Origins: Isaac

It was like any other day, woke up to an alarm too damn early for the job i could care less about. I turned off the alarm, my eyes slowly crept open. facing the other side of the bed i noticed the cold spot where my ex-girlfriend slept. It was my fault, i could never put down the handle. I got up from bed, still in the clothes i wore to work yesterday, even my shoes. my mouth was dry, and my head began to pound. when i made my way to the kitchen i tripped over empty bottles from the night before, it was all a blur. it always was after work. there were broken bottles and a tipped chair waiting for me in the kitchen, my lazy ass walked over it all. started the coffee pot and lit a cigarette. i stood by the sink, above was the cracked window where i looked out into the gloomy neighborhood i lived in. A cloudy day, as usual, but a van at the curb near my house, not so usual. it sent me a chill, but it was ignored stupidly. I walked away from the window and checked the fridge: expired yogurt, ketchup, and tortillas, multiple beers and half empty handles. how the fridge was before Joyce, and how it was after she left. the coffee finished quick, i poured a cup and glared out the window again. the dark black van stood in the same spot as before. The chills reoccurred, i shook it off, noticed the steam from the coffee warmed under my chin in a slightly calming way. i sighed shakily, then sipped. the glass shards on the ground from the broken bottles were being walked on behind me, i turned and was faced with a man in a black suit and shaded glasses holding a gun. He unhesitatingly shot me in the chest with a needle tipped bullet, before i knew it, my body went numb, my coffee fell, then so did i. My body hits the floor and everything goes black. That was the last day i lived as a normal human being.
i woke in a panic blinded by white lights, attempted to move, only to be stopped by numerous restraints that held me down on a medical bed, i felt the pain and discomfort of multiple tubes and needles inside me. the room around me was enormous and white with the smell of rubbing alcohol. through the bars of the medical bed, i could see others who were in the same position as me. the person beside me jolted up and panicked he began to scream,"where am i, what is this place? Someone get me out of here!" he looked over and saw me, "you, do you know where we are?"
"i have no clue, i was shot by a man in black in my own home, now I'm here. what was the last thing you remember?"
"I was leaving work late at night, i was in the parking garage, there was this...black van, two cars next to mine. the only vehicles left in the garage. i was unnerved by it, but my work mattered most, so i ignored it and opened my car. i heard the door open and felt a needle like jab in my shoulder, i tried to turn, but i went unconscious, now im here." his face was perplexed, but soon the man's eyes widened, he flailed and struggled to escape the restraints but it was no use. "oh my god, We are about to be guinea pigs. we NEED to get out of here. I've read about these people, they are called by the general public shadow men. They find those with special genetic makeup and watch peoples routines until they find the right time to strike, they kidnap them to preform sadistic experiments for military advancement!" if this guy was on the street and said this, i would have called him crazy. however, being shot by a man in a black suit at the crack of dawn in my own home and waking up restrained in a white room makes his claim very convincing. "what do you propose we do?" i ask, he looked around, struggled with the restraints then let out a deep sigh. "the military are many steps ahead. there would be no way of us even getting to the door of this room, let alone out of these restraints. in other words: we are fucked." we heard others beginning to wake. Their screams echoed the room. not many others were there. Soon after everyone woke up, a voice from an intercom spoke, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to one of the many experimental facilities your military has to offer. Many, well, all of you, are here against your will. it is a price some citizens must pay in order to save many other citizens. we hope you all understand. Many of you will not survive, and if you do, your DNA will be the answer to our advancements, you will be rewarded for your superior genetic makeup and a thanks to your contributions to the US military. if it is unsuccessful, then we thank you for your service. God bless." we all laid in silence, then one woman screamed, the doors opened and footsteps approached. trays full of different tools were wheeled beside each bed, alongside a two people in a hazmat suit. Everyone started to scream. The scientists designated to my bed begins filling up a syringe and prepping my skin, i struggle, but it was useless. the needle entered one of the IVs that were in my arm, as i felt the fluids go in me, so did the feeling of lava flowing though my veins. i cried in agony. my whole body felt as if it was melting. matter of fact, my veins were turning red and showing through my skin, one of them immediately filled up another syringe and injected it; Much colder. i exhale and see mist. my heart rate slows and I'm calm. i lazily looked to one of the scientists in the hazmat, who was filling up another syringe. i barely struggled, and another shot of god knows what went into me. this shot felt like glass was growing inside of me, the pain grew stronger progressively, i screamed more, and more, the pain grew more and more. i heard tears of fabric and the tray fall, more footsteps approach. my eyes pry open from being shut by the pain, My stomach and arms felt like they were being ripped apart, shards of glass started emerging, breaking through my skin. the pain was excruciating, blood followed. One person in a suit began to take my blood, others tried to hold me down but the shards were tearing their suits, cutting their hands. i suddenly had a burst of energy, the shards shot out of my skin, it freed me and pierced the scientists surrounding me, it shocked some and killed others. i jolted up, saw the door, and fled. saving no one. i ran through the facility, there were no windows. the alarm sounded, and heavy boots were on the way. my heart raced, the only possible way to survive was escaping through a vent or sewer. It was just hallways and rooms. "FREEZE" a voice yelled. "Put your hands in the air and turn around!" i slowly turned, four men in gear aimed at me, their lasers reflecting off the shards on my body. "get on the ground" i kneel down, they approach. One bashed me in the head with his gun in an attempt to knock me out. i lost it. large Shards instantly grew out of my forearms. i impale the two soldiers in front of me, holding their bodies high. blood rushed down their arms and their screams echoed the hall, one coughed and splattered blood on my face. "Holy shit" one guy yelled, i turned to them, they moved back, and they began to shoot. i held the soldiers bodies side by sides to use them as a shield. i chased them down the hallway and before they could open the door i tackle them, break through the door, landing on top of them. i impaled them through their fellow soldiers. i get up and the large shards recede. my stomach turned, I'm no killer. the bodies proved me wrong. i searched their bodies and found a key card. More footsteps were coming. hiding where ever i could i managed to slip by, i found an elevator and reached the top floor, where i was greeted with more guards. one shot me in the stomach. the pain was overwhelming for a moment. then All of a sudden the pain stopped, and i grew furious. the shards emerged through my skin. another shot was fired, more shards grew while others grew longer, covering my body. more shots were fired, but there was not much pain. i darted to them, impaled one and ripped him in half. Sliced people vertical and horizontal, i decapitated some and fatally wounded others. it was a blood bath. after the carnage, i vomited, i couldn't fathom me doing such things. the anger flowed through me and controlled my actions. i couldn't go back home. im a freak, a murderous freak. i gathered my strength, i walk down the path and open the door. outside of this place i was in a small cave, in front of me was an opening and was water rushing down. i was in an underground bunker behind a waterfall. i looked down, it was a distance, but i took the leap of faith. i hit the water, still alive and well. i make it to the shore. So This begins my journey as a new found monster.
