Manav decided to extrude the chip out; but not surgically. He knew that the chip was scrupulously placed inside the medulla, so that you would find yourself dead before you have the chip in your hand. Still, Manav had the right remedy for this tumor of slavery. All he needed was a shock treatment- the right voltage to fry the chip. Only the chip but him.
And he did it!
He checked and rechecked. The chip is out. Manav is free. He craved to tell this to the whole world. He craved to save the entire Humanity; but he could not log onto his PC for it did not recognize him. Neither did the phone respond. Nor did the doors open. He tried the distress alarm. No siren blared. Nor did the red lights flash. All these needed the RFID verification. It was not long before he realised that he got trapped inside the very room where he became free. He cried out for help. He cried out till he spat blood. The cries made way to incoherent howls. Eventually, he howled out his last breath. All the noise he made got imbibed into the cacophonic ambiance of the metro.
