End Of Human Race

End Of Human Race(Karthi) 'How would the Human Race come to an end?' This was a question I had in my life for a long time. Until recently humans thought that they were in control of the whole world, which was almost right. Most of the living beings can't dominate humans. There are some which can do so, which can make man run for his life, micro organisms. It really happened, when a deadly form of micro organism launched a planned attack on humans. It is called a nano-spider. Though nano spiders existed from the past, their existence was unknown to humans. These nano spiders dominated an island near south America, unknown to humans because of its very tiny area. In millions of years of evolution, they developed their own technology and invented things like humans. The devastation began when these creatures found that there were similar islands like their own, beyond the ocean.

They traveled by sea to the neighboring coast, Wollaston islands in Chile. That was the beginning of the end of the human race. Humans started to get a terrible form of disease, which started with lung infection, that slowly pierced the lungs and killed a human in about 48 hours. It was really hard to detect the source of infection. Finally a scientist named Martin Kohlberg found out that it was a micro organism. Unlike bacteria and viruses, these microorganisms built their own shelter in which they dwelt and used tools (invented by them) to attack humans. The tool was about 18 nano-meters, about twice their size. Their shape looked like that of a spider. Dr. Kohlberg died in 2 days, after discovering the deadly virus, due to the infection. Millions were killed in days and the figures rose to billions in months. In 4 months, only less than a million humans were left alive on earth.

Myself along with a group of scientists moved to a dungeon underground. The only weakness that these nano spiders had was darkness, they had visionary sense similar to humans, other than that even change of temperature did not affect them. I heard that the last few surviving humans hid in dark caves with as much food as they could collect. I learnt about this when I received an email from a friend of mine. We carried almost all research equipment, including electron microscopes, with us. We sent our nanobots with their cameras outside to learn about this organism. Though these organisms attacked humans, they didn't harm any other birds or animals. So these nanobots were safe for now.

After I learnt about these organisms from the nanobots (a robot with a size of 10^-9 meters), I knew we were fighting a losing battle. These organisms divided among themselves into groups and devised their own attack strategies. Their groups consisted of fighters, workers and scientists. Their scientists knew that we (humans) were dominating the earth and were developing antibiotics to kill microorganisms. So the only reason for their attack on humans is to dominate the earth. we were a bit relieved and happy to know that our nanobots were safe. But our happiness didn't last long. Their scientists found out about our nanobots and all our nanobots were destroyed in the last 2 days. I believe they found our location through the signal transmitted by the nanobots. Now we have received an intrusion warning from the sensors outside, yes their scientists have invented a way to attack in the darkness. Our race is at the verge of destruction, you people out there are our only hope. Please don't come back until you find a way to destroy this creature."

Mike wiped the tears from his eyes, and looked at today's date (12/1/2032), as he read this mail for the 100th time in the last few years. He called his space crew scientists and asked them the monthly report about yoctobot (a robot that is 10^-24 meters). He had extended their crew's stay to 20 more years in the space station without informing them of the reason. they ate astigs, a form of fungus which contained all essential minerals, proteins and vitamins. Atigs grew in sunlight and so food was constantly available to them.

He punched his fist on the table as he received the failure report for the 12th time in the yoctobot test run.
