Unnatural Selection Victoria Escobar

I had no name. My assignment was M001/A5. Marpesia Project Test One, Fifth Embryo. I wasn't considered human. I was a thing to be owned. I just wanted freedom. I wanted out of the lab and away from being the guinea pig for hundreds of scientists. I wanted to see the world with my eyes not through a computer monitor. Instead I took two bullets, fell from twenty stories and ran to save my life. From who and what I had no idea and that wasn't important at the time. Life was important. I had my freedom but no idea what to do with it. There's no way to out run the past, and I had to face it. There were too many strings loose and too many people that would be more than happy to lock me in a cage again. Life was an evolution of natural selection but thanks to human intervention I was Unnatural. I would be deciding who to allow living, and who needed to die.
