Super Seed
by Ervin Anderson
U there Samantha?
Im still shaking omg omg wow
R u ok?
Shaking from what u did to me silly boy
THAT was so wonderful my love!!! ;D
I thought you might be mad we went that far.
I wanted to i wanted u I NEEDED U
Its the first happy moment ive had since dad was murdered
I needed to touch u before it was too late.
What r u talking about?
Nothing…just being my usual dramatic self. ☺
U scared me for a sec
Why are u such a mystery man?
Sometimes i feel like i dont know u at all
You’ll find out all about me soon enough.
Any word on finding your dad’s killer?
No leads nothing
Detectives have been here almost nonstop for days
I can help u solve his murder.
Oh yeah like u know more than police
There must be clues in your house. He was murdered in his own study.
Like two eighteen year old kids r gonna solve a murder…yah right!
Hey Nancy Drew was younger than us solving murders.
She’s fictional
What about Emily Cleary? She solved all those murders in Texas and got famous and was only fourteen.
Who???
Never mind that hasn’t happened yet.
Jeez u r a weirdo
Forget me being weird. I can help u find your dad’s killer.
Ok im game
If the coast is clear go to your dad’s study.
All clear im in
Let’s think about this. Your dad was brilliant.
A biologist genius inventor innovator
He claimed he’d find a way to feed the entire planet.
oh god im crying again thnx a lot
This is important. A man like him probably had his eye on something big.
Maybe someone didn’t want his next invention to happen.
Yes! Maybe some creep at another company was totally jelly!
Its gotta b Geoff Yates!!!
Dad said Yates tried to steal his ideas
Possibly. Did your dad have any secret hiding places in the study?
I don’t think…wait!
He did! When i was ten dad played a trick on me and said he forgot my birthday
Then he took my pic off the wall and behind it was a safe with my gift in it
Check inside the safe.
Combination lock. Ill try his bday
No luck
Try your birthday.
Bingo! Were in!
All thats in here r some papers a business thingy called super seed
Read what it says.
Reading now
Hey Sam, ever wonder why I have such a weird name?
Dom is not a weird name
My full name. Dominion.
Just figured your parents were hippies
My parents were not hippies. They were scientists.
ARE scientists.
wait what?
I thought your parents died in a car accident when u were little
Long story. What’s the document say?
U r acting really sketch right now FYI
Gimme few mins to read
WTF this is nuts!!!
Dad wrote that he'd unlocked the key to a super seed
A seed that can grow anywhere even in the desert and needed virtually no water or sun or anything
That no matter where people lived they could have food
Says here that this would end hunger as we know it
The science is here, the genetic formula everything
Everything someone would need to create this super seed
He wrote that the government wants this…that EVERYONE wants this
Only two copies exist
This is dated just last month
OMG this is why he was killed!
For sure.
This Super Seed sounds like it would change everything.
What should we do?
I need to see those papers. Can u hide it somewhere outside where i can find it?
Is that a good idea? I could give it to the police
Your dad probably had precautions in place in the event of his death.
I don’t think he’d want his billion dollar invention in the hands of police.
No…better to give it to me.
I can study the report for more clues.
Ok ill put dads papers in the tree house
Im gonna grab them now. Ill text u when i get back.
Got em! Thanks for your help.
Umm…I love u Dom but im starting to get a weird feeling about u
Tell me the truth about your parents and u
I'll tell you everything
now that it's done.
what are you talking about Dom?
I've burned your dad’s papers. His Super Seed will never happen.
WTF!!!
I honestly do love u Sammy.
This past month has been wonderful.
But when we first met, it was all planned.
It wasn’t an accident that i bumped into you.
I needed to befriend you so i could gain access to your home.
It was you.
You killed my father.
I did.
But i had a good reason.
I will effing kill u whoever u r i swear!!!
My name really is Dominion.
It’s quite a popular name where i come from.
Where DO u come from?
2090
Wheres that?
Not where. When. The year 2090. The future.
Ur a crazy person and i let u into my home…its all my fault
Im gonna vomit
Don’t blame yourself. U couldn’t have known.
Why???
Because your father’s good intentions went horribly wrong.
Your father sold the rights to the Super Seed in the year 2016.
And it worked. Crops grew in the most remote places in the world. Anywhere with dirt.
World hunger was eliminated.
No one knew if there’d be any long term effects to eating the food from this Super Seed.
When it began people didn’t even realize for a while.
The population started to fall.
Women were having less and less children.
Then women stopped getting pregnant.
ALL women.
Their eggs were no longer viable.
I was one of the last humans born.
The last baby was born in 2073.
Seventeen years and not a single successful pregnancy.
The human race was doomed.
All because of a side effect from the Super Seed.
This cant b true
It is.
Scientists spent years trying to reverse the effects of the Super Speed to no avail.
Then science found an alternate solution.
Time travel.
My parents were part of the team that made it possible.
I volunteered.
U hate me right? I understand.
Im just processing
If u r from the future tell me who im gonna marry
I studied your family history. You marry someone named Tommy Hinton.
Tommy Hinton is a boy i know from summer camp who ive never mentioned
He’s your future.
Im freaking out
Just know that I love u and will always think fondly of u.
It’s time for me to go.
Dom?
Yes.
Take me with u.
PLEASE
I wish I could.
My mission is over.
Goodbye Samantha.
