Like most people, I detested the noise of the alarm clock.
The moment the bell rang, I hurled the alarm clock from my head to the ground. “That old bastard, with the shrill ringing again!!” The alarm clock bounced and rolled on the floor.
I lingered in bed for a while, then got up barefoot, resigned to my dad’s experiment for the material water supplement nutrition. As I reached for the kettle, my foot suddenly felt something cold.
It was a mirror. “Well… I haven’t really looked at myself for a long time.”
I open it, and a face stared back at me: dark and gloomy, with pale and red eyeballs.
“To be honest, you really have nothing feminine about you except your breasts,” Alex said about me.
I sneered; the reflection of the woman in the mirror became hideous. ‘Just a little lunatic born of a lunatic, so maybe he was right…’ I rubbed my breasts and posed for a moment in front of the mirror. I savored my own image.
The computer suddenly came to life, delivering a voice message: “Hey, my lovely girl Cara, how have you been? This is your dad speaking. Our research has been going well lately, your mom really misses you. So we talked for a while and decided to invite you to visit us and see our research. Also happy birthday, our baby girl:) Did you receive our gift? We hope you like it!”
As I listened to this message, I was reminded of a package that had arrived a few days ago. According to this, it must have been the gift that my dad had mentioned. This was unusual because even if they were busy with work, they would always come back to celebrate my birthday with me. I tried to suppress the sadness in my heart and walked to the corner of the door. I found the package and opened it: a Sony DV with a blue case, a map, and a ticket.
I was still puzzled by why my dad had given me this. He was a biologist, and he had never done this before. Usually, his previous gifts to me were various biological specimens that he had collected from around the world. Of course, with a little card like this:
Dear Cara,
This is the world’s largest butterfly, whose female wings can span up to 280 mm. They flutter in the air like pixies dancing in the sky. Do they resemble the ones that triggered the butterfly effect in the A****n rainforest? (Haha…just kidding, they only dwell in New Guinea:p) ……
So I was quite astonished by this seemingly ordinary gift. I pressed the DV boot button and expected to watch my dad’s new “Amazing species” videos. But the DV storage file was blank.
“What the hell does he want?” I wondered as I put down the DV; then I picked up the ticket on the table. The ticket was dated 07:00 am on September 1st.
“Excuse me? Tomorrow at 7 am !!What an amazing gift!” I was annoyed by this disrespectful schedule. I had to hurry to pack; when I turned around to start. On the bottom right of the computer, I saw something:
04:11

“HOLY CRAP…”
Thank you for reading my new book "The Creature', I hope you will enjoy this story :)
From here to the airport where the ticket, the fastest will take more than 2 hours, which does not include the red lights and traffic jams encountered on the road… After a quick scrubbing, I put on my clothes, packed my passport, wallet, and two changes of clothes into my backpack rushed out of the house.The lack of sleep began to give me a headache. Unfortanelly, my stomach is also in pain from not eating for too long. It's a terrible feeling., I began to wish the plane is not a budget airline. They have breakfast service. I am pressed for the time on the way; finally got to the airport before 7 o'clock.I swear, it was the most luxurious flight I've ever been on in my whole life. When I received the ticket, I was still wondering why there was no seat number on the ticket until I saw this. I realized that my parents worked for a very rich company. They even send private jets to pick up the employees' relatives.And me? I was pulled out of the airport crowd by a beautiful flight atte
I felt my body tremble with the white mist that had come out of the door.'Click'.The tall man with the gun pulled the safety of the gun in his hand. I didn't look closely, but I realized that the guns they were holding weren't ordinary at all. I knew nothing about guns, but they carry much bigger weapons than I've ever seen on TV before. The greater the volume, the greater the damage. I dare not dwell on it.Inside the door was another corridor, glass on either side of my arm. A few men dressed as Alice, one of whom pressed a red button on the wall As soon as he/she pressed the button, I was sprayed with an indescribable odor. The low temperature caused by the gas sent a shiver down my spine.“Relax, Sweetie, it's just a sanitizer,” Alice held me firmly in her arms and dragged me across the door on the other side of the hall, “You will see him later, so please relax, because your irritability may also affect him and cause us unnecessary trouble.”The next closed door was followed by
I was terrified. When I was a kid to see a shark in the Atlantic, or a wildebeest migrating into a lion's territory. None of this frightened me, but now I was curled up in the corner of the stern, trembling uncontrollably. Not just me. Elise's upset, too. She gripped the handle of the gun tightly. If anything goes wrong, she'll pull the trigger and sweep the water.He seemed to go back into the deep water, where large bubbles began to small bubbles on the side of the boat."Oh, there he is," said Alice with a smile and pulled the trigger, "Be quiet, baby."As soon as her voice fell, the lake immediately a large number of sprays. It's like an animal struggling in the water. Then the creature slowly floated up.Alice smiles more happily. She reached out and grabbed the creature from the water, pulling it out. When she saw the creature she had caught, her face suddenly changed. Its long body is covered with livid scales and its mouth is full of sharp teeth, which means the creature is a
“If it's just the human eye that needs light to look too closely, it's the most sophisticated organ in nature. Why isn't it perfect in terms of function?”I found my eyes as if she was strangling the general, can not help but move to his eyes.“Why not combine the wide-angle view of an eagle with the night vision of a cat?”I couldn't look at his eyes without a device to figure out the density of cones and the two concave centers in his eyes, or the shape of the lens without cutting it open. But during my trance, the pupil changes from a circle to a cone, which is the window through which the light enters, the intensity of the light.“Wouldn't it be a shame to lose the sea if it were only perfect on land?” Bewitched by the sound, I reached out and pressed on his eyelids. There is not only a thin layer of eyelids, but eyelids also wrapped under a layer of smooth thin, then the thin piece was gently pulled down by me.I can't help but gasp for this creation of the Creator. It's like whe
A child who hasn't grown up at all. This is the only word I can use to describe this creature."It's been about three months since it was created, and in terms of human adulthood, maybe it is a child... ... existing research, we can't measure its age by human standards, but something is certain.""What?""It has the intelligence of an eight-year-old human.""It's unlikely. He is not behaving like an eight-year-old boy.""You know, dolphins can also target a shark's weakness, and it has the intelligence of a five-year-old child, not to mention what the genes say," said Miss Claire, who drew my blood. Also, she told me she would get someone to draw my blood, but she ended up doing it herself.“There aren't enough people on here because the research that was stalled has been brought up to speed,” she turned her head and tore open the bag containing the syringe, "Who wants to come early in the morning and draw your blood, and then take that Monster's blood..."Claire rolled her eyes, a fa
Its intelligence is no less than 8 years old human.This knowledge makes me shudder, "Let me out!""What?" Alice's voice sounded surprised."It knows the blind spot of the camera. How can an eight-year-old child know how to flirt?" I still have the body that was just licked and gnawed by its electric shock, waves of shivering."Heh," she said through the intercom with a muffled laugh. "You're so jumpy, it doesn't mean anything.""How can it not say anything?" The thought of its profound smile sent a shiver down my spine.Here again, here again! I watched it burrow down again, it is humped back like the back of a feeding cat. The golden eyes were glued to my bare arms. It lazily stuck out its scarlet tongue and licked it. Then it lifted its head and opened its mouth. It's like saying to me, I am eating…"It's going to eat me!! !" I screamed and couldn't hold it any longer.I thought this might be the best I could do in my life, and it stumbled, fell back, and hit its head on the ground
Alice was taken aback by the turn of events.Fortunately, its later movements were noticeably slower, and the force of the impact smaller and smaller. He sat down slowly, maintaining his stoop to gather strength. But his head was raised and locked firmly in my sight.I looked at the pair of golden eyes, from bright slowly become dark, little by little. As if he were questioning me. Why did I cheat it?I felt my eye sockets turn sour, "Does it have to be this rough?" I couldn't hold back any longer and grabbed Alice's arm."Sweetie, you have to remember that no matter how similar it looks to humans, it's still a beast. When you were in the wild, would you approach the lion with a needle without any preparation?" She tapped me on the shoulder.I certainly understand these principles, and can not be unprepared to approach the beast, this is the basic principle of biologists to study the beast.‘Bam!’ The glass door shook violently w
The research had finally begun after I had let go of the last of my worries.Alice also seemed to notice a change in my thinking. She no longer limited my time with it and even provided me with a lot of equipment."Perfect, just perfect." From the blood drawn, the genes of the different species fit together perfectly, and gene expression happens to pick out the best bits.“How do your guys do it? You make it just happen to be the best part, and you end up looking so much like a human...” I was incoherent with excitement.“Yes, Yes, my girl,” said Alice, holding my shoulder, “You're so excited,” she said, pushing me toward the screen.He lies on the bank, slapping the water with his paws."We use a lot of animal genes, fish, birds, apes...""There won't be any more humans?" I turned my head."No, no, no!" She said, turning my head to face the screen. "It was just an egg."It was true, a
I dreamed it again.The whole world is black, only the body up and down the feeling tells me that I am now in the 'escape' .To be precise, it is to be carried 'on the run' .It was a terrible escape.The sticky liquid soon soaked half of my body, although it eased the pain from the friction of his scales and me, but no one would want to be held so uncomfortably and bumped.Plus the very uncomfortable hug posture.I was shaken so dizzy. Babies don’t hide their emotions at all, and I expressed my feelings very straightforwardly at that time. With a cry, the corridor that was only echoing with the sound of footsteps on the ground was followed by a high-pitched baby cry.“Ooh!” The monster holding me cried out, and the cold claws came up like this, patting my back up and down.That way of comforting was really bad. The claws were cold, how could a small baby bear it?Unexpectedly, the crying stopped. I could clearly feel that feeling, just like being patted on the back by my mother, in t
“Cara~” He called out to me again and came over slowly. This position is so shameful that the lower half of my body is completely exposed, legs spread out in front of him. "Don't come any closer!" I struggled for a moment, then was pulled back by the restraints on my wrists. My legs were wide open, and his gaze felt like sharp needles piercing my body, giving me the feeling of being a naked mouse waiting for mating, making me extremely uncomfortable. "Don't! Don't look at me!" I closed my eyes, avoiding his gaze, tears streaming out uncontrollably. “Cara···” I was disgusted by the sudden smell of blood in my nose. Blech! “Cara!” I had just opened my eyes when a deep green claw covered in blood appeared in front of me. Then Mason quickly withdrew his claw, wiping it on his body twice, and finally sniffing it under his nose. Then he blinked, half-clasping his claw, and gently wiped the tears from my face with his curved knuckles. I suddenly remembered some of the romance movie
“Heart rate dropping… Hurry!!!” The beeping of the machine was incessant in my ears, followed by a crackle and a surge of electricity that jolted my whole body. I bounced up and down uncontrollably on the bed. “Heart rate rising… Good… Very good…” My body felt like a battery that had been recharged after the shock. I regained some vitality. I opened my eyes. I could sense many people crowding around me, their voices reaching me in fragments, but muffled by an invisible barrier. There was a glass panel in front of me. No, I was trapped in a transparent glass chamber. What are you doing? I opened my mouth. “Yiya… Yiya…”No, that wasn’t my voice. “Oh, my Kara…”The glass lid was lifted, revealing two familiar faces. Dad, Mom… I felt a lump in my throat when I saw them. I remembered this scene. Dad had told me that when I was born, I had a brief cardiac arrest. Luckily, they managed to snatch me back from the jaws of death. My father was a tough-minded biologist, but he couldn’
I jolted awake and sat up on the bed. The room was pitch-black, except for the faint blue glow of the screen on the wall near the door. I touched my pajamas, which were intact and snug on my body. The air was clean and odorless. Everything that had happened seemed like a dream. I got up from the bed, feeling no discomfort in my body. Instead, I felt refreshed and relaxed, as if I had a good rest. I was also dry and spotless. Maybe it was just a dream. ‘I am an asshole…’ I covered my face with my hands. How could I have such a dream? Did I secretly wish for something like that to happen? “Cara, are you awake?” The pager in the coat hanging on the rack rang. I walked to the rack and took out the caller. “I just woke up. What’s going on?” Claire’s voice came with a smile. “We did it. We created a new, less toxic individual. Wiles is saved… I mean, I want to invite you to see the new synthetic creature. Your father is on his way back…” “Mason… what will happen to him?” I clenche
“Cara~” He called out to me again and came over slowly.This position is so shameful that the lower half of my body is completely exposed, legs spread out in front of him."Don't come any closer!" I struggled for a moment, then was pulled back by the restraints on my wrists. My legs were wide open, and his gaze felt like sharp needles piercing my body, giving me the feeling of being a naked mouse waiting for mating, making me extremely uncomfortable."Don't! Don't look at me!" I closed my eyes, avoiding his gaze, tears streaming out uncontrollably.“Cara···”I was disgusted by the sudden smell of blood in my nose.Blech!“Cara!”I had just opened my eyes when a deep green claw covered in blood appeared in front of me.Then Mason quickly withdrew his claw, wiping it on his body twice, and finally sniffing it under his nose.Then he blinked, half-clasping his claw, and gently wiped the tears from my face with his curved knuckles.I suddenly remembered some of the romance movies I had pl
The blanket was nowhere to be found. I must have kicked it away in my restless sleep. Darkness enveloped me like a shroud. I felt the dampness of my pajamas, drenched in sweat. I was awake now, and my throat was parched and raw. I staggered out of bed. My head was throbbing and I nearly collapsed to the floor. “Am I have a fever?” I wondered. I touched my forehead, which felt slightly warmer than my palm. Actually, my whole body was burning up. Sweat had wetted my bangs and they stuck to my forehead. It was only after I gulped down a glass of ice water that I felt a bit less hot. Did I leave the door open? The door of my room was somehow open, and the emergency light outside the corridor was not on either. Looking out from inside, it was creepy and ominous. I hesitated for a moment, then walked to the door. The blue screen on the wall that controlled the door switch was also dark. Was there a power outag
“That’s just your normal physiological response…” Claire smiled awkwardly, looking a bit embarrassed. She tossed the thing in her hand into the garbage bin. I took a deep breath, shaking my still woozy head. I couldn’t hold it any longer and plopped down on the floor, soaking the ground with a large puddle." "Physiological response?" I laughed mockingly and hid my face in my knees. “Can you still stand up?” Claire asked, supporting my arm and half-pulling me off the ground. I had been holding back some of my body’s reactions when I was hurrying to bring the centrifuge tube to Alice. Now that my nerves relaxed… “I feel as soft as cotton, soaked cotton.” I moved my fingers, following the tug of my nerves. They barely lifted a bit, then fell down, lying limp on one side. “It feels like I’ve been anesthetized…” And it was the kind of ‘anesthesia’ that sent electric shocks through my body, leaving only a tingling pleasure. "Are you okay? You're very not yourself now!" Claire hugged
Alice’s malice was fully revealed, and what she wanted was far from simple.But Alice was also unusually agreeable when her demands were met, and she would satisfy me as long as I didn’t ask for too much.“It’s like a final kindness before the death sentence, right? She has been separating us deliberately or unintentionally ever since you began to tell me some secrets.” I said. I lifted my arms and let Claire help me put on my jacket.“Is there anything else you want to say to me?”Claire’s fingers stiffened as they moved around my collar. She lowered her head and chose silence.I was annoyed by her mute silence. “Alice only gave me a tube of anesthetic. You know, Mason wouldn’t faint even in an environment full of anesthetic gas. What effect could a small tube of anesthetic have?”Claire paused for a moment, then resumed her numb expression as she pressed my waist and pulled down my shorts.“Claire, I won’t run away. I have no other choice.”That sentence was like a spell, a spell th
I was petrified by the scene before me, which was like something out of a horror movie. The intercom slipped from my hand and fell into the water.He seemed oblivious to it all, sighing contentedly as he turned and swam towards me. Then I felt a cold object press against my palm and rub up and down.My face turned red with embarrassment.I kicked him away from me, scrambled out of the water, and ran out of the artificial habitat.He didn’t try to stop me, and I made it to the lab without any trouble. I slammed the door behind me, and it made a dull thud.“Are you okay?” Claire looked at me.“Didn’t you see?” I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down. The image was still vivid in my mind.“It came out… his secondary sexual organ.” I moved my lips, trying to recall the words I had learned, wracking my brain to describe that thing. But I gave up.“What?!” “That’s wonderful!” Claire and Alice had two completely different reactions.Claire was pale as a ghost, disbelief was written all
