REMEMBER... BEWARE... OF... THE...

I’m not exactly sure where to start, considering I don’t have much time left before they get me.

             I know. How about the beginning?

             A long time ago (And God forbid I remember when), a group of researchers, scientist, and all that jazz were working together to create a whole new species, I myself was included in this project. These new species were intended to help the world by basically being workers and maybe much more if things hadn’t gone out of hand.

It took years of failed mutations and projects to get these new species made.

But, by some miracle, we were able to get one made.

It was one day I was walking down the hallway with one of my co-workers, when we heard screams of joy and people celebrating, we quickly headed towards the lab where the noise was coming from and saw all the workers crowding around this table, I managed to push my way through and saw what they were looking at.

It was a small creature no bigger then 3 centimeters; it had 2 hands, 2 feet, and an odd shaped head. It looked around the room then, with a bit of a struggle, stood up on its two feet with almost perfect posture and all the workers gasped. During the time I thought it was disappointing, the creature was so small and looked frail that I didn’t think it could do any good to anything. And boy was I wrong.

The success of this creature inspired everyone to work harder then ever. We had made more and more of this creature we decided we would make different kinds of these creatures (Like spiders).

After more years of failed mutations and projects we figured out how to advance the creatures. We took the large army of the creatures we had made so far and separated them into two groups and decided we would do elements first. One group would be resistant to fire, like reptiles; the other group would be able to swim in water, like fish.

Simple enough.

We injected the genes of animals and all that other science stuff I don’t have time to explain the details, but it worked. We had the fire ones stay under extreme heat and they weren’t burned, we had the water ones enclosed in water for long periods of time and they didn’t drown. Everyone was so happy; we had created a whole new species with incredible abilities!

Later over the years (As you can tell, this took over many years) we made two more successful ones. One that was resistant to poison and one that could fly. Eventually we had to figure out how to get the creatures to reproduce on their own, if we ever wanted these things to be out on their own, we would have to find out how to get them to do it on their own.

We tried the usual mating mumbo jumbo, but that didn’t seem to work. It was then we created these nests for them that would create more of the creatures if the nest was brought the proper materials needed to make the creatures, again, I can’t go into much detail due to my lack of time and blood.

So because the creatures could now reproduce on their own, we could risk losing some with failed experiments.

One day we figured we should make one that could create electricity. With that type of ability, it could do a lot in this world overrun with technology. It got everyone so excited, these creatures could do so much for society.

It was until someone suggested creating strong fighting ones (And let me remind you all these creatures are still 3 centimeters tall). Now, no one thought about bad consequences at the time, we were all so happy and excited with creating all these new creatures we thought “Hey! Why not? Were already working on the electric ones, lets do another!” and started on it.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">Unfortunately we could only manage for the electric ones to be shock resistant and conduct electricity, they couldn’t produce their own, but it was still a pretty big step. We were going to use the creatures for our own use, our own advantage.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">And I think the creatures knew this.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">Later in the week I was in the lab working on another project for the creatures, when I heard a loud scream coming from a lab down the hall. I quickly sprinted to see what was going on and what I saw left me stunned.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">A woman scientist was on the floor screaming and shaking, for a whole army of the fire creatures were attacking her. Every time she shook some off, more would come and jump right back on her and attack harder. I stood there with my jaw dropped to the floor, and she let out one last scream and fell silent. A few other workers had just run in and saw the horrifying sight. The creatures suddenly picked her up and started to carry her off like ants, a worker ran over and started to kick and stomp on them but sure enough they started to attack him too.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">   I got the hell out of there and saw someone banging on a door to another lab, I saw through the glass that someone was banging on the door screaming trying to get it open, the whole room looked like it had been filled with gas, out of fear that opening the door would lead to spreading the poison I stepped back and the poison creatures were upon the man and he fell, but not before cursing and screaming at me.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">Luckily a small group of the workers and me managed to get out before the creatures could get us.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">I was so ignorant to think they were incompetent. They were killers.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">And over time. They began to spread.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in">They had invaded cities to states to countries. How stupid for us to make creatures that could fly and swim and go on land in such large armies and its only instinct was to kill. It seemed easy, recalling their small height, to take them out, but like ants, one may be very weak, but a whole army together can do so much damage.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in">It then occurred to everyone, that like ants, they could be eaten by large animals. Of course most of the animals were not made to eat these odd new creatures. So what did we decide to do? Mutate the animals.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in">We took frogs, birds, fish, and even ant eaters and mutated them to eat the creatures. Seemed like such a stupid idea, mutating got us into this mess, how was it going to get us out?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in">But, it did work. For a while. A large portion of the creatures would get eaten but the creatures would all form into large armies and attack all at once.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in">And wouldn’t you know it, the mutated animals started to spread too.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in">All of this was out of our hands; so many people were getting killed from the creatures that we had made, that I had helped with! Some people were pecked and smacked to death, some were poisoned, and some were even crushed to death.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in">Then the bodies would be carried off by the creatures, it was so cruel and disturbing.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in">Over time, the creatures were successful in their massacre. Everyone was dead. Their may be some survivors left, but I have yet to find out. I managed to dodge those creatures over the last few months. But they managed to find me and started to attack, I tried to get far but my injuries were too severe to go any farther, I decided to hide out in this cave and waited for death. It’s funny though, ever since the creatures killed everyone, earth has looked greater then ever, greenery started to flourish and all the cars and gas was gone, and the sky was bluer then usual.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in">But there is something about the creatures I should note: They don’t follow leaders, but only follow those who are relatively the same height (The creatures are extremely threatened by things bigger then them) and only follow those who help them in killing. That’s at least what I believe from studying them.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in">I can hear them coming now. And I await death.

<p class="MsoNormal">                        They’re here. Oh god. Oh god!
