I wish they never did it. It’s 4021. 2000 years since the last pandemic. 102 since the last World War. Why the Government decided to use nuclear weapons again, I’ll never understand. But I know this; whatever chemicals they were using wasn’t safe for wildlife. It was a greenish liquid, with black specks. I remember that during and after the war, people were flocking to Mars like there was no tomorrow. Those of us that stayed on Earth, me included, have..... mutated... somehow. We’re no longer.... human. We’ve changed. The others became monsters; giant beasts with scales or night-burrowers afraid of the sun. I’m the only one in my area left with enough human genes to look normal. That could change. We’ve changed.... and so have the animals. My brother got snatched up by what used to be a snake. Our pet snake, Basil. She’s become terrifying, a beast with multiple sections to her body, she’s grown 4 extra eyes and what seems to be... mantis claws? Basil... more like Beast-il. I want her back. I want my Mom....
