In the beginning there was War, Government, Right, Wrong, and Politics. I've decided that For the People of the world to grow and evolve we must escape from those tyrannies. How many times has the government stepped in and stopped a project that could be beneficial? How many ideas were ostracized because the Politicians didn't approve of it? Why must right and wrong stop us from achieving the impossible? I have chosen none of that instead… I have chosen Rapture.
Rapture a city at the sea's depths hidden from the world, a city where freedom is the solution. In Rapture there are no rules. Rapture a city that won't collide with evolution. A city that doesn't control but you control it.
First, the shocking adrenaline jolt, that surged through his body, awakening him. As he stepped out of the tube his breathing regulated. Am I dead he thought to himself? Jacob Tenenbaum had only been in The City Rapture for twenty minutes before someone hit him in the back of the head with a two by four steel pipe leaving a gash in the back of his head. He watched his surroundings as more people crowded to see the dying man. Then it all went pitch black and he was gone.
Jacob looked at the object in front of him that was posted on the wall. He was in awestruck, how could something like this even be possible? He was amazed by the machine against the wall that told time and the date. Little did he know he was staring at the evolutionary clock before it was even thought up in Topside. There was noise of fighting and explosions coming from another area. He looked around and found a one way door. Jacob finally began to walk toward the door. At the top of the door it read in gold letters Kashmir Reception. Jacob opened the door and walked out into the chaos. Jacob wanted to hide as he witnessed a man in a dirty ripped blood soaked suit attack a woman in a red dress. Jacob had to do something quick or that woman was going to end up dead. By the door he came through Jacob saw a pipe so he picked it up; he was thinking this will have to do. A sudden fury blew out of him as he lunged toward the mad man. The pipe struck its target first on the arm, then the side of the attackers face and finally Jacobs's last swing lodged the pipe in the man's esophagus. Blood sprayed across the area as the dying man tried to remove the pipe from his neck. Suddenly the man dropped to his knees and then fell to his side. In Jacob's mind all he kept thinking was I just killed a man.
Jacob was too lost in thought that he didn't notice the woman picking up a two by four. She swung as he snapped out of his trance, the piece of wood missed him by a mere inch. "Woah… easy there lady… I was only trying to help", as he backed away from the woman. He caught a glimpse of her face as one of the lights flickered back on. Jacob was horrified to see what he witnessed, her face was disfigured and covered in blood. Right then and there Jacob knew that maybe he shouldn't have saved her. The crazed woman lunged at him, her animalistic attack knocked the pipe away from his hand as he watched it roll under the reception desk. Then he felt his body pushed back with such force that made him feel like he was knocked over. The demented woman now on top of Jacob began to beat him senselessly as he struggled to break free. He thought to himself as he felt his life flashing before his eyes, this woman isn't human…. What is she? Jacob closed his eyes and readied himself for the final blow, it never came. Instead he heard the sound of a bullet, and then a body dropped with an unexpected thud. He opened his eyes to see another woman facing him in the opposite direction he was laying on the floor with a Webley Mk IV revolver smoking in her hand. He thought to himself, not another one. He expected her to pull the trigger again and end his life, but the bullet never came. Instead she tossed the pistol near him and said, "Take it, you'll need it" and she opened a door and walked away. Jacob pulled himself together as he started to walk toward the door the woman disappeared behind. He paused in front of the door and read Rapture.
