She woke up standing in front of a gaping hole to infinity. Separated by the glass in a circle around the hole, everyone around her was in a daze, that included Ben right next to her. A TV flick on, and the glass slid down into its mechanics." Please join your partner, we will be lining you up according to your surname. You will have a supervised jump. Please join your partner..."
She wanted to run towards Benjamin and jump into his arms, but with all the security, that would be unlikely to end well. Affecting her children's future for the opportunity of a few happy moments She calmly walked towards Benjamin locking her arms and getting in line 3rd. Their last name was Arlidge There were around 200 couples in the line behind him..
There was a couple much older than them with the last name of Adam jumping in with no hesitation. Not even a second look at each other. Next was a couple no older than them, with the last name of Alsbury, a final kiss on the cheek and a hug, and as soon as they were reunited they were gone. It's like they never even valued the time they had on this planet. The time had come for the Arlidge pair to jump. They walk forward and said
" Bye Patty "
" Bye Ben "
Before they jump of free will they were pushed.
In the infinite pit, she saw Ben drift away from her. The hole narrowed, and she saw the two other couples at the bottom. Was this truly the adequate death for a human? A mass grave. No.
None of this was for the humans of the world. It was all for the convenience of Ai's attempt to be human.
