Two men sit alone in an office. The first stares intently
into the seconds eyes and says “Do you wish to continue your relationship with Miss
Natalie?” suddenly the audience is transported deep into the mind of Leo
Hardwin (the second man) and the year is 2050. The world as we know it is at an
end. It has been transformed into a wasteland infested with marauders, mutants
and other sickening creatures. Sitting alone in a pile rubble and filth squats
Morgan Phoenix (the first man) the once handsome and business like man is now barely
a shadow of his former self. He looks older and wearier.
He begins talking but
the audience does not immediately see to whom he is addressing. The camera then
reveals it to be a tin can, showing that Morgan has indeed lost his mind. As
Morgan retells the tale of how a simple break up can bring about the end of
humanity he reaches for the can, the audience is transported again, this time
into a coffee shop. Two girls (Natalie Richardson and Jade Wilson) talk about
their relationship and all of Jades success in the last few years. Jade then
returns home and sits down in front of an empty shelf. The scene moves into
hyper fast forward and the shelf begins to fill with newspaper clippings,
awards, medals and trophies.
However whilst Jade
is celebrating the success of her scientific career, Natalie goes to visit a friend
from the office. As she scans the room
for her friend the camera then settles upon Leo. She sits down and the two
begin to converse. They talk about how Natalie and Jades cure for cancer is
progressing, they also talk about how obsessed Jade has recently become with
her work. As time goes on Natalie and Leo start seeing each other more and more
frequently.
Jade however is
becoming more and more obsessive about her work and begins to neglect those
around her, right up until she makes a brea k
through that will ultimately bring about a vaccine for cancer, curing those who
have it and preventing anyone else from ever catching it. Del ighted
by her amazing discovery, Jade decides to propose to Natal ie. However when Jade does decide to
propose Natal ie
is no longer sure if she can follow through with a relationship that she is no
longer sure she can maintain.
With her love for Leo increasing and her relationship with
Jade failing she decides to reject Jade’s proposal and call an end to their
relationship. The next day Jade is working hard on the final touches to her
cure for cancer. Whilst she is working however she spies Leo and Natal ie walking down the
drive to the lab together laughing and joking. Outraged Jade slams her fist
onto the table. Unbeknownst to her however this fit of rage sets off a small train
of events that lead to a small drop of a substance bearing the toxic symbol
into a test tube marked ‘Final Cure’ As the drop of toxic substance hits the cure
sample the audience is then transported back into the office.
Morgan then repeats “Well? Will you be continuing your
relationship with miss Natalie?” to which Leo replies “No sir I’ll end it right
away” After this Leo goes home and is sitting alone. Natalie then messages him
asking if he would like to come and meet her for dinner some time. Leo replies
that he does not think it would be appropriate, To which Natal ie replies ‘What’s the worst that could
happen’…
