A Child's Blind Trust

WCPOV The exact moment before those large impressive eyes closed, I saw it. A look that could only be read as a complete suicidal leap of faith in those intense eyes of hers that could be simply explained as a child's blind trust. better summary inside

PROLOGUE

I never knew children trusted so blindly. I never knew that they could love so unconditionally; never questioning anything you did. Of course, I've heard of parents abusing their children, and the child still wanting to stay, but I always thought it was because the parents drilled the thought of 'How much worse it would be without them.'

I never realized how wrong I was.

Let me tell you about myself a bit before I go on. My name is Alexander Livingston call me Alex, and I am a 6'1" male, with chestnut eyes and light brown, almost-blonde hair. I am 28 years old and have been working at a science facility named the "School" working with "projects."

It should really be called the "Kennel," not the "School," because the projects are genetic mutants, mixed with various animal DNA and other living forms. Frankly, we end up with a LOT of 'things.'

When I first came here, I was put on duty to input information into the computers.

Hah. I'm a scientist, not a secretary.

I quickly grew un-amused with the work, but even then I still read the files I inputted into the computer daily. It seemed harmless enough; stamina, endurance, physical capability, hearing, sight, and measurements along with various other stuff. Sounds like a basic wildlife observer's notes.

I had no clue, oblivious to everything. Blissfully thinking that everything here was normal.

I got promoted quickly. Actually, within a few weeks, to become a caretaker and doctor to one of the experiments.

Now get this: you probably think I'm crazy saying everything they did up to now was 'normal,' right? Well, it seems I got JUST the information files. I was too 'new' to be trusted with the detailed files, or profiles. I never saw pictures of the experiments. I never was allowed to travel into the lab. I was basically confined to three areas: Researcher's Living Quarters, Monitored Input Lab, and the hallway that connected the two. Boring, no?

Okay, enough about me. I am now going to start my story from the first day I became caretaker of experiment #052791.
