One last time(book 1)✅

prologue

A mind is too powerful to waste; however, when used in evil ways that poses grave threat for humanity.

"This won't cure our son!" Esther shrills at ex her husband in extreme anguish.

He turns a blind eye to her and proceeds injecting the fluid in his dying son's veins, hoping for him to wake up healthy.

The mother pleads "That will only multiply the cancerous cells. please stop! our son doesn't deserve this!" trying her best to break free from the electric wires, that pierce through her flesh.

He finishes injecting the fluid preparing to electrocute the child. "Shut up! I won't let my son die! I sacrificed my life for science, working on this particular experiment. If it can't be used for saving my own son, then shame on me."

"You can't act against nature's law, there must be consequences!" She frantically moves in her seat only to be disappointed.

"Then so be it. After years of research I finally found the cure to death. We can bring our son back, Esther. You just have to trust me. One last time."

Esther widens her eyes, soon her face turns pale as her ex husband begins giving their son electric shock.

"Carl, you are insane!! He deserves to get rid of this torment and find peace. I beg you pleas..." She chokes on her tears unable to witness her son being electrified.

"Fine. You'll see the results soon"

He brings the cat in to view, locked up inside the vessel.

"I infected it with rabies then electrified it. Now to make the it transmissible I put the Pithovirus sibericum virus in its cell. The virus will keep replicating, no matter what, reviving the dead cells. Humans can't be infected with that virus. So first, I passed the infection to this cat. Its bites along with blood transfusion is all I need to wake him up." He estimates.

"Are you ready to take part in our son's recovery?"

He paces up to his ex wife holding an empty blood bag and small needles.

"You'll face horrible consequences for your madness.. Ah!!"

Esther moans out in pain as he inserts the needle in her vein and begins the blood transfusion process.

"Wake up, son."He tenderly patted his son's head.

Even after exchange transfusion his son doesn't move a muscle. 

"No, no, no you can't die on me!"

Out of frustration he drains his poor wife of blood.

Yet his son never woke up.

His whole world collapses upon him.

He couldn't save his dear son.

He crossed all limits of insanity to save his son. His intentions weren't evil, his endearment for his son led him in such a path.

Much to his dismay, the virus works in the opposite direction, multiplying the cells, like Esther warned, giving his son a quick yet agonizing death.

He burns the place to ground with a heavy heart, along with his dangerous delusional research he worked day and night for years.

But one thing he fails to notice.

The cat he resurrected with the zombie virus, survives the fire.
