Murderous Instinct


Day 1


“Dr. Kill” shouted his associate in quivering tone and gasping breath. 


“What is it Dr. Bill? What made you to loose your cool and run to me like a maniac! ”


“It’s happening….” gulped Dr. Bill .


“What on earth! I never thought it would be possible while we are alive.”

“Are you sure of it”

or

“Are you day dreaming in stress.” replied Dr. Kill in doubtful tone.


“I am sure of it and I’ll bet my head on it” shouted Dr. Bill with terror looming eyes.


[An evil smirk reinvigorated the doctor’s face] 


“The time has come Mr. Bill, let’s initiate project Kill Bill”

Day 60


"In this rucas an audio clip which was concealed by the collaberated governments is leaked to the public."

[Static beeping]


"My fellow humans, by the time you listen to this the situation will obviously be out of hands. Brave or Coward, well it doesn't matter. Every living creature on the planet will see and taste the absolute terror. I know your little heads will be filled with questions rather than answers. But bear with me, I'll try to elucidate why this is happening and how this murderous instinct even came in to existence. Even I might be dead in this process of salvation. so, don't waste your breath cursing me. Puhahaha(Terror inducing laugh).

Oh my! Oh my! I got a bit overboard.

Prepare your selvs to hear this., Your fate changing story. It starts at some point in my childhood where I used to be the best student of my class and a loving son to my parents. I was a happy person until one day when I found my parents in a blood bath. I cried and wept but they didn't came back. I agitated for revenge but the culprits identities were concealed. I cried for help and went afar waiting at the door side of every official seeking justice but I was thrown out like a trash. I became homeless, hungry, despaired and I turned out to be good as dead. I thought that instant is my last day on this planet but suprisingly something else happened.

I heard a strange voice in my head saying ' We will grant you your revenge.... but on one condition. You need to allow us to reprogram your intelligence and you need to act accordingly abiding to it's instructions.'

【Looming Silence】

I agreed without a moment of hesitation and what else matters to a person in the death bed than a sweet revenge.

After making the deal, I was reborn as Dr.Kill and I accomplished many wonders in the field of science as per the instructions given by the voice in my head and finally met Dr. Bill who share the bond of murderous instinct just like me. We are two peas in a pod and the day of our dreams came into reality. The first Z-1 was born and the plan is to infiltrate every possible part of the world with Z-1's and which obviously leads to the second phase. -The zombie terror. The subjects in contact with Z-1's physically or through any medium turn in to mindless maniacs and the rest is your history. I think this is far enough for you to understand the situation you are in. You can thank me later in the hell for enlighting you on the matters of our final project-Kill Bill. The last succesful project on the planet earth.【smirk】

I won't take another second from your so called miserable life. Adios,

Rot in hell humans."

[End of the message]
