The Runaway

Prologue

I stood by a capsule, surrounded by monitors. Feeling sparks of excitement, I stared in at an object that was in the capsule. The object was a child floating in a nutrient rich preserving fluid. My attention flicked back and forth from the child to the monitors then back to the child again. The child twitched every so often, causing me to stare at the monitors in fascination every time the child twitched.

"Derik! Come up here and get some dinner!" a woman yelled from upstairs

"Just a minute!" I yelled back up at her

I turned back to the child. The child flinched as we yelled back and forth at each other.

"So it reacts to our voice tones." I said picking up a clipboard and writing some notes down on it

"Derik Parks, get your butt out of the basement right now and come eat your dinner." The woman yelled, louder

"I'm comi-!" I yelled

The child started making noises in the capsule. I stopped yelling, hearing the noise come from the capsule. I turned to the capsule with wide eyes. The child had started to thrash about, jerking in frenzy. I ran to the monitors.

What's happening? How do I stop this?

I started scanning the readings on the monitors, coming from the child. I pressed a few buttons, confused. Bubbles started sputtered out of the child's mouth and nose. It let out gargled cries. It thrashed so hard that it slammed its arms against the side of the capsule causing the glass to crack a little before it shattered, flinging glass all over the place. The preserving fluid poured out of the shattered capsule along with the child. It started to cry. I stared at the child in shock.

What the hell is going on?

"Sheri, get down here!" I yelled, unsure of what to do

"What was that noise? Oh my good ness." She said as she climbed down the stairs and saw the child lying on the floor

She ran over to the child and picked it up. It stopped crying as soon as she picked it up. It opened its eyes and stared up at her. I walked to her side and stared down at the child. We both stared at the child's eyes in surprise. Its eyes were completely white. Even the pupil was hardly visible in the cloudy whiteness.

While Sheri held the child, I ran and grabbed the first aid kit that I had made specifically for giving my experiment checkups. I grabbed a small flashlight from it and shined it in the child's eyes. It closed its eyes against the light. When I removed the light the child opened its eyes. I saw some faint cloudy dark spot in the child's eye turn and stare at me.

Sheri smiled down at the child. She reached out to the child, letting it grab her finger. The child smiled up at us. My heart nearly melted in joy. I smiled back at it.

"It's normal. I mean its breathing on its own and all. It's never done that before." I said in surprise

"Of course. Now, what his name?" Sheri asked

"Subject A." I said

"What kind of a name is that?" She asked rolling her eyes at me

I looked at her hesitantly. I didn't think it was gonna survive for to much longer. I didn't want me and her to get too attached to it.

"Fine I'll name him. I'll call him….Aaron" she said staring at the child fondly.
