The Selfless Stone Many years ago, a comet was rushing towards Earth, it landed in the Pacific Ocean, this caused a wave so large it was hitting China. The wave wiped out many cities near the Pacific Ocean. The Canadian government was the first to retrieve the stone, the stone was of a new element, later named Selfless. Selfless is a brown murky stone with little yellow bumps that glowed a sickly greenish yellow. While the stone was being tested by Canadian scientists they began to get odd symptoms. Tiredness, and slow reflexes. Soon they were sleeping up to 20 hours a day. The Stone was locked away for their safety. All but one of the scientists fell into a coma. The one scientist that did not fall into a coma, her name was Maria Shine. She was tested for any signs of any known diseases, she came out clean. Slowly the scientists' that were in the comas were murdered in the hospitals. The country was at a state of anarchy wondering what was the thing that fell into the ocean. While the mobs and riots were in full volume, another country had people sneak into the lavatory and steal Selfless. This country was America. Soon Canada and America were at war. Different counties getting involved to get the stone. Soon their were little of the world left, and what remained of Selfless was nothing compared to its original size. When they stone found its way to Canada again. Maria Shine was the only scientist left qualified to test the stone. When she attempted to break a chunk off, the broken off piece turned to ash before it hit the ground. The ash exploded into a cloud in the air. What happened to the stone was obvious now. Selfless was in the air. It was 2023 then. Once Selfless was in the air, the comas the other scientists fell into soon over swept the world. Leaving people awake like Maria Shine. However each case of the coma was different, some people did not need to be given food or drink while in it. It was as if they were frozen in their time. Time may have been passing but with them not even a second had passed. The people of the world that were not in comas banded together, they began to live in groups. Forming their own societies, forming their own little countries. Some Canadian people tried to get at Selfless, some believed that if they destroyed it everyone would wake up, Yet by the time they reached the lavatories Maria had taken the remaining portion of Selfless and ran away with it. Hiding it with her wherever she went. Studying it when ever she came across a lavatory with the right equipment. Soon Maria grew old, while traveling through post-sleep Maine, She came across a yacht, the boat was filled with food and drink. Maria took the boat to the ocean taking all the laboratory equipment with her. Maria landed in many different islands taking people in and starting a boat farm. Their she had children and eventually moved to what was France. While taking a city as her own she created a laboratory for her to study in. She became queen on the city she founded. While keeping on her research, She banished anyone who tried to stop her, she even banished her own daughter at one point. Maria still lives in this new world, only she knows where Selfless is. Her daughter knew too much and after she became banished she became queen of a different city in Old England. Marring the King and having children while making her own, two heirs. However the daughter set to rule was the kings and his old wife's daughter Victoria.
