16th of April, 2016. It's been a year and three months now since Vincent has been in a state of comatose. We successfully drained out the venom from his blood with help from Eyo who graduated summa cum laude from Nnamdi Azikiwe University in the medical sciences. At 11:30am the sun didn't come up creating a dull atmosphere, it seemed to affect our responses to each other, Udeme and Ntekim refused to come out of their room, the five soldiers just languid about---one of the soldiers (Omawunmi) thought it wise to cook up a minestrone she claimed she learned when she was in Italy. Eyo was somewhere in the house with the kids, I could hear their laughter. With more time at my disposal I developed and recently finished a machine I named Renewable O2. I designed it to harness atmospheric water or moisture even sweat from humans and use it to produce consumable water. I was inspired by the drought that had swept through earth, I estimated by calculations that by 2023 if we were still on earth our oceans and rivers would have dried up or worse be contaminated leaving us without water. I wasn't the first to come up with the machine but when this concatenation began the company working on it collapsed so I finished what they started. It's functionality was basic; there are three chambers, the first chamber contains a hygroscopic material or desiccant sometimes I use brine or calcium chloride which absorbs atmospheric moisture, a lighting system shows the operator when the first chamber is full of moisture. In the second chamber the moisture is decontamination and heated on low temperature to convert to liquid, chlorine and other chemicals are used to purify water. Finally, the third chamber stores it as clean water for drinking.
Beautiful people, hope you're enjoying your read? The machine described above is real oh😆
