Episode 2

His face messed up though you can still see the dimples where he would smile at the onboarding passengers. The sky, clouds closing in upon us until there is not even a single speck of light left to view. The only noise is a splash as the bus plummets into the water. “Why the water, ”I think to myself. Suddenly an ambulance comes or what at least looks like one except in black. They come and get ready to dive into the water, though one of the men has a knife. Confused I continue to watch them in secrecy. When one of them splashes up with deep breaths. “They found him,” I think, but to my surprise, they come up with only the head. I cough back my scream, tears flood my eyes. In our small town, everyone knew each other. I then found out that Robert was on the bus driving that morning. More tears pour out unstoppable. Robert had taken care of me as a kid and treated me as his own. Now, look where that made him end up. He didn't deserve this. My friends faint from the shock of the crash had run inside to call a real ambulance and didn't see this part. “He at least deserves to get a good funeral,” I think to myself but some of my thinking comes out as mumbles. I decided to look into whos taking him and where. I scan the black ambulance to find a little logo under the license plate. GMH I read in shock. I never thought that it would still be standing. GMH stands for genetically modified humans. Something more horrible than death. They are known for their mistakes. The rumours state how GMH is a company willing to do anything for science. It is said to be a place so horrible where the only thing your given is thin clothes worn down shoes. The only thing you feel is the cold concrete floor, the only warmth from the shadows that lurk from the outside. They are monsters they turn people into things that shouldn't be living. They have the power that shouldn't have fallen into their filthy hands. The money they make is simply blood money. They kill people on the spot if they do not obey. The only thing I can't figure out is why it is still running. What is there means with us? What plans do they have with the US president? I can't hold it in anymore I try to run and warn my friends only to be stopped by no other than a GMH soldier. “Where do you think you're going,” he asks with a smirk on his face. “I'm not thinking of going anywhere, I am”I reply ignoring his smirk. “ don't talk back to me twerp” he barks out of his frown as he picks me up as though I'm nothing. “Let me go,” I say calmly. He laughs at me swings me around. “What are you gonna do about it short stack,” he says. “Let go of me,” I say once more. “Or else” I add. That just makes his grin reach from ear to ear. “Or else what,” he says. “Or else you'll be sorry” I state. His only reply is a laugh. Suddenly I feel dizzy and ill. I look around to see the world spinning around me. Why do I feel something trying to break out of me something, something that's been within me since I young? Suddenly I feel better. Better than better, I feel alive. I look at my hands sparking with electricity. I reach forward in shock. “What's happening, ”I ask. The soldier looks at me like I'm worth millions. “It's true the legends true a child will ascend from hell and kill us all”. He laughs but this time it's not like before, it's mad. I scream as I jolt from the pain running through my body. Sounds everywhere echoing around me cries, cries for help, for love, for sins. The GMH soldier drops me harshly. I scramble into the form of a ball. Clutching my ears, have I to go mad? Then it all clicks all of my memories ones from before this life. “Why I think. WHY! I don't understand in all my lives I've never been sinful. I was a good I called mercy. Why, why now give me my memories of why. My lives all painful. If I was lucky to find the love they would die. I was always born with this, this burden. Weighing on my shoulders never allowing me to get my wings. Why?” I think with my mind overflowing with all of these painful memories of everyone I once knew. It all clicks but I still won't admit it. “These aren't my memories” I scream. But no one does anything no one moves no one breaths. “I killed them, ”I say in disbelief. I run into my house to only see my family and friends in a light daze. I snap them out of it. “What happened” they all mumble simultaneously. Then a scream echoes from outside.
