## Background

"Distribution panel, checked. Switch, checked. Powering up..." It's always the same. The tedious procedure had burned its mark on my muscle memory. I'm pretty sure I can turn on this noisy beast in my sleep. The man in charge might disagree, though. It's the most precious treasure to him, after all.

A machine that can generate electricity is nothing less than a gold mine in a post-apocalyptic world, wouldn't you agree? As for us? We are just a bunch of slackers who need to rest and be fed. At least, that's what the foreman calls us. "I'll replace you useless shit with Machines, sooner or later!"" he shouted, as usual, but I knew he wouldn't do so, for a cheapskate like him paying us with leftovers won't spend an extra coin on expensive machines.

"This is all we do! Checking and repairing! I can't tell if I'm alive or working in this stupid power plant called hell!" I vented my anger on the machine next to me.

"Stop complaining, Fernando. Look on the bright side. At least we still have a job. A lot more people..."

"... A lot more people out there live in slums and only have grass to eat! I know, Maurer! That's all you ever said. But you know what? Sometimes I feel like I'm just a breathing gear stuck in a giant machine!"

"... Come on. Stop thinking about it. You'll only make it worse. Let's talk about something else. Zeus has sent their new expert. Look, it's her." Maurer pointed to the door when the expert walked in. The foreman unctuously stood next to her, livid at us as usual.

"I just hope she is not here to finish what the foreman started... Though... she's kinda...pretty." As the expert approached, I saw her face more clearly. That gorgeous face rooted me to the spot where I stood, and I could hear my heart beating. Only after a long time did I realize that was the feeling of falling in love.

"Hello, are you Fernando, the chief electrician? I'm Bonnie, the resource consultant. Nice to meet you!"

Bonnie entering my dull life changed everything. She was always optimistic and cheerful with her warming smile. All her beautiful traits reminded me of what humans had once been before the world ended. Yet, good things never last. The old faulty power generator eventually gave out, causing explosions everywhere. In the fire, the foreman ordered us to repair the machine. I prayed for Bonnie's safety, only to find her name among other missing victims. That was the moment my world collapsed.

"Fuck the apocalypse! Human lives are nothing compared to resources?!" I'd had enough of this bullshit.

"Are sure you about this, Fernando? You won't survive outside the community." The reviewer asked me with a disdainful look on his face. Before the fire, Bonnie's words still lingered in my head, "Don't ever underestimate yourself, Fernando. You are so much more than you think you are."

I spat at the doorman and shouted contemptuously, "Keep dragging your ass for this pathetic community! I'll find someplace better. I'm a genius, after all!"
