The Chaos Serum

Prologue

Perfection cannot be created in a lab. The answer to all problems cannot come from a syringe. Yet, here we are. We have people depending on that damn purple goo to change the world.

Instead of fixing the world, and making everyone the perfect version of themselves,they were doing the complete opposite. Left and right, people's imperfections were coming to life, creating mutations that unleash your inner self. Take for instance, a man who was cold hearted, could slither his way out of any situation and spewed venom with every word.. His mutation made him as everyone saw him, a snake.

A girl with a fire in her heart, passion in her soul that has a mean temper to match, became the fire. Her mutation was perfect for her. When her passion burns, you'll soon feel her heat. These mutations were not to be taken lightly. They were also not to be feared. The only thing to fear, Echtrix.

Echtrix is the lab that started this all. They wanted to create the perfect species. Men who were strong, tall, dark and handsome. Women who obeyed the men, had the perfect skinny waist with all the curves and had the prettiest face. Oh, and to cure all diseases, ailments, disorders and imperfections. It all sounded perfect on paper, until the purple goo was made and everything became horribly wrong.

A few weeks ago, people started to disappear after a trial run gone wrong on the Life cure. Word had gotten out that Tessa Murphy, the first person to be tested on, was supposedly killed by the serum causing people to begin to panic, they began to riot! That's when people started going missing. The following week, the serum was announced to be stolen! At first, we assumed we had a serial killer on the loose.. until everyone who was missing was coming back. The only thing though, they weren't coming back normal.

People were coming back changed. Some people came back looking normal, with small defects to them, others came back with scales, wings or even gills! Everyone stopped rioting, and began to turn against their newly reappeared loved ones! The people who went missing we're being mutated! They were suddenly outcasts, freaks! But not to me. I didn't understand why anyone would treat someone they once loved, any different. Yes, these mutations seemed scary but they were still our brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, even children.
