September fifth two thousand twenty two in a secluded area that has been

disturbed a faint cry for help from beneath the earth could be heard. Suddenly, the

ground smoldered, and quacked as the nano mites moved up through the soil.

Swirling around in a giant shaped DNA strain and materialized into a dark figure.

What have you done to me?

Gen Starr you have made a big mistake!

Im coming! Im coming for you!

An old man was sitting on a park bench wearing a black hat and trench coat.

Suddenly, a seven foot tall dark figure hovered over to the man that was sitting on

a park bench. The man stared at the darkness with his mouth hanging open.

Give me your hat and coat! He whispered telepathically to him.

The old man stood up, removed his hat and coat and handed them to the dark

figure.

Now walk away from me, he said.

The gray haired man turned around and walked away from him. The nano mites

moved on to the coat and hat and began to take them over making them a part of

the newly formed being.

There was a man standing just outside the entrance to Gen Starrs office building.

The man radioed the office to let them know that everything was good outside.

The sound of the wind blowing was the only thing that could be heard. The guard

Man, it looks darker than usual, he thought to himself.

He began to see something in the dark standing in the silhouette of a lamp post.

What the heck is that?

Hey! You! Over there! What are you doing out here?

The shadow broke up into a cloud of darkness and move closer to him. The man

just stood there confused from what he was seeing. The cloud broke up into what

appeared to be a swarm of bee flying around the man. He tried to smack them

away from him, but they became more aggressive. He opened his mouth to scream

and the dark force began to fill every opening that he had. He fell to the ground as

if he were dead. A few seconds past then he sat up and reached down into his

pocket and pulled out a knife.

The look on his face was full of fear as he opened the knife. He whispered under

his breath, please dont. He stuck the knife into his chest and began to saw down

ward. The mans eyes rolled around in his head as he began choking on his own

blood. He continued to saw until he reached his pelvic bone and dropped the knife

on the ground. He reached both hands into his chest and pulled himself open. The

darkness move up from out of the man chest and stepped out on to the pavement.

Please dont, he thought. What is that to me?

He broke apart and went under the door into the hall. Two men came running to

attack him he broke apart into a sand storm and began blasting them until the flesh

pealed of their bone and what was left of them dropped to the floor. He came to

the three floor were Gen Starrs office was located.
