Rain droplets crashed against his face. “ Why did you bring me here?” The hooded figure looked up. They gazed into each others eyes. “ I figured I would get you as close to heaven as I could. Before I sent you to hell.” They were miles in the air. On top of the tallest building of Silicon City. A beaming metropolis of tomorrow. The stranger stood up and looked out onto the city. The bustling light shone dimly against it’s face. They were so high up that the lights themselves could barely reach them through the fog below. The city was expansive and reached farther than the eye could see. Even from atop the tallest building one could not see the entire city. However, in that moment, it was just them. The thick fog that covered the city reduced their visibility to just the tower top. It seemed as if this place was all there was. Nothing beyond except a dark fog. The hooded figure turned back around with an in-human grin. Cybernetic teeth and dim green eyes. “This is where our game ends! Here below the very heavens! I will make my sins known to God Himself!” “ You are batshit insane!” “ Sanity has no place in a world without limits!” They stared each other down for a moment. They knew what was going to come next. A single shot rings out. A single case bounces in the rain covered floor. The hooded figure falls to their knees. Looking up one last time, they never let go of their grin. The figure pulls out a detonator. Several more shots are put into the figure. They do not even flinch. With a wicked grin the figure pushes the detonator. The gleaming tower of silicon city was lain to ruin.

“ I ‘killed’ it.” “ You killed this? I’ve never seen anything like this before. Where did you find it?” Said the figure. “ I was driving up Goled Bahri when this ‘thing’ flew straight in front of my car. I got a split second to look at it before it got hit. It was no bird I’ve ever seen before. I stopped by the side of the road to check the damage to my car and decided to check the creature out. At the time it was a mess. Completely destroyed.” “ This thing does not look completely destroyed. Are you trying to mess with me?” Asked the figure. “ That is what is so confusing about this thing. I’ve been studying it for the last three days. Every time I go back to study it, it is a little more ‘complete.’ I’ve seen it go from a bloody pile, to an almost living creature. This morning while I was studying it, the thing let out a raspy breath. It was shortly after that when I arranged this meeting. I was hoping to get another pair of eyes on this thing.” “ I don’t even know what I’m looking at right now. It looks vaguely like a bird, but the wings are all wrong. They almost look like giant webbed hands.” “ This creature went from being a lump of bloody meat with no signs of brian activity, to actually breathing.” At this point both of their eyes were drawn to the creature on the table. They both wondered the possibilities this creature can lead to. A creature with in ability to repair itself completely. As they were both looking down at the genetic mystery before them. The creatures eye opened wide. It let out a scream like that of a person. A raspy horrible scream. The creature flew to the ceiling and hovered like a humming bird on bat like wings. The creature flew into the hooded stranger and crashed straight into their head. The stranger fell to the ground, out cold. The creature never stopped hovering though. As it flew towards the stranger that hit it, the stranger ducked under the table. The creature flew through the window behind the stranger. Breaking it effortlessly. Flying off into the distance.
