Inspired by another story like this titled:"Little Brother"by Desteny Star. I wanted to add and change different things, but I'm giving credit because there may be some similarities. Hope you like it. Cover Picture used by permission from *i-am-CHILD on deviantart
1957 Monday 9:00pm
Mercury Suits
Dylan was looking out of the window in his room. He was only 8 so he was always fascinated by the fact that they were underwater. He liked watching fish swim past, but didn't like that it meant he couldn't open the windows. He had buzz cut blonde hair and bright green eyes. He was one of 3 children his parents had; himself, his brother Bryan who was 10 and his sister Sarah who was 6. His father was a scientist working for Andrew Ryan, and his mom was a botanist who worked at Arcadia, but now she doesn't go to work as often as she used to.
Dylan being the middle child wasn't as spoiled as his younger sister, but he certainly had a decent amount of toys and games. His parents had moved to Rapture 3 years ago in 1954. His mom had been starting to look different over the last year. His dad says it's because she wanted to change her looks and started splicing. Her brown hair turned blonde and her green eyes turned a strange purple color. Lately however she is starting to look worse, her face is starting to sag and her left eye was half closed, she was now looking different in a bad way. Dylan never really understood what splicing was, all he knew was that kids younger than 18 weren't allowed to. His dad said that almost everyone does it, but his dad only did once to make his hair go back to black instead of gray.
Dylan's dad gave him a record diary to record things in if he wanted. All of the kids got them but he was the only one that really used it.
"Dylan Harris' Diary Day:23. So my mom is acting weirder each day, she spends less time working and more time with some doctor. Dr. Steinman I think, she says he's helping her be pretty again or something. Whatever I guess she needs it at this point, with all the, what does dad call it? Oh yeah splicing she does." He stopped recording and put the recorder on a shelf next to his bed.
Next day Tuesday 7:00 am
Dylan was going to school and he was walking with his dad who is dropping him off. They had a trip to a museum for the history of Rapture. He was excited but also worried his mom would forget to pick him up…again.
So what do you guys think? I plan on several chapters but will take advice in reviews.
