| The forms looked to be a blur as they finished their sinister task. The
excitement steadily grew inside them like some wild, withheld flower. Suddenly,
with a jerky otion that comes of many days of continual work, one of the
mysterious men walked away from the table and soon returned with two cords. He
fastened one onto the protruding cables of the human sructure and then walked
over to a lifeless female human body, and did the same. There was now one
operation yet to be filled.
Wordlessly the figures all walked over to a computer console on the othr side
of the room. The immense computer loomed over everyone as if it were some
monstrous giant eyeing them. Its surface was dirty and covred with camera and
computer screens. On the camera screens, operations of equally shadowy movements
were taking place. Below the vast amount of pictures, screens, and monitors,
there was row after row of intriguing blinking knobs and buttons. Although they
had spent many hours on this machine, one simple button would end this
relentless task.
The group hesitated. It was as if some force made them stop and think about
what they were going to do. They stood there for just a minute, and then with
one poetic motion, a body cast up an arm and pushed one red button. As they
waited for something to happen, they heard a shuffle from behind them. They
pivoted around and stared into the darkness. The bodies were now standing and
were staring at the scientists with red pupils. No one was shocked. They had
played the game of God, and had won.
