Ficlets

Welcome to the future 14

We walked through the base for some time without disturbance. Went through a few rooms, picked up a few interesting guns, and found the regular supply depot. It was while we were stocking up on things and looking at a map for the garage did we find our first mutant.

My immediate reaction wasn’t fear. It wasn’t aggression, it was confusion. I found myself whispering to Kathrine, “Who is that and why are they green?”

Well, the speech frightened it and it lunged at us.

He took me down and started biting at my face. Though she was pretty fast on her rifle, he still had had the chance to bite through my gauntlet and into my hand.

We examined the fresh corpse, put it over onto it’s back and examined it fully.

These creatures’ skin is more like animal hide than flesh. It’s tough and can probably withstand a lot of force. Their bodies glow, and their blood is highly radioactive. For anyone reading this, unless you are in a hazard suit or have medicines, stay away from West Point. Its on the map.
