Altered Paths

Prologue

    The smell of medical supplies and mold is what greeted the doctor's nostrils. He quite enjoys the smell actually, it fills him with glee. Though a grown man he is,he nearly skipped down his own personal hall of wonders to a door with various warn and rusted locks. He tried to remind him self many times before that it would be best to replace them soon, but again and again he thought other wise and simply told himself that he will replace it on a later time. He simply believed that those locks have stayed loyal to him for long and have yet to fail him so why replace something that has yet to break or fail?

  Unlocking the several locks and latches that keeps the door to his favorite room safe, the sound of the last lock makes his heart stop but quickly pickup with high levels of excitement. Inside the 9×9 foot room laid a large  shivering lump of what could only be a human. The doctor practically glided across the floor to approach the shivering humanoid lump.

  Already fully aware that the lump is currently unable to respond weither if it wanted to or not, the doctor knew that the shaking was probably involintary. Bending down on both knees he aggressively removes the blanket and chucks it to a random place in the room.

  What's revealed to be under the blanket is what appears to be a boy, who looks to be around the ages of 16-18. The size and build of the boy makes it hard to tell but the soft child-like features that still lingers says otherwise. But this isn't what fills the doctor with such unwavering glee, it's the visual evidence that he was successful with his blessed research that had this grown smiling ear to ear. He had finally done it, he finally crossed that line that separated mortals from reaching their full potential.  He played gods and won he thought. No, that phrase didn't sit right with him. He
Became a god, and sadly the boy beneath his feet was his own sick twisted way of announcing that to the universe.
