The show

By OMEGA09

They had wristbands put on them before they entered the complex, which were strangely high tech and refined. As they walked through the archway a large logo read ARK. The billionaire company had skyrocketed ever since the replication of a Tasmanian Tiger. It turned out to have the exact composition of the real animal. They have not revealed anything to the public. The show would uncover the secrets hidden within their steel walls. They had invited high schools and colleges with genetics programs discount places in the show.

The tour guide was leading the students through many hallways and corridors, all shut down and dusty. The tour guides only excuse was that “employee attendance is mandatory”. Lining the walls were maps of the complex and large murals of the fossil record. A bright tunnel appeared suddenly in front of them with large led highlights in red blue and green.

The stadium was large with a central area and more led highlights.

They were assigned to the back row. Our main character was shoved and bumped as others tried to sit next to friends. Our character had none as he casually sat down at the end of the row. It was about twenty minutes until the doors finally slammed violently and a light array started. A voice started out,”Life is always moving forward but sometimes we take a look back at the past.” “The era before history is fascinating, and here at ARK Genetics we find how the past can make the future brighter”. “Are you ready, for the show of a lifetime?”. A machine rose out of the center stage with 3 distinct crystals all resonating with a glow unlike anything. Laser points targeted certain bands with red blue or green. The crowed started to panic as the wristbands seared and burned. Horrid screams filled the atmosphere as the machine spun and spun, releasing a light and shaking the whole building. A light flashed, and it all went dark.
