Magic Water

I come from a typical Hindu family whereas my girlfriend Jiya is a middle class Muslim girl. We met when we joined Chemical Sciences Institute of technology where we did PhD. in chemical science. We became friends & eventually fell in love. We got placed together in National Chemical Science Company in Research & Development department. Both of us told our families about our relationship but they didn’t agree. So we ran away and did court marriage. After two years we had twin baby girls Riyana and Priya. We were so happy, life couldn't have been better, but one day when I took the kids to hospital for usual medication, Jiya’s father and uncle came to our house and killed Jiya out of rage as she married me without their consent. I was depressed as well as obsessed to make world a better place to live. For 10 years I locked myself inside a lab and worked on a project. My daughters hated me as I was so much engaged in my work that I never gave proper time to them.

That incident shook me so much, I knew what I wanted to do. The intention was crystal clear; to bring the peace in the world by biologically modifying the production of hormone in human body. The day came and I succeeded in my project, I made a form of water which on drinking kills the production of Cortisol;a hormone in human body which is responsible for Anger & Stress, Also it increased Oxytocin level, which is also known as ‘love hormone’. I called it 'Magic water'. Without telling anyone I mixed the formula in water bodies, made it volatile and used it in the form of rain.

Within a period of 5 years 98% of water in the world was having my formula in it. The impact was astonishing; the world became free from all the hatred and social evil, words such as honor killing, rapes, racism, cultural riots disappeared. It was boon for a country like India where one can find the cultural difference & the tension due to it at every 50 meters. The phrase like ‘Love is in the air’ became a reality. The only flaw in the formula was that if a person who has consumed Magic water sees some sort of violence, then Cortisol level will rapidly increase in his body and it will create a chain reaction of stress and anger inside human body and will pass on to another person who sees it, which ultimately will lead to chaos and mass destruction.

I isolated few normal people from the world to a small village as I wanted to work further on my project to resolve the flaws in it & test its impact on them. One of my daughters Riyana was a part of the world I created and the other one Priya was living a normal life in a small isolated village, which had around 50 normal people. I was so much obsessed with my creation that I used my own daughters as an object for my experimentation but still I loved both of them. Riyana loved Priya so much, I was not sure whether it was because of my experimentation or she developed this love from childhood days towards her twin sister, who was just 2 mins younger than her.

Priya was slightly jealous of Riyana, as she was living with me in city whereas Priya’s world was only restricted to a small village. I knew about Priya's feelings but my obsession towards the project always outplayed my duties towards family. But I always used to tell her that meand her elder sister were building a new house for her in city and soon she will be moving to her new home. We used to visit her on weekends.

Yesterday me and Riyana went to village, after having lunch I slept, while the two girls went outside for playing, during which they had an argument on ‘daddy loves whom’, Jealous Priya pushed Riyana, due to a slight violent act Cortisol level increased at rapid rate in Riyana’s body, she dragged Priya and pushed her in a nearby well.

After hearing people scream I quickly went out and took out Priya from well but it was too late, she already gave up her breath. Meanwhile Riyana continued hitting other people, she became so powerful because of the biological changes in her body that even 10 people together were unable to control her. I sedated her & took both of them inside the room.

I took unconscious Riyana in my arms, hugged her & cried a lot, I was not having the solution to her problem, I took the kitchen knife and slit her throat. There I was lying alone, beside my dead daughters. Next day I mixed the formula in the village water storage tank and came to city. I was filled with immense anger to see my creations everywhere, everyone was happy except me, I wanted to kill them all. I went to my bedroom and took out the pistol from my drawer.

Now, here I am lying on the floor in a pool of blood, bit by bit loosing my consciousness, cursing myself, for the death of my daughters. The only satisfaction I have, is that after my death, The World Will be a Better Place to Live!
