Mutants 12/16/07

[Caradon]

Mutants I'm in the upstairs bedroom of an old town house I used to live in as a kid. It's night, and I'm surrounded by inhuman mutant creatures that are bent on killing and eating me. I have a grenade! rather than letting the creatures kill me. I squeeze the trigger then leap into the air above all the creatures. As I fly through the air I realize the pin has not been pulled on the grenade yet. I pull the pin as I'm falling into the mass of mutants. I let go of the trigger, and hope that there is not to much of a delay before the explosion. because I don't want to feel the mutants ripping me apart. I'm not disappointed the grenade goes off almost instantly. everything goes black and I see bursts of light in my vision. kind of like if you push your fingers against your closed eyelids. And everything is quiet now as well. I realize that I'm laying on the floor. I'm a little confused because I'm not dead. I'm afraid that maybe half my body exploded, and I'm just going to lay there until I die. My vision comes back and I'm able to stand up. There are mangled body parts and blood all over the room. for a moment I think some of it is mine. But I feel fine. Now I become very afraid.(I wasn't before) It's still night outside, the window is open and the light is on in the room. Outside, I can hear the inhuman screeching of more untold numbers of mutant creatures. I'm terrified that they will realize I'm still alive inside. I crawl across the floor towards the window, trying to stay low so that they don't see me. once to the window I reach up and slide it closed. I crawl back across the room going for the light switch. I need to turn the light off, but I'm a Little afraid they will notice the light go out and come looking for me. I turn the light off anyway. I'm about to go into the back of the closet and curl up in a dark corner trying to hide until the sun comes up, and the creatures go away. But, I now realize I have to pee really bad. So before I can hide I need to find the bathroom. I make my way down a dark hall, expecting more creatures to jump out at me at any moment. from other rooms. I make it to the bathroom, And I'm about to start going when I realize that it does no good to pee in dreams. But I don't really become Lucid. I wake up shortly after thinking that. And I really have to go.

A mutant is an individual, organism, or new genetic character arising or resulting from an instance of mutation, which is a base-pair sequence change within the DNA of a gene or chromosome of an organism resulting in the creation of a new character or trait not found in the wild type. The natural occurrence of genetic mutations is integral to the process of evolution. The study of mutants is an integral part of biology, by understanding the effect that a mutation in a gene has it is possible to establish the normal function of that gene.[2] In some organisms mutants can be created by gene targeting to assess the function of any given gene. This experimental approach is called reverse genetics[3]. For example, a collection of knockout moss mutants can be used to identify genes with so far unknown functions [4].

Well my title is based in sci fi fiction terms lol. But this is certainly one of the most interesting comments I've gotten.
