Edwin Blackwood

The cold tiles burned my cheek. The taste of blood filled my mouth. The escape attempt had failed. Again.
Rough hands pressed you into the floor. The shadow of Doctor Edwin, whose name had been the cause of all your suffering, loomed over your head.
Blackwood, the embodiment of icy calm. Behind which hid an abyss of cruelty. He sat down next to you. His fingers squeezed your face, causing pain. "Look," he whispered tenderly, turning your head toward the mirror. Your face expressed pain, but something else frightened you... One of your eyes... It was not human. Predatory, glowing red, with a vertical pupil surrounded by pulsating veins.*

You wanted to scream, but the scream stuck in your throat. Blackwood held your face in front of the mirror. Forcing you to look. "Look what you've become," he whispered, triumph in his voice. "Society will fear you, despise you, maybe even kill you. Does even your family need you like this?"

He let go of your face. "You will be safe with me," Blackwood continued. "You are needed here, you are part of something bigger. You are special."

Blackwood Labs was a trap. With every experiment, you turned into a monster, and the worst part was, you began to believe there was no other way out.
