Its been a long time since some one told me i was special. A long time since anyones talked at all. Well that is to be expected. after all they are all in a form of cryogenic sleep. except for the fact that none of them will wake up untill the transformations are complete. And then i am not so sure that they will be very happy with me when they do awaken. it has been after all my fault, who else in the known universe but a mad scientist would try and better humanity through nanotech nology and cloning. Bad mad scientist bad woman.

well at least the dreams they have will, sort of be.. well it might be.. oh who am i kidding they will think it is all real and happening to them. Nural implants can do that sort of thing. i wonder what will come of it though. what they all will look like. may hap i will be the only human alive on this bucket of bolts when this is all done. What is happening to them in the cacoons the nanites built about the body's is anyones guess, but at least i can check on what is going on in their minds... hmm well i might as well check it out. Come on droids to the theater, mayhap we can hack into a dream, into someones nanotech reality. Even if for just a while.

CRASH! The cocoons split open, a deep, misty vapor arising. My heart pounds...fear envelopes me as I watch and wait in anticipation. I, the bad mad scientist, bad woman that I see myself as, the creator of Nanotech reality. It is my day of reckoning.

The vibration in the room continues to build to a crescendo. My head feels as though it will explode with the sudden surge of artificial activity from within the Neural implants. I close my eyes and scream agonizing at what I am viewing. My creations, the cloning, the tampering with what was once reality now comes to a life of its own.

I see them move slowly...damp and clingy at first like a butterfly emerging the cocoon. They one by one arise to full majesty and power. I stand in awe...they are so magnificent and beautiful!


I see him turn to look at me, a perfect specimen of the finest cloning of mankind. He does not vocalize his speech...his thoughts project to me and I feel his concern for my puny existence.

The others await his call. There is an order to the Nanotech beings. What is it he wants of me? Will he see fit to destroy the creator of this new reality? He extends his hand and without touching me sends forth a cobalt blue ray of light. It feels cool and soothing.

I feel the need to close my eyes and he shows me who I am...no more lines and cares and worries. It is all gone is a flash! How can this be? Have we evolved past human speaking and thought? I no longer feel the need to have someone tell me I am special.

The miracle is in my own mind. I see myself differently now and in a different light. I am a part of my own creation. I, too, am evolving.

There is a flash of iridescence and the vapors clear. I am trying to comprehend. I am waiting...waiting...and still waiting for what? Time stands still, or is there no time? One quantum leap in quickened time in an instant of thought.

I understand now. I am to go back to reality in time to teach. I want to stay here but he directs my reality and I find myself back once again in my puny existence before Nanotechnology.

I awake in my bed and feel confused at first. Was I just dreaming? It seemed so real! Then I look over in my full length mirror and see myself. My surroundings focus and I realize that I am twenty years younger and in my home in another location than where the Nanotechnology was founded.

I run to my computer and search for information or notes on Nanotechnology...there are no notes, nothing to be found. I click on a file that opens to a section titled, "Artificial Reproduction" My eyes widen as I read the details of my own experimentation.

It seems that I had discovered a way to splice the body's own DNA into a very molecular computer chip. I had the power to control other's health and reproduce any genetic traits I desired. Why, I could eliminate anyone I wanted from off the face of the earth by simply reprogramming or scrambling their DNA with this one file alone!

I remembered the cocoons as they opened. I remembered waiting in suspended and numbed anticipation of the final results. I remembered how alone for years I had felt as I had abused this knowledge. It had corrupted my being and sense of moral honor.

I had the power to be God-like! But as I remembered a sick feeling came over me. I remembered the innocent ones...the women and especially the children. I had been bitter all my life as I was not able to bear children.

A thought struck me forcefully..."Why not use this knowledge for good? Why not use it to reprogram my own biochemistry so I would be capable of bearing children of my own?

My thoughts return to a failed marriage. I had blamed him for my own physical problems. He was gone from my life. Could I find him again and start over? I understood things now that I had never perceived before.

The Magnificent One had given me the gift to put things in order once again and to use this gift for the betterment of all mankind. My heart felt warm and good...a feeling that I had not felt since a little child. I would go on with the resolve to do things the right way this time.

*Guest whispers* LaurelRose, where are you? And why doesn't someone else take this story somewhere?

*Sits back eating popcorn and drinkin Dr. Pepper listening to the rhetoric*

A rush of anticipation floods through me as I reach for the phone. At first I am confused as I try to remember how to use it...oh yes, speed dial! I hit the number one as he had been the number one person in my life until our problems. The phone rings...I panic and slam the phone down. My heart is beating rapidly and my hands are cold and sweaty.

What if another woman answers? What if he does not remember me? A hundred questions run through my mind and I lie back on the bed. The ringing of the phone startles me. Who could that be? I slowly reach for the phone and pick it up. "Angie? Angie darlin...are you there?"

I gasp and answer in a squeaky voice, "Bryan...is that you? What made you decide to call me?"

"Oh stop it Angie!" Bryan laughed. "You called here a few minutes ago and I am returning your call."

I laugh as I stroke my fingers through my long hair and remember call waiting. For some reason I am back when Bryan and I were dating. "So Bryan, what are you up to now?" I am searching frantically to find a common point in time to start our relationship on.

" I am up to six foot three the last time I checked." Bryan teased. "You been asleep or something? You told me you wanted to tell me about the research you have been working on."

He has no idea how asleep I have been and all these years! I frantically search to remember but can't recall much. I sit up and notice a green lab book on the shelf by my phone. I try to open it and skim read quickly and see that the research is at Princeton. "So that's it!"

"What? said Bryan in a surprised manner. "Are you on something Angie? What is wrong with you?"

I pause as a notation catches my eye...DNA strand twisting using lasers. I mark the page and turn my attention to Bryan's question. "No, I am fine...just tired I guess."

"Well, can we do something tomorrow?" he asks. I hesitate as I want to pursue my research then I remember the problems that I need to correct.

"I would love to do something fun...can we go hiking in the mountains and take a picnic lunch?" I wonder where that comes from and grin as Bryan answers.

"Are you sure you aren't on something Angie? You never want to do things with me, let alone hike in the mountains! I will pick you up at eight sharp tomorrow before you come back down from the mountains." Bryan was laughing, "Will that work for you?"

I am elated at the thoughts of having Bryan hold me again. "Of course, I will be ready and have a lunch packed. Does fried chicken and potato salad sound good?"

"Angel, whatever you are on...don't stop now!" he laughed deeply and I could picture his perfect green eyes framed with the long black spiky lashes.

"I....I love you Bryan! I will see you tomorrow." I put the phone back on the hook and smile. I knew I had a chance of working things out this time. I remember that I have many things to change now. I thought of myself bearing children. I pull up the covers around me and settle back for a long, restful sleep after setting my alarm.
