To Find the Cure or to not Find the Cure (Worldly Challenge)

by Blusparrow

“I have found the cure!” the scientist yelled. She held the container in the air. “This is what will cure cancer. Any cancer it can kill it all! I have tested rats and one human. I will not follow in I am Legend’s footsteps. It was tested and tested and this will work.” She starts doing the cabbige patch. “It was almost like it is a dream. Oh no..”

All the sudden she wakes up. If only it wasn’t a dream, she thought. It was just something that may never become reality. She worked as a scientist to find a cure, to save her husband. He was dignosed with terminal skin cancer a month ago. She wanted to save him. Finding the cure became her life, barely spending time with her husband. She tried to keep her thoughts up that she would find a cure. She just hoped it wouldn’t be too late then.

    Sorry it took me so long. I even said on my comment to the challenge that I had a good idea and that was it. It just took me forever to put it into something.

    Definitely would be a nice thing that a lot of people are really working on. And I thought it was a nice touch giving it a personal meaning and context for the character, with even that extra little bit of irony/tragedy/folly of missing time with her husband in pursuit of the cure. Nicely done.
