Tobia sits on the old chair in the living room. The carpet smells of dust and medicine. His father stands close, preparing a syringe beneath the yellow ceiling light.
Marcus Stone
Hold still, Tobia. This will make you feel better.
The needle catches the light. Behind Marcus, the old bookcase hides the laboratory entrance, while videotapes and discarded clothes clutter the room around them.
Marcus Stone
The first trial worked. I only need to record how quickly the new virus takes hold.
Marcus presses the syringe toward Tobia's arm. The tracker on Tobia's right ankle gives a faint electronic chirp, answering something unseen below the floor.
Marcus Stone
There. Almost finished. You will not remember the fear afterward.
The needle touches skin. From behind the bookcase comes a dull scrape, followed by one small, muffled knock from inside the hidden laboratory.
