{{Takedown returns from a break to a dimly lit room. The silhouette of a man is seen not to far from view. He turns slowly into the light to reveal part of his grim, pale visage.}}
The fall of man is an imminent thing. An unavoidable consequence of human nature. We create, and destroy. For all of the advances man has achieved, there is an equal atrocity to follow it. Mankind split the Atom...and then dropped a Nuclear Bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Man created a device that allowed them to fly. And eight men used the descendant of that invention to crumble the World Trade Center to ash. Man came to the realization that to hunt for food effectively, distance was the best course of action, so it created a ranged weapon to hunt in safety. And that weapon evolved into one that takes the lives of millions of people year after year. It's sad actually. It's sad how inventions created to better the lives of man are turned into the tool to destroy itself. But that's human nature.
Mankind is fallible. It's weak. Delicate. Fragile. Just as easily as a life can be brought into this world, it can be taken from it. It's that simple. No man is immortal. No person is truly powerful, no matter how much influence, wealth or status one can ever attain. Death is the only true absolute of this world. Where there is a beginning, there will always be an end. I am the manifestation of that end. I will accept your sins as my own, and sin on your behalf. I am...the fall of man. And one by one, men shall fall. What man shall rise to be the 1st? What man has the courage to stand and face the fall of man? What man indeed.
*Hmmh hmmh hmmh hmmh hmmh hmmmh hmmmmmmmmmm*
