The Circle of Life

Mr. Alias


"Are you sure about that Ms. Lucy? Are you sure you want to be a boy?"

The consultant asked Lucy in a calm voice, but with a soul seeing vision behind her thick heavy spectacles.

“Yes, I am sure Madam. I want to change my sex. I am fade up with the constant betrayal of men. Once my madam superior told me that if you want to change the system, become a part of it. So I want to be a man myself so at least one man in the world understands the feelings of women.”

“Your Madam Superior in the Orphanage was a robot. She told you a verse from the random programming, which seemed pertinent to it that time. But you are better than this; you are a human, so think before you act. I could understand like 90% of the people who come here to change his or her sex to fulfil sexual fantasies, but your reason is completely different. So I am asking again, do not take decision by haste.”

As Lucy signed the paper for her consent to change sex, she was bought in to the operation theatre. Here all her feminine parts are going to be replaced by the male organ. She is about to be injected with strong male hormones, her perfect round boobs are going to be replaced with masculine chest, beautiful curves of her body will be straiten, her inner thigh will make way for a man’s signature organ with just a stroke of a pen, showing her consent to become a ‘Him’.

Lucy got every right to hate every man in this world. She never knew her parents; she was left alone in front of an orphanage by a clocked male, as per the security cam report. Though the Orphanage is not what we used to know in the twentieth century, but it still a gloomy place to grow up. Even in the era of 3015, in-spite with all the modern facilities, still parents are irreplaceable.

Lucy was like a bright shining star in her orphanage. She became the youngest graduate and Phd degree holder in the country. Few people gave the credit to the constant medication she received for her brain development as a part of government project, but whatever may be the result, she showed outstanding brilliance in everything, particularly in the field of science and math.

Her early experience of left alone by a man, probably her father. never made her comfortable with her opposite gender, until she mate Samuel just after her completion of doctorate degree.

She was attending a seminar in Vancouver regarding the time and space and the neo-Einstein theory. A person from the back seat asked questions which were similar to her own line of thought. In fact, Lucy got few new ideas from his line of thought. Naturally she started spending more time with Samuel.


Samuel was never educated formally as far best of his knowledge. In fact he told Lucy, that he got no knowledge of his past. He just asked few random questions from the spectator’s seat that just floats around his mind. He told that he was destined to meet Lucy in the conference. Lucy was cautious about Samuel at first, but soon his intelligence, his common interests with Lucy swept her all doubts. She felt that they know each other for generations.


It was a whirlwind tour thereafter for Lucy and Samuel. They never thought love could be that beautiful. The theory of space and time ceased to exists when they looked at each other. Discussion of time hole and space wrap never felt so sweet. They were lucky that most of the waiter in the cafe shop the spend their time were robots, otherwise they could have been put in to the mental asylum for discussing the theory of relativity while holding hands to each other and talking about the error they made while drawing the Chandrasekharan curve after concluding a long French kiss.


Situation changed as soon as Lucy conceived. Lucy was very happy, she expected Samuel to be happier. When the metallic voiced confirmed that they are going to be a proud parents of a healthy female child exactly after 8 months, 15 days and 220 minutes later, and took her fertilized ovum out for safekeeping inside womb simulator incubator, a Samuel seemed really happy. He even hugged Lucy and tears of joy and happiness filled his eyes.

Samuel left Lucy next day. He runs away from her without giving any signs. In fact, it was so sudden that at first Lucy could not believe that he was absconded. She even requested the security officer authority to look for her love. She was suspecting a possible kidnap or even more cruel fate for Samuel. But, security officer turned down the possibilities since there was no evidence or motive. Samuel got practically no money or status, for which he could be targeted.

Love is blind, so at first, Lucy tried to find Samuel with all her efforts, she even thought that Samuel might have lost his memory again, so she put her missing news on air. When all her efforts could not produce any result, she could understood that Samuel do not want to be found.

Lucy never saw Samuel again till the day her embryo was stolen from the maternity home. It was another misery in her life that changes everything. When Lucy thought that she could spend rest of her miserable life with the support of her daughter, then fate once again laughed at Lucy.

Her about to be matured embryo was missing along with the portable incubator from the automated maternity home, just few days prior to her maturity. The security cams caught a glimpse of the man who stole the dream of Lucy, and it was none other than Samuel. He tried to hide his face behind long beard and black goggles, but when face-reconstruction shred off those, Lucy could easily identify Samuel.


Samuel was cruel enough to steal her happiness twice from her life. She could not believe her fate. In anguish and pain, she started to hate all men, all of them. She cursed her life; ultimately she decides to become one of the male species herself. She could not possibly change the past, but she could ensure that at least one female in this entire world to have a better future with a man.


It was a whole new unknown world for Lucy as ‘he’ stepped outside the clinic. The world looked so different as a man’s perspective. His walk, his talk, his habit everything changed with a small operation.
Lucy changed his name to Sunny as part of his new identity. Sunny needs time for acclimatization with this new body. He wanted to see the world; he wanted to give a second look at the same world, but this time with the eyes of so-called superior gender.

He travelled a lot, he moved from one city to another like a drifting wood in a stream. He roamed around till he met Abbott Jonathon, the greatest scientific mind in Eastern Europe.


Abott Jonathon was nick named as Abbott due to his superior knowledge and calm nature. Sunny never thought to find another man who will prove himself to be sensitive enough to provide support for an aimless unfortunate vagabond like Sunny. Abbott not only welcomed Sunny with his open arm, but also took him to his place. Sunny and Abbott joined hand together to finish the dream project of Abbott, The Time Machine.


Abbott has almost finished the machine all by himself, Theoretically this machine could take anybody up to twenty years back, but due to some technical error it never fired up. Abbott also told sunny that he never really could remember that how did he actually started building it, so he never tried it t a human. Plus, a serious side effect of time travel was that, a person could entirely lost his memory during time travel. Body parts of an individual may be dismantle and reformed again, but not his memory, at least not all of it. So Abbott always wanted to look for a suitable volunteer. It is possible to monitor the activities of the time traveller through the machine, but it was never advisable to intervene with the past, or the result could be devastating.

When Sunny helped him to finish the missing parts in the machine, Abbott was not ready to let Sunny sacrifice himself for the experiment. He cared for Sunny as his son, and it was a one way journey. He never agreed to Sunny’s plan even when he told Abbott about his past and the miserable life of Lucy.

But Sunny has his own reason. Now he got the chance to correct the error Lucy made in her life. He could travel in time and stop Lucy from meeting with Samuel once and for all. Few men in this world got the chance to correct his past error, Sunny got the chance and he is not going to let the opportunity go away that easily.

That night, Sunny left a letter for Abbott, explaining everything, wrote everything down in a piece of paper in case he had a memory loss during the travel and started the machine. The loud bang of wormhole creation and the collision of particle X made Abbott awake from his sleep. He quickly ran towards the machine to stop Sunny, but with a large bang Sunny disappeared. Only the sound of spinning wheel and flashing of electric switches left Abbott alone in his empty laboratory.

Inside of a time travelling wormhole can be only described as inside of a mother’s womb. Your non-existent body gets twisted, turned in to pieces, and reformed at the same time. You travel through a never ending tube of light and darkness at the same time, soaked in some kind of time juice. When with a big flash of light Sunny re-appeared in the past world, he had a complete memory loss. Everything seemed new to him. He could not remember who he is and what is he doing here.
Completely lost, he sat in a corner bench and put his hand inside his pocket to keep it warm. He could find a paper inside his pocket completely soaked and only few of the lines were readable.


Vancouver, Science conference, Samuel and Lucy…..Sunny left for Vancouver with the hope of finding his identity from Lucy. At the gate of the conference, the guard stopped him. It was an open to all conference, but he needs to register himself. Sunny kept on telling about his helplessness, but the robot keeps on asking his name. So frustrated Sunny read the paper in his pocket again and register himself as ‘Samuel”.


Abbott took three years to build another time machine. At first he felt helpless and handicapped with the absence of Sunny. But he always put the last letter of Sunny in front of him a material of motivation. He could track fragment of Sunny’s movement through the time window, Sunny left open while travelling through time. That made him work even harder. He needs to stop Lucy and Samuel/Sunny.

Samuel was very happy. He even bought a flower bouquet for Lucy, which got exactly 254 roses, the number of days he needs to wait to have their new guest. He wanted to present it to Lucy, love of his life. Samuel was walking near the park, and just then an old man came around from behind a tree and stopped his walk,


“Hello my dear Samuel, or should I call you Sunny, please don’t mind even if I call you as Lucy. My name is Abbott. I need to talk with you.”
The whole world became dark in front of the eyes of Samuel. He could not believe what he was listening.

“Trust me, it was a real shocker to me as well when I read this story when I find the note wrapped in a plastic sheet after coming here. I bought my notebooks also, where everything was written. It was surprising to me as well when I waked up inside the scrap yard one fine morning, and could not remember a thing. The very next day I find out that I am supposed to be a very intelligent scientist who is on a mission to if not stop, but to minimise the damage caused by an act of biggest perversion ever happened in the history of mankind. It took a while before I could muster my courage to come and talk with you.” Abbott tried to console Samuel.

‘So I am both the father and mother of the embryo who is waiting for its maturity inside a cosy warm lap of an incubator?” Samuel looked at Abbott with tears filled in his eyes.


“I am afraid so, it is better for us if we never let this embryo to mature, at-least not in this time quadrant,”
“How can I possibly kill my own seed?”
“I am not talking about killing, just you and Lucy and this female embryo should not exist in a same time dimension that’s all. And neither of you should see each other again in your life time.”


“Where should I go then? What should I do?”
Abbott stopped for a while. He needed time to prepare his next sentence. It was a matter of a life changing event for him and his dearest Sunny that he needs to brief him within few minutes.


“Listen Sunny. When you left, I saw your letter; rather I noticed your handwriting. It was exactly like me. I do not know how, but it seems that you and I, are one individual.”
Samuel, AKA Sunny looked at Abbott carefully. The Circle of Life has been disturbed once, law of the nature has been broken, nothing is impossible. Through his long beard and eyes covered in goggles, there was a definite similarity between them. Abbott placed his hand on the shoulder of Sunny,

“It is the law of the nature that old should make way for the new. I want you to get back in my place. I bought a second time machine while coming here through the worm whole. I want you to travel through time, to be Abott Jonathon of future. I left every document to complete my studies regarding our findings safely in my laboratory. I want you to start where I finished.”

“And what you will do then? Will you stay here? You told I and Lucy should not be in a same dimension. Is not it going to be dangerous if you and Lucy stayed in the same time frame? And what about my unborn baby? What about her?” Samuel seemed restless.


“Don’t worry about her. I will take her away before her maturity and shall take her far far away.”
“Where could you possibly go? They will find her through gene tracking in an instant. Where could you possibly run?”

“Look Sunny, I prepared long before coming here. I asked the questions several times to myself what you are asking me now. We have two problems. One, it is better to abide the law of the nature by taking this seed away from You and Lucy and avoid gene tracking, and secondly I and Lucy should not stay in a same time.. After you leave, I will use the machine for the last time, I should carry the incubator and its content to a time when Gene tracking was not invented. I should carry her twenty years behind.”

“And what you will do then? Do you think you are capable enough to raise her all by yourself?

“No, I don’t think so. Listen sunny, we need to be strong. She is your as well as mine. I will take her to an orphanage twenty years behind from now. There she will be safe and shall grow up to be a smart and intelligent. She will get the finest treatment as best as state could provide. I will stay away from her for her own betterment.”


Sunny got up from the bench, filled his lungs for the very last time with the air of this era and proceeds towards the underground junk yard where Abbott hid his time machine.
