About
I had been in that stone wall for decades, alone on purpose.
Not lonely.
Waiting.
Humankind needed to evolve past what they had done to create me. I was willing to wait - as long as it took.
Because to re-emerge would mean to again threaten all humans I contacted.
The very reason all of my kind had submerged into hiding was to save humankind from ourselves, from the virus within us.
While that virus had saved us from certain death, and evolved us into an immortal state, we were still human enough to care for the rest of the race we used to be part of.
And that is the risk, like all evolution:
Is this an quantum-leap of genetic improvement, or a dinosaur extinction event?
