The Darkest Shadows are in the Mind

All I could hear was the sound of rain on the top of a semi-truck going fast down the highway and I could feel my uncertainty rise. Before you ask I am not the one driving or in the cab in general, no I am the one in the back. I am chained to the walls of the container that is almost indestructible, yeah in my opinion that is a little overkill. You are probably wondering why they have me like that. We'll get to that in a minute first let me tell you about me or rather who I was. My name is LT Wyatt Landreth former US green beret now, I don't know I use to be human now my life became a mess all because of the Russians.

I was captured and brought to a gulag where I was there for five years I am pretty sure that my family thinks I am dead. Then in the sixth year that I was taken to a research bunker about two thousand to three thousand feet underground how would I know that you wonder when you spend time digging in a gulag you figure it out. Anyway the reason why they brought me there is because they needed a test subject for their super solider program. What they did was that they put DNA that was all mixed together from different types of reptiles like the ability to regrow limbs, hold breath for long periods of time and being able to swim fast to strength. They did all of this to me for seven years it was torturous and then one day I wake up and I look at my hand and notice my skin is literary falling off. Can you imagine? Not only that but when I stood up my entire skeleton had changed I now had a snout with teeth jutting every which way like a crocodile I have a tail now my eyes are red and my iris are now cat-like, I stand on the balls of my feet an my ankle is higher than it should I also got taller from 6ft to 8ft now. By the time anyone came to check on me my skin and hair was gone and I looked like a cross between a crocodile and a human I was tranquilized right when they came in so the next thing I knew  I was in the back of the truck chained, so that is I got in that situation.

Before I knew it we stopped I could just make out the conversation,"What's in the box that put you in such a hurry."(in Russian)

"An experiment from the research center up north I have to go to Moscow to drop it off."said the driver

"Alright then go on through."

We started moving again and now my mind started to shutdown from the fear of what is to come. Time just flew by and then all of a sudden I heard an explosion and people screaming the truck then flipped over and I was knocked unconscious, by the time I woke up it was quiet I could see light in the far end of container and after some carful manipulation I was able to get out of the chains and container,that's when I saw the mushroom cloud. At first I was afraid of it but the radioactive fallout had already hit. I notice a Geiger counter going crazy with radiation and I made my way to the nearest metro station, I was able to get in thanks to my camouflage ability. As soon as I stepped in they had a Geiger on me and there was nothing my body absorbed the radiation but there was no radiation emitting off of me Maybe all the DNA put in me made me to be able to resist radiation. What ever the reason I know I can't stay in this station so I left. That was twenty one years ago now the legend of the "Reptile man" has spread and war is coming, refugees find and hire me to protect them. That is where my journey truly begins.
