Story:
In the future where modern society was able to advance with prosperity and flourish with extensive discoveries, it was a utopia. Many were living the lives they have always dreamed of and wondered if there was ever such thing as having a limitation. As advances were made, people thought besides having advance machinery and a satisfying luxury of being able to thrive can occur. Can humans really be able to evolve to their fullest potential? An approach was made, what if humans were to inject themselves with a certain type of genetic code that made them truly “thrive”. Scientists were able to experiment with the radioactive waste from the nuclear plants and made a discovery that by using the waste they were able to mutate human DNA to become far more greater. This was a revelation that was approved by the public thus people left and right were injecting themselves with these man-made radioactive genes in order to make them super-human. People were happy with this new invention but alas these moments of gratification cannot last. People were mutating, becoming something they weren’t used and appearing as horrid creatures that not even the naked eye can stomach down. Alongside these drastic mutations, many died as these severe transformation took a toll on their body, as if they they were just a vessel for something far more alarming, losing their minds in the process. Chaos ensued as many killed one another and only a few were left, those who didn’t inject themselves and those who did.
The
Handicap (The Drunkard):
Blank
was never to type to fall into his/her temptations as a working.
He/she was responsible and lived a life caring about his/her family
in this so called utopia, until one day everything fell into pieces.
Blank got into an accident, rendering him/her handicapped for the
rest of his/her life. Blank into despair and divulged him/herself
into many pointless activities, such as drinking,smoking, and
gambling, leaving behind what he/she cared about the most. He/She
distanced him/herself away from the family, trying to fill in a void
that will never be filled. Although the discovery of the new genetic
injection was made, Blank will never be able to take it due to the
sole fact that only a completely healthy “normal” human being
will only be able to sustain its power. Blank despises the injections
and wanted to get away from society since he/she will never be able
to be “normal” again. The injections took a toll and everyone
transformed into something far more alarming than ever and many lost
their minds to the genetic mutations, many had killed one another and
falling victims to this was Blank's family. Blank vowed to pick
him/herself up and to find a cure amidst in all this chaos, despite
the tragedy that had befallen in his/her life.
The
Teen (The Runaway):
Blank
considered him/herself as a rebel. He/she didn't want to go to
school, didn't want to listen to his/her parents, and didn't want to
abide by society's rules and constructs. He/she spends most of his
time in his/her hideout,which was located in an abandoned junkyard.
He/she spends most of his/her time tinkering with random objects in a
place which he/she calls home, something he/she never once had.
His/her parents were always fighting and he/she had no close friends
at school despite his/her constant attempts in making a desperate
connection (because of the broken one he/she had at home). There were
some days Blank never came back home and stayed at the junkyard, not
knowing about the news about the genetic injections. After some
while, he/she decided to wander back home, the air around the city
being more eerie than usual. He/she has been gone for who knows how
long and after coming home finds his parents brutally murdered, Blank
was devastated. Not knowing how to channel how he/she feels Blank
runs and screams throughout his/her neighborhood and encounters
things he/she has never seen before. The “thing” attacked Blank
and luckily he/she managed to escape its grasp. Determined, Blank
wanted to know what had happened to the city and how his/her parents
died.
The
child (The Outcast)
Blank
never did fit in at school and spent most of his/her time
daydreaming. He/she was always interested in the unknown and things
came to be, a subject many of his/her peers never did understand.
When he/she tried to communicate his ideas to his parents, they just
shook their heads and pretended to understand, something Blank came
to hate very much. He/she dove into his books as a learning
experience and also as an escape since no one wanted to try to
understand him/her. He/she was branded as the school's weirdo, not
like Blank could care any less. Eventually, when the news came out
about the genetic injections, Blank's family were the one of the
first 100 to sign up. Blank disagreed with the idea, stating that
his/her instincts said something can horribly go wrong with the whole
ordeal, that it was “fishy”. After many arguments, Blank's
parents decided to get the injections without Blank and became what
they wanted to be, super-human. They did everything more efficiently
and swiftly, something Blank didn't agree with. Eventually Blank
started to notice a change in their behavior. They eventually mutated
and lost their minds, becoming monsters. Blank's mother killed
his/her father and came after Blank and in self-defense Blank killed
his/her mother.
Extra note:
The
three eventually meet up by fate and their hideout ends up being the
junkyard the runaway stayed in. Even though they didn't get along at
first and had different goals, they all had a connection never like
before. They all understood each other and had lost their families
from the injections and agreed on staying together until there is a
way to solve this destruction that had befallen.
