The Cornish Urchin Dr Mike Pearce

A lot of organisms have useful genes for attributes that we do not have. Some animals have better sense organs for detecting sound, smell, vision and taste. Some can run faster, even fly. The sea urchin, is believed to have a better immune system than we have and this story is based on an experiment where urchin genes are transferred to humans. This has devastating consequences for one child who is compelled to prey on people who have dined and wined. Retribution comes at the end but through some imaginary ladies.
