For reasons unknown to you, you stopped aging at age 25 and never declined in health. At first, no one noticed, not even yourself. As it became more obvious, you subjected yourself to rigorous tests, which all came up inconclusive. Now, over 200 years later, some people have begun to view you as a god on Earth, something you never expected during all this time.
You don't know what happened that day. Perhaps you will never unlock your memories, and perhaps this story will remain buried within you forever.
It was a normal day. I was busy tinkering in my lab, trying to create a new kind of material that would have the ability to stop aging. I was trying to recreate a rare alloy found in nature because it could stop aging, but it was, as they say, really difficult.
Today all the research came together in one highly productive session. I was extremely pleased that I finally came up with the formula. With it, there will be lot more work to come, but my current progress was enough to be considered a breakthrough.
It was only then when I had a short meal and was taking a short walk outside my lab to get some fresh air that I realized that my time had come. I have lived a long life, and there was so much more I had wanted to do during my time here. However, it was not to be, as fate has decided that it should end now.
As I was walking, I noticed that several chickens in the surrounding area had suddenly fallen unconscious as if they were dead. I took them all to my lab, which was filled with tools of all kinds, and started running tests on them. The results were disturbing. All the chickens were dead, even when they were not. Their bodies were animated by something until decay reared its ugly head. They were dead.
I went back to my lab to tell my assistants. They were shocked and extremely worried.
''This is terrible!''
We had worked so hard on our research, and it did not seem like much to others, but it was our passion and we considered it the most noble deed to take on the most difficult challenges. Everyone else was so complacent about the current state of science, but we wanted to change that. We wanted to make a difference. We wanted to solve all the world's woes. To see it all fall into oblivion with time was devastating.
We all went back to our work, but it was clear the sadness was palpable and everyone was in a very low state.
While we were all working in our separate laboratories, I happened to take a glance at my assistant. I noticed that he looked unusually pale and ill. I came closer to him so that I could get a better look.
''Are you alright?'' I asked.
''It is nothing. I feel ill and will go rest,'' he replied. ''Do not worry about me, please. I am fine. I needed some time off, I will be fine. However, I should go now.''
He went off to his room to rest and I went back to my lab. Now that I had more time, I could publish my discovery to the world. I published it to all the relevant journals, and the community did not take long to respond. I had responses from all over the world. I was extremely happy with their response. The world agreed that it was a big discovery.
I saw that my assistant had not moved at all since he left my lab. I did not want to bother him anymore so I went for a bite to eat and headed back to my lab. When I returned, I saw that he was much worse.
