The Lab Directions

(Ambiguous 1st person short story: meaning it uses we and us)

We were cursed with enhancements in a world of technology and mundanes who wanted to know everything.

We were the perfect experiment.

This was the world we lived in. Was it not? Humanity was nothing in comparison to the greed of knowledge and prestige. Who wouldn't want to be the one to reduce the enhancement's threats, as they called us, or to find cures.

How did we end up in the laboratory? The people who birthed us were now filthy rich. It's one way of saying it.

How was it in the laboratory? Fine, can't complain. There was only the constant pain from the blood that oozed out. Sometimes it was taken in tubes, you could see them take it away. Other times it decorated the walls. Also they sedated us, another experiment. The one to make us powerless. They failed each time but a side effect was that we were constantly drowsy.

This time they messed up.

Oh, what fun this was going to be.
