Chapter Two: Remember

'You. Are Ecyber Vetens. You. Are a Nightgoose.'

That was all the squid said. I wasn't entirely sure if this big, amorphous looking sea creature was real or just something out of my head. But then. I remembered.

Everything.

My name is Ecyber Vetens. I used to be just like you.

NORMAL

But that... That all changed.
I was dubbed "crazy" for seeing visions. Disturbing.. Visions..
They weren't so bad really.
Just..
Well these things kept playing in my head.. Weird things..
Like, Turtle foetus's that secreted maple syrup all over their body.
Apparently, people think thats a sign of Psychosis.

Pfft. What do they know?

I was sent to a Doctor.
One who specialized in.. People like me.
His name was Dr. Bitch.

I hated him.


And it wasn't because of his Snazzy shoes.
It wasn't because of his own personal butler.
It wasn't cause he had this annoying high pitch
voice that bugged you to tears.
It wasn't even the fact that he welcomed me with,
"Hello Crazy. How are we this morning?"

It was the fact that he locked me up in his special facility to conduct horrible bio-genetic experiments on me. If anything. You could say I'm already dead.
I was injected with all sorts of stuff. Filled with all sorts of embryonic juices...
Carotene injections for example.
Black holes in a bottle was another.
That was the kind of stuff Dr. Bitch was into.

None of it ever worked of course.

Until the time when it did...

He successfully turned me into a Nightgoose. Which explains the long scaly tail and shards coming out of my elbows.

It's really only a matter of time now before it spreads...

Gee. Thanks a lot squid for helping me remember...

But it was already gone.

And Dr. Bitch was sure to follow.
