The Smallest Giant (Fiction tale)

The world had changed completely. Ambition for power led to wars between different countries. They kept creating more sophisticated and advanced weapons, until they created a class of bombs that could destroy the entire population without causing great structural damage. The bombs affected the biological aspect of people and not the structures. They made people dumb, they shrank and grew in size, they lost intellectual abilities and a whole host of other things. The world had definitely changed.

After many years, around 200 years, the world could be said to be uninhabitable because of the effects of these bombs. Only a very small percentage, an elite, had survived and knew how to build this bomb, the ones who invented it. The rest of the people who managed to survive were truly miracles of evolution, able to withstand this type of biological weapon. By doing this, their body, mind and spirit evolved and developed in different ways.

This leads us to today's story, where a human being became the smallest giant in the world. He evolved precisely by being extremely intelligent, managing to have an impressive knowledge about electronic parts. Thanks to his ingenuity and his need for curiosity, product of these biological bombs altering his DNA.

This caused him to have an increased intellectual capacity in a very impressive way, making him able to build with electronic receipts a kind of bats, some drones that could communicate with him telepathically and allow him to transport him from one place to another in this world.

Our giant takes refuge at the top of a building. He was small enough to be able to hide there, being a giant who measured 4 meters in height, which made him the smallest giant in the world. The bats he really built in a short time, about 3 weeks of his time spent developing them, using circuits and old parts he found throughout the hotel and in the surroundings.

Our giant is at the top of the building and has a sad and lonely look on his face. He looks at the whole desolate city that is a ruin. There is no one, vegetation has taken over all the buildings and there is no trace of life other than some birds and other things, mainly vegetation. He needs company, someone to talk to.

Although he communicates with the bats telepathically, this is not a communication that is with a living being, it is with an entity of artificial intelligence and his interactions do not produce the emotion and satisfaction that he needs. He requires human contact, he needs to feel loved, he needs to feel wanted.

Our giant talks to himself and says: "Where are you? I need you, I have to find you".

At that moment, he realizes that his electronic bats are in an uproar, flying around something in the distance. So he immediately goes down to the building, crosses everything that separates him from the place where the bats are fluttering. What he can really see excites him. A few steps from him is a giant, a giant so similar to him, with red hair, a very attractive face and a smile that invites him to find out who it is.

Our protagonist introduces himself and says: "Hello, I am the smallest giant in the world and who are you?" The woman smiles and says: "I am the smallest giant in the world". Our friend obviously smiles and after chatting about what he was doing here, how they got here, where they were, they realized that they were one for the other.

Our friend explained that he built these types of bats that helped him detect and find food and other things around the city. In this way, he had located her. The next thing was that the bats grabbed them, making them float by their feet to each of them. And rising, they were lost on the horizon, strolling through the whole city and its surroundings. And so they managed to live the rest of their lives happily on this post-apocalyptic planet after the wars and everything that had happened.

This story shows us and gives us the moral that company can cheer up even the most lonely lives. And that friendship and love transcend any problem, any physical anomaly. It also teaches us and gives us the moral that we should never lose hope. That we should always insist and pursue our dreams to achieve, like the giant, what we want.

And this has been my story for today, I hope you enjoyed it.
