"We had such potential, such promise.. But we squandered our gifts, our intelligence... Our blind pursuit of technology.. Only sped us quicker to our doom." An old scientist says as she is making his possible last creation. "Our world, is ending. But life, must go on.." He put the rag doll looking item on a machine, and inserted a small circular object in a slot; it fit perfectly.
-------------------------------------------------------
The rag doll is still on the machine, only being held by a string on its right wrist. The string broke, and the circular object and the rag doll both fall on the table. After a few seconds, the rag doll's eyes opened, blinking a few times. It slowly sat up, looking at its hands, as if the concept of hands was new to it. Seeing its zipper open, then looking at the object, it slowly stands up, walks to the object, and grabs it. It then looked down at the floor, seeing a rotting corpse on the ground. The rag doll creature backs away and headed over to some old shutters. Using all of its might, it successfully opened the shutters, only to see a town in ruin, and almost completely destroyed. It then saw something move on the ground below, and humming could be heard. It tried to scream to get the thing's attention, but after a couple times of trying, it stopped, realizing it had no voice. Then, the creature puts the object inside of it, and closed the zipper. The rag doll then managed to get to the ground, and decided to go outside.
