Magnimum the most dangerous person to ever live
I present to you Magnimum the most dangerous person to ever live. Recalling his birth, he was born in Red Valley; a land engulfed with war after war. His parents were poor peasants and would do anything to ensure Magnimum’s life was well catered for until he was old enough to fend for himself. Love was all they felt for their son; hence when they decided to allow scientists to alter his genes and place a chip in him in return for a considerable sum of money, they had him and only him in mind. The bundle of money was to save him from future pain and struggles. They wanted him to fit in and have a normal childhood.
Life went on smoothly until he was fifteen. His body had a tremendous growth spat. He was bigger than his classmates in all ways. His voice was more profound. He had chin hair; he was taller and had big eyes and legs. His emotions could not control it in any way. Every feeling got expressed as an outburst. He was either outraged, very sad, very happy, or very annoyed. It did not matter what was going on around him; any emotion could get triggered. He got scientifically checked, but no scientist could explain what was going on.
At this time, his parents had passed away in a road accident when he was nine years old. They had shared the secret of what happened during his birth with no one. The uncle and the grandmother are the only families he knew. At this season of time, they did not understand what to do with him. They, however, still loved him. The community around them feared that household. This implies that community functions were of the calendar. No one allowed them to take part in anything, and when they decided to show up, they were the talk of the town.
With time Magnimum displayed more explosions, implying that he could no longer live with other human beings without harming them. He had killed various farm animals and defaced many little children without meaning to. The family knew that something had to get done, or else they would be ex-communicated. Some scientists who were researching about people with similar behavior finally traced him and took him away from his family before he could cause any harm that could not get reversed.
This was the end of the healthy life he had known. He got taken into an institution where he met his fellow men of caliber. The institution was designed such that it housed people with abnormal growth spat. The buildings were made of materials that were hard to break into. The rooms were taller or broader than the norm he had gotten accustomed to. The beds were more significant, the clothes were sown personally by an assigned sewer, and their meals were genetically modified foodstuffs. They required genetically modified food since the crop grew fast and could feed many people with no worry.
Most of the people here had an abnormality. Either they grew too much hair, were abnormally tall, or had more prominent ears than usual. Their emotions were always all over the place and needed to be chained frequently. Magnimum was no different physically but was a little different emotionally. He had co-existed with human beings enough to understand them. Meaning he did not display his beastly nature towards the relatively rational human beings.
Magnimum lived in isolation like the rest of his mates. He consistently missed home. He missed eating from plates, eating well-cooked meals, and his grandmothers’ night lullabies. He also missed playing with people who’s first instinct was not to fight. The rules of the center dictated that all of them be lushed using whips every evening. This was to make them lose the strength they would use in fighting so that they could go rest. This was a life he had not called for, and he felt that he did not deserve it. He craved for the day he could finally live that place, but it seemingly was never going to happen. He, however, did not confirm the status of his lock-up mates but tried to embrace his human nature more. The rest of the mates made him their punching bag. They picked on him every single time they had an opportunity to. He resisted to fight back most of the time.
With time he picked up a hobby, reading books. Every time he was not under strict supervision or was not required to be doing anything, he picked up a book and read. He began by reading books on how to cook, and with time, he was allowed to cook in the central kitchen. His next interest was music books. He got offered this genre of books with his mate in the kitchen. These books helped him remember his grandmothers’ lullaby, and he sang them when carrying out various activities.
The odd thing about his songs was that it made every restless being feel a sort of calmness. The scientists who were looking in were amazed at the way the songs calmed them. ; He did this once in a while, and those were the quietest moments those scientists had ever seen in the institution. When he was not singing, everyone was in everyone’s business—always picking unnecessary fights. One day the scientists waited for one of them to have an outburst and asked Magnimum to sing, the person’s eruption begun to fizzle away, and this was the beginning of the right turn of events.
Magnimum would now become the source of calmness in the institution. The scientists recorded his voice and played it when they required the atmosphere to be quiet. The analysis sessions were now made possible. The doctors were now able to extract samples from them. The samples were then taken through proper scrutiny.
After proper research, they found a similar gene alteration in most of the people held in the institution. They replicated this gene in lab rats, and they portrayed the same signs. The scientist figured out that suppressing the gene would give the people their healthy lives back. They researched using reverse engineering how to do it and managed to change the outcome. Once it had worked on the lab rats, on the rabbits, they started experimenting with it on human beings.
Within a short period, they had recovered and were not considered a threat to the community. Their hugeness shrunk down to standard height and weight. They could now eat a typical plate of food and get satisfied but remember they had lived all their lives wildly, so they did not know what to do in given social situations. The next two months were filled with training on how to become like human beings. They ate using utensils; they read and wrote and learned skills that would make them relevant to society. They learned about pets, farm animals, and their relation to humankind.
After the teachings and when they were satisfied that the people were human friendly, they were left to integrate with the conventional society. It worked out just fine for most of them. The community accepted them back in, especially Magnimum’s family. They were grateful to have him again. The team of scientists, together with Magnimum, were recognized by the mayor of the city and rewarded. Most of the reformers eventually turned into security enforcers since they were used to a life of having to handle criminal activities. They had lost their energy but still performed some activities faster than the average human beings.
The question that arose was what would happen to their future generations. Would they be born with deformities? Would it reach a point when the drugs faded, and they went back to their original behaviors? Could they sire offsprings? Would the community fully accept them knowing their past? They, however, decide to live in the present and not worry about the future.
