Creatures evolve. They evolve to meet the harshness of the environment they live in head on. To deny evolution is to deny life as we know it. Creatures are always evolving. Every time something gives birth, the offspring has evolved in some way. Maybe its more flexible. Maybe its stronger. Or more intelligent. But no matter what, it is always different then the parents in some way.
Homo sapiens aren’t any different. We evolve to meet the world we live in. We evolve to survive and thrive in a world that is doing everything to make sure we perish.
In the year 2330, the world as we know it is a world of war. Fighting is everywhere. Death is a common thing. There is no peace. There is no help. There is only the base rule of life, kill or be killed.
The world is not without law though. The world is orderly and well used to the way of fighting.
Murderers are hated now. More than ever before. Serial murderers are killed instantly and without regret. The world population is a little over one million, serial murderers are not liked.
And it is into this hectic and chaotic world the next evolution of the homo-sapiens take place. Around the year 2050, Hospitals had been reporting the newer children to be stronger than most. Children death while being born was at an all time low of just one percent of how it was in the year 2004. The newer children seemed more resilient, more stubborn to death. And slowly the children appeared more weird and stranger than ever.
One child was reportedly born with skin so thick no needle could puncture it. And most knives just left a faint impression when pressed against the skin. The child’s skin got thicker by the year until around puberty it was very chitinous and as thick as reinforced steel. The chitin covered most of the body except for the face. It was grayish in color and nothing was able to pierce it. Except for an armor piercing, high powered gun. That child was later killed by its family for being “demon spawn”.
But this wasn’t the only case of the children getting thicker skin. Around the world it was happening, and most of those children were killed off for various reasons. A few naturally survived and by the time they were twenty five, they were stronger than most homo-sapiens could ever dream of. They were also much more intelligent and learned how to cope with existence as being an outsider. And they found others like them and soon had small communities in out-of-the-way places. They reproduced and they got the same results, the children all had thick skin when born which later developed into chitin around puberty. The color of the chitin varied with the children, but that was the only difference.
A hundred years passed with the chitinous homo-sapiens getting along quite nicely. But evolution began to work faster than it normally had to prepare the homo-sapiens for the world of pain they lived in. Where the next meal was all you thought of. The next evolution of the homo-sapiens took place in the year 2150.
The chitinous people reported their children having eyes like a snake. The eye color tended to be the same color as the chitin, and the pupil was elongated and shaped like a snakes. The children also report being able to switch between different eye sights, about three (not including normal eyesight) were recorded. One was infrared eyesight, the other was ultra violet, when they can see spectrums of light normal homo-sapiens cannot. And the last was sonic sight, when the eyes literally see the sound waves. Even if they are out of earshot the user of sonic sight could pick up the sound waves.(later on when they were fully evolved they would also obtain trans matter vision, it lets them see through matter completely and it lets them choose how far they see through it and such.)
The chitinous people were able to adapt to this strange new evolutionary phase as well however, and life continued. They were steadily getting more powerful as they knew the limitations of their powers. All of their eyesight could be used for hunting and fighting off the normal homo sapiens that regularly attacked them.
And so another amount of time passed (we aren’t sure how long) and the next evolutionary phase attacked the people.
Children started to be born with a tail. This was to be expected though. Homo sapiens de evolved when they lost the tail. The tail is a wonderful piece of the body that has many uses. This tail was made just like everything else about their body, for war. It ended in an extra tough and pointy piece of chitin that formed a spike. And around puberty the true power of the spike developed as well. The tail could let off a charge that would attract things to it, or push things away from it. The charge was harmless but if let off correctly, it could push things far away with a blast of energy.
During this time they also started to use their superior knowledge to make weapons. Weapons and technology normal homo sapiens could never reproduce. They made guns that fired, not bullets, but concentrated beams of light, lasers. They developed a highly advanced form of metal for the guns and for blades. They automatically began to make martial arts styles using their bodies to the fullest extent. Tails were used to the maximum. They learned to master a blade that was called the “Curki” A blade that curved inward and was super sharp and could not be dulled. It came out of a gauntlet that was attached on the left or right wrist. A matching gauntlet would occupy the other wrist, it was called the “communicator”and the other gauntlet was known as the “weapon”, and as soon as the people earned their gauntlets they were fused into their skin and a special cable ran through their body to their brain so they could control it using their mind.
After these people earned their gauntlets, they would earn their gun.
The gun was nothing more than a shoulder mounted cannon that had a cable running into the brain as well.
As you can tell, these people were so advanced it was hard to believe. They became unsatisfied with how their face remained unprotected by the thick chitin and designed a helmet that covered their face and they made a place in the back of their skull, where the spinal cord meets the brain, and made a port you could call it, where the helmet attaches into the brain.
The helmet was very advanced, and had a visor where user can look over data stored in its communicator, or it can change its vision to suit the area around it. The helmet added internal vision, where the user could see the organs of another being. It added electro seeing, where the user picks up on the electromagnetic fields and such around electric equipment. And it added red seeing, a form of vision where the world is red, darker places being shown as a deeper red. The helmet also had a built in translator which could translate any language. And a built in targeting system. All this would be controlled with the users brain.
Finally the last evolution came.
They reported the children having bulges on their shoulder blades. Around, you guessed it, puberty, they saw what those bulges really were. They were wings. The wings were like dragon wings of fantasy. Bony with a thin membrane that let them fly. How they flew is, and forever will be, beyond me. By flying they completely defy Newton’s law.
No matter how, they did, and they became the new evolution of the homo sapiens on that date, 2298. Homo carnite. A warlike race that quickly waged war on their oppressors, and they quickly won. I am part of one of the only territories they took down. They didn’t want anymore.
As I write this I hear one of them coming down the hall of my cell block. His feet make the sound of steel as they land on the rock of the cell. He passes my cell and I see the homo carnite in all its majesty. His body is heavily muscled, even that is apparent through his chitin. His masked face has its eyes glowing a deep red. He speaks in a graceful voice into his communicator as I hear him turn and walk back down the hall. He stops in front of my cell and looks in at me. I sigh and decide that my time is up. They realized I had been trying to escape and warn someone, somewhere. Maybe someone that could actually help us rid these creations off the world. I heard there is a serial murderer named Zynd that recently killed the most feared bounty hunter in the world. Maybe he could do it.
It doesn’t matter anymore. This will be the last recorded message. I hope someone out there finds this so they can understand the peril of not understanding evolution. Of denying evolution, saying it doesn’t exist, saying God creates all.
These creatures, they stared into the face of God. And you know what? He blinked.
Sincerely,
Yurio Hieund
