    “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.”

    A man dreams of an extraordinary scientific breakthrough. He tinkers with the idea in the back of his mind while moving closer to gaining the capability to achieve it.

This essentially feels like a kind of dark fairytale. Priscilla’s brought into Elvis Presley’s in the way of the dreams of many young girls around the world.
