Stained Metal
Metal screeches and groans from a writhing mess of sinew and wire, woven around a body that reeks of decay. The howls of machinery threatens the nights silence as it whirrs to life, echoing a disgusting yet pitiful cry. Torn and mutilated, a disheveled corpse held together only by steel shambles along broken corridors; a horror reanimated by machine. May it find salivation at the end of its miserable existence, for such a creature has been cursed to dwell within the decrepit walls of a facility long abandoned. Stories sail from ear to ear, recounting the prime of mans greatest achievements—an era defined by discovery, passion, innovation, and most importantly: progression. Brilliant minds from all over the worlds continents joined together to build upon this very foundation, thus marking the birth of a facility like no other. This foundation invited those of many scientific fields who had honed their skills and intimate knowledge over decades to unite. Together as one, man would ascend to greater heights never before reached by their predecessors. This tale however is not one of golden glory, for an unseen darkness plagued its legacy. Rumors flocked to the towns, as whispers of horrifying weapons and experiments tainted the air. The origins of these rumors were a mystery left unsolved, though government bodies were not unfamiliar with such conspiracies surrounding them. For a time, these rumors remain only as that; rumors... That is, until tragedy reared it’s ugly head. Whether it was an unpredictable event, or the consequence of toying with elements man should not have disturbed. Unbeknownst to the many, something truly awful festered beneath the surface of their accomplishments. Mans foolish desires culminated in a tragedy far beyond their control, as in a single night all they had made was ravaged and torn asunder.
