The hyenas laughed.
Man kind stepped from cave and looked to the star with prideful defiance. They collected sticks and stones and smashed them together until swords hung from their belts and castle walls built borders between them.
They hyenas laughed.
Man kind toiled over scrolls and numbers until trade routes crisscrossed from coast to coast, business flourished, and city spread over the land, losing their boards.
The hyenas laughed.
Man built machines that built better machines and steam power turned humanity into cogs in the great clockworks of industrialization.
The hyenas laughed.
Man master the forces of electricity and the new gods, Tesla and Edison, battled on the ever approaching horizon of technology.
The hyenas laughed.
Man reveled in physics and chemistry and sent their brothers to float amongst the stars, travel to the moon, and return home as champions of what the species could accomplish.
The hyenas laughed.
Man created a network of synthetic human interaction that changed individuals into the center of their own universes, enlightenment and freedom on a scale never before seen outside of buddhist monasteries.
The hyenas laughed.
Man mastered the atomic arts and used them to such effect that they willingly poisoned the world, coating it in a thousand years of mutagenic radiation.
The walls came down. The cities became the new wilderness. The clock came to a grinding halt. Edison and Tesla were joined by the rest. The champions scraped low. Enlightenment was cast aside, replaced by the urge to survive. The arts were lost.
The hyenas ate well.
The hyenas laughed.
