I only made 2 [Prototype] stories, hopefully this one's better.
Alex knew his existence was infinite. Nothing man made on this planet could kill him. But mankind had already killed his spirit through his creation. Alex walked down the sidewalk. His heart had no need to pump. His blood had no reason to circulate. His lungs had no reason to collect oxygen. His soul had no purpose to go on besides a sister who he pretended was his actual family. His real family was the infected.
The city's crime rate had gone up ever since the infection. And Alex would simply walk past whatever abnormalities to morality he would come in contact with. Alex looked at himself in the reflection of a puddle at the end of the sidewalk. He spat an aggressive wad of spit into the reflection. And then resumed his walk. A man who had hatred for the man who used to own the body he now owned.
Pariah didn't have much reason to have a human side. He was born without it. But what did that exactly mean? His disconnect from humanity was equal to Alex's. Alex in that he was born with the memory of humanity to then have it shattered. While Pariah was born in isolation from the world. Knowing from the start that he was different. And thus given no reason to seek out something he never felt, nor was interested in. Only to know that the monsters within mankind had just created another monster.
Having an older brother could mean many things. Losing one and not knowing it was something anyone with family would fear. What could be worse? Besides knowing the brother had been on America's most wanted list for starting the virus that killed almost everyone. And that it was true.
Each of them effected greatly. Effected by the strongest creation in existence, created by mankind. So it was the question of what was worse. Mankind, or the infection. Alex heard the sounds of firing and explosions. He can sense a highly infected individual ahead. He runs into the battlefield ahead. A battlefield once thought to house civilians, now housing infected and military personnel. A city now distorted, would the fate of it being destroyed be better than all this?
