The break in time and genes

 Finally the sun was to be recreated on earth. This could be the turning point for humanity. International thermonuclear experimental reactor was late by 15 years but its activation was much awaited world wide! The next phase of humanity was to commence, but not in the way imagined.

The day finally arrived, The second of November. However the results were not exactly as anticipated. 

New humans had come into existence! 

There was a world wide programme to capture the new humans and to be put into quarantine. We knew so little about them.

Strange news was trickling in from all corners of the world. There were sudden deaths among the existing humans. 

The scientists soon realised that there had been a break in the time. Humans from 200 BC have been moved into the current timelines! History was alive!

Languages, cultures, traditions from the long past were now living! 

But a lot had changed in the meanwhile, people had migrated, populations had mixed, cultures moved on! In some places, people could still communicate with their new visitors, in others there was nothing in common!

The strange deaths were identified to be breaks in genealogy. If you killed a single visitor, all their descendents would vanish! 

What to do with these visitors was a pressing issue throughout the world. There were massive protests around the world to free these people and let them integrate into the society. But how could this be allowed! 

Their genetic make up was not capable of handling today's disease, their social values were not compatible with today's timeline. Their religion, politics and beliefs are a relic from the past. What if they start breeding in current timelines, or worse what if they start breeding with people from current timelines!

They must be kept alive for the current timeline to survive, but how?


The time is 2nd Novemeber 2050, place earth. Humanity’s step into the future has brought it face to face with its past.

Murphy's world

  Everything did go bad! Sun, the god of so many civilizations, the giver of warmth and life, now wants to burn! The rivers, goddesses to be worshipped, along whose banks humanity thrived, now carry currents of acid.  It looked like Nature, treated as feminine force of nurture, had finally abandoned its spoiled brats. Along with humans, all other life suffered, even the ever elegant trees. The air is hazardous, the storms bring dust and poison. Volcanoes were busy redistributing lands, taking some and creating some. The ocean currents had weakened, and europe, western north america had frozen over. While siberia and eastern north america were desertified. The legion of Iron were all that was left to clear off the mess. We had to try to clean up the mess and create large enough areas where the remaining plant and animal species could take root and create self-sustaining ecosystems. Yes, like the ones destroyed. It was ironic that the places most suited to this were the volcanic...

The mammoth death

  In the Siberian plains Mammoths had been hunted for long. But something else was going on with the Inushi. They had figured out that it was better to have these large animals as partners than on plates. The impact of this was felt quickly. They were able to dominate all local tribes and their own population grew rapidly. The Inushi were as intelligent as they were ruthless. They had figured out ways to trick nature.  From every batch of mammoths, they selectively culled the males keeping only the most docile and co-operative ones. The females were all allowed to breed and were even captured from the wild from the breeding program.  They had extended the same trick to humans. When a new tribe was subdued all males were killed and females distributed among the men to increase their population. But trouble was brewing. The Mammoth population was not able to keep up with the human population. Recently the rate of stillbirths too was increasing among the Mammoths. Aspiration...

The twin shall never meet

  A strange girl has walked into the fortified village. Her green eyes are red and swollen, apparently due to excessive crying. A crowd has gathered to witness the strange creature. Some are confused, some scared, who is this person or more aptly what is this person.  She has white skin like the slaves but green eyes like those of the masters! The masters were aghast at the sight! The gods shouldnt allow this! Their slaves cowering behind them were only shocked! ‘You witch! How have you done this?’ asked the old shaman. ‘Why did the guards not stop you from entering!’ she thundered. ‘Why would the guards stop me? Any person with magical eyes can enter and go as per their will. Isn't that the rule? ‘ the girl said in a calm voice. She was barely 16 and wearing a fur robe. Her sleeves intentionally lifted to expose her arms - that weren’t brown! ‘Everyone knows that magical eyes can show up only in the ones descended from earth, not the ones descended from snow!’ the lady shaman...
