The lab, I can’t go back, not again,
never again. Why did I agree to that experiment? It was unethical, even at a
cursory glance. The money was great, and my job was on the line, but even then,
I knew my conscience would never let me live with myself. The screams, I can’t
get them out of my head. They were so loud, so frequent, so numerous that I
couldn’t tell which belonged to the subject and which belonged to my peers.
I ran, I’ll admit that much. The
experiment went out of control, and my peers suffered as a result. I knew
trouble when I saw it, and when everyone else was getting ready to celebrate, I
slipped away to a safe distance. There was an observation deck with protective
glass, it was empty because everyone wanted to see the results up close. I
stayed up there for a while, as the experiment reached its conclusion, it was a
horrific sight.
I don’t know if it was a mistake in
our calculations, or if the experiment was always doomed. I didn’t want to
think about it, I ran within a minute, but the screams carried with me until I
left the building. I should have told someone on my way out, got security down
there. I know I caught several concerned stares, and a few even tried to stop
me. However, my body moved on its own, and I left them all to their fate.
I’m sure it’ll be on the news any
minute now, they won’t be able to cover it up. I’m probably going to be blamed
for it, sabotage or something. I am an fault, but I never did anything with
intention of causing this catastrophe. My only sin was agreeing to this blasted
experiment in the first place. Although, it’s not like this result would be any
different if I refused.
I should probably go, hop on a plane
out of the country now while I still can. That’d probably be the best result I
can hope for. Alas, my morals are telling me to stay, to face my
responsibilities head-on. But does it even matter, do I really have a choice?
There might not be a chance for me to escape this madness, whether they catch
up to me, or the experiment does.

Sometimes we're pressed into actions we don't agree with because of factors outside our control. In the end, when it all catches up to you the only thing you can decide is whether to run or face the consequences. Until next time, Read, Comment and Enjoy
