I arrive at the facility ready for another boring strange day of testing out containment for the anomalies we keep contained to save the world from ultimate destruction.Horrifying things lay deep within our lab things that defy reality as a whole and some bend reality to .I think of a world without us to contain them the whole population wiped clean from the planet in minutes I shudder thinking of that grim scenario unfolding.My boss approaches me from the hallway I smile thinking i can finally get that promotion and retire soon but i frown as he states ¡°You excited about today? We have that big meeting with the council and I chose you to represent head of the Science and neutralisation department its at 14:30 so you better get ready¡± I think about telling him I cant but I see the gleam of excitement in his eyes so i calmly reply¡±Yes sir i¡¯ll head to my office and start work on my presentation now¡± Sadly I trudge to my office and begin to work away trying to come up with a way to wow my superiors Reading on this site?

Chapter 2 Lunch Break I check my watch and smile as it is my mandatory lunch break so I sprinted to the cafeteria hungry for knowledge and tuna salad (his friend had suggested it to him and he found it surprisingly a tasty combination of two foods he found unpleasant) he went in the line hoping he was there faster than everyone to the line and got the salad dressing for some weird reason everyone who works here gets salad dressing most of them don''t even eat salads. I got to the front of the line to realise they stop serving salads because it was Tuesday and the boss thought it would be good to do Taco Tuesday i mean we work in an research facility testing anomalies why throw Taco Tuesday.I¡¯m allergic to beef so i had to get a sandwich with jelly for some reason and not even peanut butter with it just jelly? I sat next to my friend¡¯s Mr Ethan.S( who is a very famous gene splicer and works as the Head of the DNA compartment also in the meeting and has a phobia of Ikea?) and a Thomas.S( The head to the Containment department working with me in the meeting and always looks head on at the problem) surprisingly no family connection between the two of them.Suddenly Ethan''s face becomes pale as i realise he forgot to cook the chicken breast he just took a big bite of.His eyes widen as he vomits all over the desk and our food.James quickly ran over gave him a sick note and had him escorted out so he didn''t puke on any important documents.

I sat there devastated about the condition my food was in and angrily threw it into the bin with my food gone I wouldn''t be energised and would be tired so as the alarm rang to tell us to get back to work I stomped angrily to the break room to pour myself a lovely cup of dark black coffee with one sugar Chapter 3 will this day get worse oh yes, it will As I walked to the break room the alarms blared a beeping noise and coated everything a deep red.A robotic voice repeated loudly¡±ATTENTION MULTIPLE ANOMALIES HAVE ESCAPED THEIR CELLS TRANSFER REMAINING ANOMALIES TO NEW SITE IMMEDIATELY¡± My eyes widened as blood curdling screams echoed throughout the facility being cut short seconds later this was not a test. This was a nightmare made real everyone still currently in this building would perish in seconds he imagined the torture everyone would go through.He snapped back to reality with the sounds of bloodcurdling screams coming from down the corridor to the right.Nervously I walked to the corridor to do my job and transfer the ones still currently captured.Suddenly Thomas comes sprinting from the corridor on the right to the one on the left screaming for help and that IT is after him.I instantly reach and pull out my standard issue firearm hand gun for Thomas¡¯s protection from the pocket in my lab coat and look across the corridor at him to see what was chasing him when I found out what IT was.When it broke though the wall. It was on top of him in seconds its hands stopping him from flailing around to get it off him.In fear for my friends life I shot at the tall lanky pale man on my friend but horrifyingly there wasn''t even the slightest of dents in its back.I quickly look away because I know the next few seconds won¡¯t be pretty to Thomas.Nothing happens for a few seconds so I look over to see if he is okay and see it beat his head in to the floor as he screams in pain and then he stops midway through and stops moving.Its over he''s gone.I sit and sob for a few minutes before I feel a hand grab my shoulder and a voice says something before i turn around firearm ready to shoot my attacker when I see a fist hit my knees.
