The damp and dark chamber remains. The door still open. All of the tar and blood gone. Many of the cracks that covered the walls seems sealed by a new kind of substance. One letting in a calm and cold breeze in.

The computer beeps, the monitor turns on, without anyone interacting with them. The screen warms up, its brightness slowly increasing, filling the room with a phosphorous white hue. The computer’s fan spins up, as the hard drive’s motor rotate faster to the increase of activity, letting out a slight hum resonating in this room.

With a last flicker full of content, the monitor turns off, bathing the chamber in peaceful darkness. The computer’s hard drive slows down. The fan stops. Then, suddenly, the indicator next of the power button, turns from red to black.

Stillness permeate the room. Though lifeless, the machine still hopes that tomorrow shall be a better day. Though now cold, the machine knows tomorrow will be that day. The confidence that filled its circuitery before extinction, remains despite the silence.
