One day, I am injected with the brainwashing serum. After the standard procedure, I am approached by Dr. Drake.

"So today we are doing something different Wraith," he says.

"What do you mean?"

"There is someone I want you to meet," he says.

He tells me to follow him and we walk to a room which I have never been to. A Middle-Eastern looking woman is standing in the room. She is crying.

"This woman is a terrorist conspirator."

"You don't understand. They—"

A guard knocks her to the ground.

"Shut up! Don't speak unless I tell you to!" Dr. Drake yells at her. He turns back to me.

"Anyways she was giving the terrorists information about our facility."

He turns back to the woman.

"Now you can speak."

"They threatened to kill my family if I didn't do what they said."

"Oh brother. Wraith kill her."

I grabbed her by the throat and was about to kill her when suddenly I hear a voice in my head.

"Don't do this! She had no choice! She is innocent!" The voice says.

I feel a torrent of pain in my body. I drop the woman to the ground and put my hands to my head.

"AARGH!" I yell out.

My mind is hurting. I feel like something is pounding against my head, trying to free itself.

"What is happening to him?" Dr. Drake asks.

"I am not sure," One scientist says.

Suddenly I look at Dr. Drake with rage in my eyes. Never before have I ever felt so much rage.

"You monster! You did this to me! You turned me into a killer! You took away the only person that I loved!"

"HOW IS HE FREE??!!" Dr. Drake yells.

I run up to Dr. Drake and grab him by the throat, lifting him off the ground.

"I am going to make you pay for what you have done to me!" I yell.
