The Japanese Foundation of Art had built a sculpture dedicated to ' Replenish' that was also a health complex. Twenty-first century Fox had made a movie directed by Steven Spielberg that dramatized the life and origins of the magical substance and it's makers called "The Great Earth". This simple puke-green colored paste had evolved into a man-made miracle. By the second decade life itself was based on 'Replenish'. All of the major religious figures perished and were replaced with glass idols filled with the paste. All except for a few rebel cults that still preserved the old Christian, Jewish, Islamic, or Buddhist practices, were worshipping the power of man and money and gems and riches all fell short to the value of a small jar of 'Replenish'. It seemed that this miracle cure did have a side affect that no one seemed to notice. This wasn't some freak incident that caused the product to become so popular, it was extremely addicting, like heroin or cocaine or one of the many other drugs that had been so fashionable before it's existence. The world was filled to the brim with junkies.

Only about two years later a rumor began that 'Replenish' was not side effect- free. I say rumor because this controversial subject had been tested so many times in the past that school children could have explained the formula. Nevertheless, word got out. Most likely the manufacturers were the first to know. The chief executives at B.O.N.B.O.N. (being researchers remember) purposely let the information slip, and the fixated population dismissed it quickly at first, but intrigued chemists were curious to research the subject. There would be a huge amount of money for the person responsible for the fall of 'Replenish'. But still it took a few more years to interpret the information. The sequence of ingredients and the overwhelming knowledge that had been embedded into the brains of society for so long made it very hard to understand how the inner-workings of this miracle potion could be different than previously researched. The big tip off was when an anonymous person (by anonymous I mean an executive of B.O.N.B.O.N.) sent a sample of the unfinished ' Replenish' to a group of forensics that specialized in infanticide. The true realization was a horror, and it had to be proved and reproved again and again before the public would accept it. It finally made sense to the millions of baffled scientists that had tried to understand it before. It seemed that ' Replenish' was made up of two percent acetic acid and ninety-eight percent of a decomposition fluid found only in the fermenting carcasses of dead infants. The revulsion was unfathomable and whole masses of peoples died from shock, or inflicted fatal wounds/illnesses within the next two months. The others were doomed to a worser fate. The manufacturing of 'Replenish had been outlawed and any caught using it, if they hadn't already gone insane from sheer futile morality, were charged and duly punished in the worst ways. Unfortunately the effects of 'Replenish' were not so easily mended. The entire population remained hooked on the drug, and in attempts to sustain their addiction people began to kill, and eat their own children. This was silly though because as the current population got older and older, and people began to die off, there were no younger generations, and down to the last few remaining humans, they continued to eat their first, second, and third born. Until the human race had become completely extinct.
