Snippet #2186447

It was a cool October afternoon, not unlike others experienced in up state New York. Tom was just lying under the trees along with with his brother and sister. They didn't do or say much, they just lay there. Lay there and admire the the nature around them.

And when reality hit, it was a freight train packed with dynamite set to explosion level 10. Everything came rushing back, the cold floor of the cage, the constant smell of blood, and the weight of this unnatural...thing coming from his tail bone. The tail ended in a sharp spade, perfect for cutting something; however, he wouldn't know. The world slowly came into focus vision-wise, but he wished it hadn't it was all dull grey wight the occassional scientist. "...Come on, get the injection in him already." He could hearsomeone say. Tom was then greeted with a needle to his wrist. A headache ensued, followed by the nausea and the joint pain. It didn't help when an Altamira sounded and everybody started sprinting around everywhere. Ugh, he thought, if this lasts any longer I'm going to kill someone. But then an idea occurred to him, this could be his chance to get out. The thought alone seemed to block out the side effects. A bunch of guards ran by, he picked one grabbed him to the bar, twisted his neck, and dragged the body into his cage. "Key,key, key, key,key...Key!" He exclaimed after searching the body. He thrust the key into the lock and BOOM he was free.

His first move was towards the nearest door, which led him into a room full of guards and more importantly, other mutants. shit he thought. He "hocked a loogie" and out came an orange glob. It landed square on the guards back. "I don't know who you are, but hold your breath and close your eyes." He kicked the guards and he lit up like a candle. His screaming hurt just as bad as the burns though, to Tom at least. He collapsed into another guard who lit up until all but the one holding the girl in the cafeteria was a flaming pile. "I would suggest putting her down, NOW." He said to the guard. He realesed the girl and ran towards the "less dangerous" mutants. "You ok?" He asked the seemingly eight year old.
