The world is a complicated place. Mine was - at least somewhat - peaceful before MY SPECIES used this alien chemical to make people CRAZY. WHY?

I knew a child once, he was part of my village, the substance found its way to him, along with all the others… 

I saw him through a broken glass window, in a room that never fit my growing body. Yet that was my only view of the outside world. The only place I felt… Safe. 

He loved the garden. 

He had the loveliest parents. 

He had the loveliest smile. 

My cold heart filled with emptiness and envy as I saw him - a stranger - and compared him to myself.  

He became terrifying…

he lost it - his sugary smile, his nature, his life. 

Seeing someone suffering like that…

There was much worse, I didn’t dear to see them all.

I was immune to the gas - being exposed to something I didn’t know enough about - 

I guess that made me lucky… 

Being an experiment- with no will of my own to get out.

I knew from all of Professor’s files and research, that the CURE to our madness was in our sister planet Vodna.

Where it all had happened…

Where Professor had mutated us.

 

Alferd and I were just two living test subjects that happened to get along well…

We had been born in an unusual lab used to experiment on human bodies as well as … other beings. For all we knew, we were orphans in an environment where freedom was less than at our fingertips and life was as harsh as holly leaves.

I… hated it there. But again I’d never been anywhere else.

I had never thought my past was Interesting,

It was nothing to be proud of.
