If I choose not to
#WritcoStoryChallenge
I blinked as I regained consciousness. I had hit my head hard, or had someone hit me? Then I realised I was holding a bloody knife in my hand. Since when I am holding this knife? My hand got mark of knife handle. Then I tried to get up, but suddenly my hand hit my head again. Each time I tried to stand on my feet, it happened. Moreover, I began to realize, I was not alone there. Everyone in that dark room, was doing same thing like me, stabbing head with sharp knives. Why are everyone poking their own head? I shouted. Then a voice came over. In a husky tone, someone replied, "it's the results of your work on the world, where you were given knowledge, but you misused that wisdom, didn't help the people who were less intelligent than yours." For a blink of moment the dream felt so true that, I have started to tremble. My wife woke up, gave me the water bottle and start asking questions about what happened. After seeing her face, I contained my sense of state, and barely able to say, 'nothing, it was a nightmare.' Then I saw the notifications of emails. It was my boss's encrypted mail . He was asking me to give the new formulation of a vaccine, I developed with my team which can cure millons of people worldwide, if I choose not to.
