Hello readers, here is my new story. It's set in the future and I don't mention any names and such until later in the story. If it gets too confusing review and let me know .!
Disclaimer: I do not own the two main characters nor the one minor character, but I can still make them uber OOC.
Claimer: I own the plot and ideas for such.
The year is 2307 and the world is in a depression.
The world currencies have disappeared and developed countries like the US, Europe, Asia and Russia have all collapsed and are no better than the other non-developed countries. Food supplies have been long ago disintegrated and the world has to live off of a "recycled tofu" which is an artificial tasteless substitute for dairies, grains, fruits and vegetables. Meat is still obtainable, but is highly close to being lost forever like the other food groups.
With what technology they have left, Asia is trying to come up with ways to create multiple food supplies that will keep a person healthy, full and make the food actually have taste to it. It was a start.
First, they made fruits and vegetables by growing the tofu and adding fruit and vegetable extract that they had saved up just for that occasion, and feed it to children and adults.
The experiment was a success.
The same went for dairies and grains, now they wanted to try to recreate the meats that they had lost years ago. Keyword in that sentence: TRY.
The room was dark on the side where the lab workers were watching on the other side of the one-way mirror. They were observing the two lab testers named 10842 and 10906, their real names long forgotten amongst the testing facility walls. In front of the two men were meat samples, one of an exotic panther that is highly endangered while the other was the eggs of a hawk that had long ago died out of species. The test today is to see the remanufactured meats and what they do once consumed by humans.
10842, a blonde blue eyes man with tan skin who was found on their doors with the police, he was sent there to atone for a crime, which he claimed, to have not committed. He was to stay as their test subject for the next 20 years, that is, if he lived that long.
10906, a black haired man with blackish tinted eyes and pale skin, he was a son of a wealthy family, but back in 2298, when the worlds depression hit a hard point, the family hit it with just as much force. Not having any money to feed the remainder of their family, they sold off their children, the dark haired man being one of them. Long ago forgetting his birth name or birth parents, but the pain of lose still lingered along with him.
Together they stood in a white tiled room, not knowing which side of the room the scientist were on. The whole room was white except for themselves and the table of food. Soon the speakers squeaked on:
"Subject number 10842, taste sample number 1." The voice of an unknown scientist commanded.
The blonde man reached for the red meat, not actually knowing it was an exotic animal or not, and popped it into his mouth. He chewed on the tough meat, allowing the tiniest bit of juice and saliva mix on his tongue. Then he swallowed and the speakers squeaked back on:
"Subject number 10842, deliberate on what you tasted ."
The blonde man looked up and said in a monotone voice, "tough at first but the meat was edible."
The scientist on the other side wrote down what 10842 had said and then they turned the speaker on again:
"Subject number 10906, preside to taste sample number two."
The pale man looked over to his right to the blonde man who had a monotone look to his face. The blonde looked up and nodded to the pale man, answering his unasked question. 10906 reached a pale hand out and placed the hawk egg in his mouth.
The egg was softer than the meat chunk of sample one. Many juices leaked from the egg on the man's tongue and the meat was quickly dissolved and swallowed. When he was done, the speaker came on:
"Subject number 10906, deliber-"
"It was soft and moist. It dissolved quickly, it was edible." The man interrupted the voice and told the scientist.
There was a silence when finally, the voice came back on:
"That will be all for now, you both will be escorted to your dorms."
A door appeared out of nowhere on the white tiled wall and opened as the two men walked towards it and were greeted by two guards who, once the blonde and pale man walked through the door, handcuffed the men together.
Leading them down redundant hall ways finally ending in front of a plain white door, one guard slid the card into the key pad and watched as the doors slid open. Once the doors were open, the blonde and pale man were lead into the room. Once inside, the guards exited, closing the door behind them.
The lights, that, thanks to future technology, turn on whenever human bodies are present at a certain hour, flickered on, allowing the two men to see the surroundings of there dorm room. Not like it really mattered since they knew the cell blind folded.
Within the room were two beds, one on one wall and one on the other. Then on the wall in between the two beds is a window that showed a shining, bright fall day where the sun shone at noon, people littered the streets smiling and talking.
It was all an illusion.
After many years in the depression, some scientists designed the Hollo-Window. The windows would show what the earth looked like before the o-zone had disintegrated, or before the economy had collapsed, or before almost all wildlife known to man became extinct. Yes and that is what the two men had to watch everyday as "persuasion" to do testing.
The pale man sat on his bed, closing his tired eyes. His body was unusually drained of all energy. The pale man shook hid head multiple times but his eyes continued to close until, finally, he fell into an unconscious sleep.
The blond man walked to the opposing bed and as soon as he laid down his body started to burn. He let out silent screams, heat swelling and closing his voice, his insides were boiling to the point of melting his skin right off his bones, his nerves were screaming, feeling like they were going to burst within him. Soon it traveled from his arms and legs, detonating his nerve endings on his spine, finally reaching his brain and the man blacked out.
It was a late hour as the security camera in the pale and blonde man's room moved around catching glimpses of the two. The room was dark this late, but the o-zone was so messed up that night and day were the same thing. They still had the same times just you can't tell unless you had a clock.
The room was dark with the Hollo-Window showing a crescent moon which emitted artificial light into the room only slightly. The two bodies rested soundly. Then the security camera lost its connection and the TV monitor for said camera went into a black and white static before turning off entirely.
Then, within the closed confides of the dorm room, the two men's bodies began to transform.
The pale man shifted to his side as his hair began changing into dark brown and black while his skin tone became tanner to where he looked beige. Then an immense heat covered him as he tossed and turned in the bed before resting again on his right side. Then his upper back began to bulge. His shirt began to rip and then two large lumps erupted from his back and unfurled to reveal large dark brown and black wings. The sweat cooled on his forehead as he returned to his restless sleep.
While that was happening, the blonde man's body began to boil again except not as hot. His hair turned from blonde to a shade in between blonde and light brown. His skin morphed into a dusty bronze shade, then his ears morphed into long pointed cat like ears. His cheeks formed whisker like marks, and his open mouth showed newly elongated canine teeth.
The man tossed and turned trying to find a cool spat in all the heat, finally resting on his lest side, kicking the flimsy sheets off of him and stilled for a moment. Then a bulge made itself visible in the back of his pants, finally ripping and revealing a tail that matched his hair. Then he finally cooling down, he went into a quiet sleep.
The next "morning" the two men woke up feeling very energetic and restless. Both men looked at one another and froze. The once pale man that gained wings, turned to the new cat boy and said, " What the hell happened to you?"
Ok, first chapter, tell me what you think so I can write more! Review please, Ariagatou!
