[ WP ] As you gaze into the mirror , you see a different person staring back at you .

`` Preparing to fuse the Hydrogen.'' 
 
 `` You think we should say something before we flip the switch? Like Eureka or something?'' 
 
 `` I've got that covered.'' 
 
 I turned to face the room filled with the greatest minds in the world. They looked up at me. 
 
 `` Creations of God, Creating God. Follow me to the new age.'' 
 
 With that I turned back to the console and flipped the switch. On the giant screen displaying the fusion reactor a blinding light flashed. Everything started shaking. People were knocked off balance. The room was filled with a light so bright, the pixels on the screen started burning. Soon enough the screen had gone completely black with dead pixels. We started feeling the heat of the new sun through the thick heat shields separating the reactor from the initiation room. 
 
 Minutes went by. Those minutes felt like years. Everyone was mortified. No one knew if we had succeeded or failed. After a couple of minutes the heat subsided. The rumbling stopped. 
 
 `` Launch backup cameras. Replace the screen. Come on people get moving!'' 
 
 Engineers brought in the replacement screen and fixed the TV. The cameras turned on and there it was. Sol II. We had created a mini sun. We are officially the most important scientists of the new age. A deafening cheer rose from the scientists. Everyone of them was filled with joy. We had saved humanity. 
 
 After a night of celebrating I finally retired to my dorm in the UNMS ( United Nations Moon Sector ) facilities. I went to brush my teeth with a smile on my face. At first I did n't notice. I walked out of the bathroom and into bed. Then it hit me. What did I just see? I walked back into the bathroom and looked into the mirror. It was me. But I was dead. I was a burnt corpse in the initiation room. 
 
 The corpse got up and looked at me. 
 
 `` Why?'' 
 
 I go to sleep thinking this is just a hallucination. I wake up in the initiation room. The smell of charred bodies covers the room. I get up and see a face. The face shakes its head at me. This is god. I do n't know how I know it but I do. 
 
 `` No.'' 
 
 I understand what he's referring to. Humanity must die. No new sun. No new age. 
 
 `` Why?'' 
 
 The light fades.
