Chapter 1

Human

Birth.

Childhood.

Adolescence.

The growing fetus in the tube did not enjoy or indulge in these innocent years of childhood. No. He spent them all minutes each in a green liquid encased in a large tub.

Mr. Manning caught Jordan looking at Craig's penis.

"What are you staring at, m'boy?"

"I'm sorry, sir." Said Jordan. "It's just that he's so sexy!" He gave a titter.

"Well, if little kids are your fancy, then make a website about them!" Mr. Manning snapped. "This here is my ultimate creation! For I...am...GOD!" He laughed maniacally.

A hand reached out from the tub of chemicals. Green goo dripped from its fingers.

"It awakes!" Said Mr. Manning. "Hello, my darling son! EMBRACE YOUR FATHER!"

Craig looked at him. His Hobbitish hair was matted to his skull. His eyes stared blankly.

"Look at him!" Grinned Mr. Manning. "The artificial organism knows his daddy!"

"Hu....man..." Craig droned. "I'm...human."

"No you're not!" Snarled Mr. Manning. "You're a modern science miracle! You're the creation of a god! But you're not 'human'!"

"Yes...yes...I AM!" Craig screamed in his high Gollum-like voice. He splashed the liquid in his father's eyes.

"MY EYES!" Screamed his father. He collapsed to the floor, sobbing. He would need glasses.

"Hu...man. Human." Craig repeated.

"Get him, Jordan, you pervert!"

"Yessir boss. Yessir." Jordan said looking at Craig's bare ass.

"Human!" Craig screamed. He kicked Jordan. He tripped and fell on the goo.

He ran out of the room and saw three naked creatures in large vials. A tube ran through their mouths. One had a spandex mask on him; the other was skinny and had large eyes. The other, with some modifications, was himself, but a lot shorter and more handsome.

"HUMAN!!!!!!!!" Craig screamed and knocked over the tables. They shattered. Baby baboons with no genitalia and other horrific hybrids emerged from the slime and slogged over him and out the door. Craig paid no heed. He knew what he was. He was a clone.

He ran outside and hid in a Dumpster. He silently sobbed, and cradled his head in his hands. "Human." He sobbed. Then again, this time with more emphasis. "Human."

Human.
