Moonlight streamed through the open window and a gentle breezed pushed its way into the makeshift lab. A young man, who seemed to be in his mid to late teens, slowly began to wake. Eye lids opened and new hazel eyes explored the ceiling above him. Slowly the being sat up, messy black hair ruffled and he could hair strange sounds. Slender fingers gripped the fabric underneath his body and he pushed himself up as he could now see more items around him. All of this was new, he had very little knowledge and by this point it wasn’t clear if he could even speak.

[i]Chirp, chirp, chirp… [/i] it was the foreign sound again. So soft and soothing to most but to this being it was amazing and actually alarming since he didn’t understand it. His legs were strong enough to help his body up and slowly he began to the window. Small blue things sang on the branch nearby and gears worked as muscles as his arm extended out, curious fingers reaching out to touched the creatures when they suddenly went into the air and flew away! The being gasped softly and he stumbled back as his mind began to process. “Birds … flew away.” What little data he did have would began to expand and access as he did experience things. The strange being had no real way of understanding the world and he did need someone to help him. The data he did have was basic, small things that a child would learn before entering the school system. That was, if there still was one.

The human race had grown too big that it killed itself. Now the human were in low numbers, many returning to times of tribes and much simpler times with aids from future’s success as solar power and computer chips that were more than able to collect data and even mimic the human mind if one knew how to program it correctly. It was rare now a day. Many humans returned to farming and focusing on just keeping alive.

The boy looked out the window again like a curious child. He saw large buildings, many in decay but still standing. Nature had returned and claimed its home. Ivy and weeds began to overtake buildings and broke up the cemented ground. Humans were nowhere in sight. At least not to him.
