Chapter 1: An New Discovery

Walt walked through the walls of the Experimental Section of California's Energy Laboratory or CEL for short. It was a newly made company, and it had already stunned the world by revealing discoveries about matter and energy that no one knew about. "Ah! Walt, I'm glad you came." Dr. Harry beckoned him. "This is serious." Walt walked over. "What is?" he asked. "You know that our country has been at war with North Korea for a few years now." (No offense to Americans and Koreans)

Walt nodded. "So?"

"What I am saying is, that this war should have been over a long time ago."

"There is nothing we can do about it." Walt said. "The matter of concern is that North Korea has an army now that is much larger than USA's. They are even getting the help of other countries. This must end quickly. I don't want there to be a World War Three. North Korea has more nuclear weapons which are better than ours. If they wanted to, they could wipe us out anytime." Walt nodded. "But I don't get it. What part do we have in all this? We are scientists, Harry!"

Harry looked at him. "Yes! We are scientists! Here at CEL, we have accomplished so much! We work with all energy. Surely there must be some kind of weapon we can use to threaten the Koreans! It will increase this lab's reputation even more!"

"Are you even listening to yourself?!" Walt said angrily. Harry backed a bit away. "A weapon!? You want to create a weapon!? That would increase the chances of a World War that you are so afraid of! And all for what? Reputation? We already have a lot of reputation! We won't make weapons, Harry! I'm the boss and I say no! Deal with it!" Harry looked down. "Yes, sir." he said. "And don't call me 'Sir'. I made that clear the first time I got this job." Harry nodded.

Harry and Walt had been friends for a long time. But ever since Walt got the job as Head of the Experimental Section, there was a hint of jealousy in Harry. He gave Walt recommendations as to what the Section should do next. But Walt realized that Harry's decisions always had major flaws. Maybe that was the reason, Walt became Head instead of Harry.

After working his hours, Walt went back home.His wife, Debbie, opened the door and greeted him with a kiss. "Hey, handsome." she said. Walt and Debbie loved each other a lot. They were the perfect couple. Debbie sadly, couldn't give birth, but Walt loved her all the same. "I'm so glad to be home!" he said.

"I'm sure, you'll be wanting to go to bed quickly." she said with a wink. He got the idea and smiled. They had a wonderful dinner and went to the bedroom.

Walt woke up to the sound of his cellphone ringing. He looked at the time. 5 AM. He had to go to the Lab at 9 AM. So he definitely had more time to sleep. Who's calling him at this time? He took the phone, which was still ringing. "Hello? Walt Jenkins." he said. "Walt, this is the CEO of CEL." Walt sprang up. Debbie woke up and looked at him sleepily. "Yes, sir!" he said. "I'm sorry to wake you up at this time for your work starts at nine, but this is important." Walt listened, intently. "The Discovery Section have found a new kind of Matter. It has some...unique properties. I would like you to go to your workplace now and make experiments on it."

"Yes, sir. I will." Walt cut the call and groaned. "I'm sorry, babe. I have to go now." he said. Debbie smiled. "It's okay." she said. "I'm sure it's something worthwhile." A few minutes later, Walt was examining the report on the new Matter. "Let's run tests." he said. The other scientists nodded. "We start with the living cell experiment." The scientists again, nodded. They entered the experimental room wearing radiation suits. One of them carried the Matter in a jar. It was purple in colour and in gaseous state.

A leaf was kept in a cuboidal glass vessel. The gas was released inside and the vessel was quickly closed. After sometime, one of the scientists, put his hand inside and removed the leaf. Walt was watching all this from the Observation Room. Tests were made on the leaf. There were no different results. The leaf was still healthy. "So the Matter doesn't affect living things." Walt said. "Try the dead cell experiment." he said.

The same process took place. But this time, a dead leaf was used. When the leaf was removed, it was...alive. There was nothing wrong with it. Tests were made on the leaf. It was healthy in all aspects. Harry came up to Walt. "This is the discovery of the millennia. This Matter...has the ability to bring back the dead." he said. "We have to think of what we should do with this Matter." Walt said. "I'm already thinking of something." Harry thought in the back of his mind. "For now, let's just run more tests." Walt said.

Harry had a certain thought in his mind. He knew that it would change the world as we know it.
