The Consequence of a Secret

By your own Kittens In Baskets

Authors Note: Another edition to my Resident Evil series of shorts, I hope you like it. It was written in my Algebra class from boredom. Probably not my best, but I still like it. R and R, please, and criticisms are welcomed.

He just couldn't take it anymore. All of this damned lab work was really getting to him. And to think: The ones who forced him and others to work ridiculously abnormal hours weren't even around. They came once every two months. The same people who placed him on a constant, 24-hour call with only three sick days and a single week of vacation per year. Sure, the pay was good. Amazing, in fact.

But that didn't put aside the fact that he and his colleagues were forced to work with deadly chemicals and viruses on a daily basis. The world already had soldiers, and the progress they had reached with these bio-organic weapons was an annoyance, at the very best. And Umbrella was working it's employees to the bone, just waiting to sell the "weapons" to the highest bidder.

He'd seen what the so-called "soldiers to end all wars" really were. Mindless killing machines. Literally. Their intelligence was limited to the basics. This virus, the so called "Savior" and "Bringer of Peace" caused it's infected to wreak havoc wherever they went. They weren't soldiers, they weren't ending the wars. They were lies. They simply spread the virus to other healthy beings.

And he'd seen what it really does. The public and media sugar-coated it by saying "... although it looks terrible at the moment, these specimen are only the beginning in the bringers of World Peace." Bull shit. The virus delved deep into their systems, killing them, then re-animating the dead cells. Thus bringing the dead to life. Then it finished it's course and let the new creatures roam and keep only it's basic needs. The need to feed.

And as he watched the once-human creature in front of him thrash and struggle in vain to bite him, he came upon a realization. The last one he'd ever have.

They weren't the scientists here. They were just the guinea pigs...
