I've helped an evil man. And I just can't live with myself, for what I've done I'll never forgive myself! I quit being a Scientist! It's not what I enjoy doing anymore.

But I know this decision is going to backfire. Blake Barton has already threatened me. He told me he would hurt the people I care about if I try to leave or expose him. I just don't see any way out. Not unless I stand up to him. But I don't know if I have it in me. What would I even say? And what would I even do? I need a plan.

I decided to sleep on it. Not that I got much sleep that is, I just tossed and turned thinking about the consequences. But then I realised I have to do the right thing, even if that means having to do a really terrible thing in the process.

I realised that if he continued to live he'd go on to commit even worse acts, and who knows what he'll do next. I can't risk even more innocent people die! It wasn't an easy decision to make. Probably one of the hardest I'd ever have to make. I then made a plan.

The next day I got in my car and drove to the lab. I brought him a coffee to butter him up, so he wouldn't suspect anything, or what I had planned. I then entered his office and we started to chat. As I held all my anger inside of me. Trying not to just strangle him then and there.

"Hello Miss Smith!" He said, as I gave him the coffee. He then smirked, as he started plotting his next evil plan.

"I'm not here to chat, I'm here to hand in my resignation, I quit!" I told him, in an irritated tone.

"Now you know what will happen if you leave!" He warned me. As he sipped on his coffee.

"I'm aware." I said. As stared him directly in the face.

And in just a few moments my plan took place, just I planned.

He then started to choke, and his face went all red and puffy. And his panicked expression made it all worth it.

"What the heck is in this?" He asked as he choked and coughed. Trying spit out the coffee.

"Nuts!" I said. With out any compassion whatsoever. As couldn't stand him.

"But, but I'm allergic!" He coughed and panicked, as he fell to the floor.

"Exactly! I simply can't let you live Blake, your to dangerous. You hurt to many innocent people." I told him.

"They were nothing like us. And atleast I'm not hurting my own kind!" He said, still choking.

"Difference is Blake your innocent! And good riddance, I quit!" I said as I watched him slowly die. I then left the room and went home.

About a week later once the public found out what I had done, I then went on tv in an interview and exposed Blake for what he was. I then got a lot of backlash.

I know what I did was wrong, but at least saved space and other planets from being destroyed.

Even though I loved being a Scientist, I simply couldn't carry on. And I'm glad Black can no longer hurt anyone. And going forward I'm going to try and make the world a better place.

About a year after the incident took place, I became an astronaut. I travelled into space and rebuilt the planet from what was left in the wreckage. I then made peace with the remaining citizens of the planet, and I apologised for what I did. Even though I could never get those lives back, I could still try and fix my mistakes. And not entirely give up. And In the end I made peace with myself as well, and improved my mental health.

I then decided stop being an astronaut, I put that final chapter of my dark past to rest. Instead I then became a doctor down on earth. And started helping people. I helped the sick and the injured. And in the end I was finally happy again.

And the civilians from the planet then came to earth, and suddenly I contributed to the cohabitation of the humans and the alien civilisation. And before we knew it every other Alien from all over space came to earth. And space was never the same again. In a good way though, and the because of that I helped earth advance so much. And I proved not only to myself but to the whole of space, that I'm not a quitter after all.

And this whole experience taught me, is that I can be strong, and to never give up. And going forward I Rachel Smith will never quit again, and I will stand up to evil people like Blake Barton. And I will continue to what I love, Science!
