A Dark And Hungry God Arises
“The genetic technicians had come and gone.
Shivering like an invalid, Morn Hyland sat with Amnion mutagens in her veins and waited for the organic convulsion which would bring her doomed humanity to its end.
Lit by the sulfuric glow her imprisoners preferred, the small, sterile cell around her seemed lambent with insidious yellow threats. It was a bare chamber, not a lab; empty of everything except cleanliness and light, a small san and the couchlike chair where she sat. Any monitors were so un...familiar or so well disguised that she couldn't identify them: she was apparently alone in a naked room.
Perhaps the Amnion wanted to observe her transformation without inhibiting her reactions - and without risking damage to valuable equipment. Or perhaps their facility on Billingate wasn't supplied for research; perhaps she'd been put in this cell because it was the only space available to hold her. Whatever the reason, she was free to pace the floor or sit still, as she chose.
She sat as still as her shivers and the fear storming through her permitted.MoreLess
