Part III. Chimera

 

Chapter 69 A long journey through time and space (1)

 

Chimera having the ability of ethnic cleansing was the most atrocious creatures on the Earth. The atrocious Chimera was parasitic on the most atrocious animal, human beings. What was the future of Chimera? It was an undesirable future for Chimera itself. This was because the parasite Chimera was inextricably linked to the life of its host, Palestinians. In other words, when the host Palestinians died out, the Chimera itself was destined to die out.

 

Chimera instinctively understood the fact. The self-replicated Chimera decided to return to the Creator somewhere in the universe. It was more correct to say that the order was written in the Chimera’s DNA rather than the Chimera's own will.

 

The Chimera moved from Palestinian girl Lulu to her uncle, jet pilot Abdullah who had taken part in the attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. And then the Chimera moved onto a rocket hanging from Abdullah’s body when he coughed inside the fighter jet.

 

Immediately after that, the nuclear explosion took place in the stratosphere above Iran. The neck of pilot was severed. The clasp of rocket was melted down and opened. The photo inside the rocket became torn. A powerful shock wave from the explosion caused the rocket to fly away from the Earth at fierce speed.

 

It was a short period that the rocket was exposed to high temperature and shock wave. The rocket was immediately surrounded in the vast space. The Chimera in the rocket was exposed in the space of zero gravity and absolute zero degree. It fell into hibernation and began the long journey to the Creator.

 

Where to? How long? For what? ----------.


But such questions were not Chimera's own. It was nothing more than a question of human beings who lived on the small planet called the Earth. Human beings asked question what they had no knowledge of or had never experienced. Human beings could hardly know about the outer space beyond the earth, and they had almost no experience in outer space.

 

What nobody knew scared human beings. They, therefore, cast question on themselves. Once casting question, they could suppress their fears for a while until they found the answer (even if they couldn’t know when they got answer). In other words, human beings cast their question to themselves in order to suppress their fear.
