Twenty Four Hours


Chapter-1
________

I
f it were any other day Henry Rogers143 would have certainly liked it.Nothing more beautiful like a light drizzle in the morning.But all the things around him appeared fake to him,a betrayal.What else can he think when his primary basis of existence was shaken.He felt he was in a dream,a nightmare would me more appropriate for it.
Yesterday was a happy day.He was working in his lab,a nice and healthy man.Never admitted to the hospital,never taken a pill.It was just a lesion in the upper half of his right arm was the cause of trouble.Although it didn't pained,he wouldn't have cared of it if Dr.Henry Rogers sr. wasn't so particular about it.He never understood why he was so worried after seeing the legion in the first place.
Dr. Rogers looked pathetic today.He had asked Henry to come to his office.No one knew what had made him so terrible today.Always a free soul,he had never looked tense before.

Henry could remember Dr. Rogers as long as his memory veins went.Never,knew about his actual parents,Henry had always looked upon the old doctor as his father.Although Henry looked a replica,an exact look alike of Dr.Rogers obviously much younger ,he had always wondered how it could be that the doctor wasnt actually related to him,atleast he said so.But it didnt mattered since the old man had always cared about Henry.

Henry reached Dr.Rogers office at 2:05 p.m.It was late.The doctors always so punctual was waiting for Henry.Henry had seen him growing furious in the past if he was late for any appointments.But,today he was silent.He had some medical reports in his hands of some patient.
Suddenly,Henry eye's read the names on the brown envelope of the report.
"Subject:Henry Rogers143,male:22".
The doctor had conducted some tests on him three days ago after Henry had told him about the legion.May be that is why he was so worried ,Henry thought.Never seen his child sick may be doctor Rogers was takin the legion far too seriously.
Henry was soon going to know something that would sweep the floor benith him away from his eyes.
"So,my reports have come",Henry said..."Everything fine".
"Henry, i want to tell you a story today i never told you about.",the doctor said...
"But sir,what about my reports"...
"Son,...listen to me,its more important...
you will know everything today"...

The doctor was going to tell Henry the most horrifying story of his life...
