Prologue:

I live my life in the shadows. I am a caged animal, sedated to the point where the only movement I can make is to take a simple breath. Then again I do not truly breath, for I am not truly alive. I am a copy of some that lives, that loves, that hurts. They truly breathe. I was created by a man who 'has a dream'. He walks towards me now, his face alight with glee. I can not help but to stare at my reflection, mirrored on his bald scalp. The man, my creator, my 'father' if you will, pushes a button to his far left. The steel barrage that keeps me caged retracts; I fall to the ground on to my stomach, to weak and sedated to pick myself up. The 'man' gently kicks me onto my back, in his hand is a small syringe gleaming in the harsh white light of the room.

"Hello again Project 001CK." He bends, looking intently into my blue green eyes. "I have a surprise for you."

He pulls my arm up, gently the needle pricks into my skin. Suddenly I feel…different. I don't know how to explain the feeling.

"Project 001CK it's time for the next step in our, ah, little experiment we could say."

He signals to two large men in black suits, who lift and place me back in the restraints that hold me upright.

"You have just been injected with a special chemical formula."

He turns and walks out of the room, but not before turning back to face me. "Welcome to the whole human experience Project 001CK."

As he walks out, the harsh lights dim and with now the strength of a babe, bow my head in the darkness.
