Mutation

Prologue: How It All Started (Part 2)

Anonymous

Just look at all the chaos I've caused. It's unreal to think that the future of mankind was caused by me. I'm just a single man. I didn't bomb a high school for laughs and pure psychotic joy. I did it to change humans.

I'm sick of people just getting worse and worse each generation. Humans are just cruel and uncaring these days. They murder, judge people, bully, and do all these terrible things to others to cause conflict. But what would happen if we were all equal? There would be no more conflict and war. I could solve a ton of the world's problems.

I created a series of radioactive bombs to put all across the country. Mostly I targeted schools, and largely populated public places. I wanted to help the younger generation first. Me and my followers bombed over 50 schools across the United States, each explosion killing almost all of its students. I didn't mean to murder them. I had to admit to myself that my bomb was a failure. All it did was kill people, not help them.

Until I hit the last place on my list. It was East District High School, located near Buffalo, New York. The school evacuated most of their students before the bomb exploded. I was impressed that they were smart enough to cooperate with me. Anyways, I discovered on the news that two particular students from that school survived the explosion. The kids' story was broadcasted all over the news around the world. Apparently, they're alive, but they both fell in comas. I almost felt sorry for them, but then I thought of all the possibilities.

Those two teenagers are going to be the start of a new brand of human. I'll classify them as mutants, since it's likely that they will develop some type of powerful mutation. If this happens, others will look up to them, and want to be like them. Then they too will become mutants too, and inject themselves with my special formula in the form of an injection. My plan will be perfect. I will be marked down in history as one of the most intelligent human minds on the planet.

I'm glad I'm not in prison for what I did. All my followers are locked up, but I'm not. I was too smart for the authorities. Right now, I'm waiting. I'm patiently waiting for the day my precious plan will fall into place. First, my "children" have to wake up from their power-enhancing sleeps. Once they wake up, I must meet them. And I must start the revolution of the new world.

Even the sound of their names when I say them makes me tingle with excitement.

"Hazel and Leo....Hazel and Leo....Hazel and Leo..."
