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 break through that will ultimately bring about a vaccine for cancer, curing those who have it and preventing anyone else from ever catching it. Delighted by her amazing discovery, Jade decides to propose to Natalie. However when Jade does decide to propose Natalie 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 Natalie 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 Natalie replies ‘What’s the worst that could happen’…
