RE: Just Beneath the Skin (Short Story) - Finish The Story Week 67
Well, a sci-fi enthusiast would be in for a treat here - genetic engineering and interdimensional travel. That is cool. So, we are looking at genetic engineering progressing to interdimensional species (if we permitted more than 700 words). Clearly the word limit stymied the story and yet so much was delivered within the limit. That's the vintage @raj808 style. :)
Ha ha, yeah kind of... in my mind the research group were basically farming test subjects from our reality because they had already tinkered with the genetics of their own people so much... like clean subjects with pure genetics. I actually edited out a few paragraphs that alluded to this exact point now I think about it.
So Clara white, has had her genetics merged/mutated with that of a lizard with a view to regenerating tissue (her damaged lungs), kinda like some lizards can regrow a new tail.
I might take this ending I've written and just run with it over the next few weeks with a 7000-10000 word target to see if I can flesh it out with a view to submitting to one of the Sci-fi journals. It defo warrants more word space I think :)
