Chapter 1 : A child

Humanity, the smartest species on earth. Or are we?

We keep destroying each other with wars and weapons.But finally humanity have achieve true peace by the creation of a dirty bombs that wipe out entire town. Is that peace?

As long as no one dies we can count it as peace. But, there are something that we overlooked here. Wealth inequality, 1% of the world population holds more than half of the world wealth. They literally controlling the world. And here we are fighting over race,gender and sexual preferences.

Still think humans is the smartest?

One day,in the streets of New York city,John (a homeless person) is searching for food in the trash can when he was bumped a 4 years old child eating some food leftover in the trash can. He take that child to his "home" and let him sleep with him until he can find the child's parents.

The child finally spoke,

"I don't have parents."

"Then how are you here boy, you magically popped out of that trash can without any mom?" he replied jokingly

" I mean i don't know who my parents is you old fart" the child said

" whoa, don't make me throw you back into that trash can you ungrateful bastard" he said angrily while scratching his beard

"..."

The abandoned train station where they stayed became silence. Not a sound was heard. John gave the child his blanket and his jacket and told him to sleep.

"Thanks" said the child with a shy look on his face

"Umm, your welcome" said John, his impression for this child has change completely by hearing that word. He thought that kid was just another brat that will turn out to be a drug addict or pickpocket but he clearly could tell that that child was "different"

As they both lie down on the cold train station floor, John ask that kid,

"So, whats your name kid?"

"I dont know"

"Ohh sorry" said John as he was feeling guilty

"Can you give me my name?"the child ask

"Umm, how about Steve?" the old man suggest as he looked on the railway.

"No that sound dumb" John thought to himself.

the child said "That sounds GOOD, thank you"

he suddenly hugged John.

John was surprised and cant even talk . He have lived all his life alone for more than 20 years. He rarely talked to others but when this child hugged him he doesn't feel discomfort at all. He even hugged that boy back and almost cry because he was too happy.

"what was this feeling? why do i feel this way? why do i feel like i want to stay with this kid for the rest of my life? is this love?" he thought to himself.

As the cracked clock on the wall strike 12 they both go to sleep.

The boy, now known as Steve sleep soundly while John cant sleep because he was too happy.
