Something special. Search for old home movies.

An idea strikes him. He sneaks through the dinning room and head up stairs so that Juliet will not have any idea of his surprise. He head to the attic door and head up the last set of stairs. It is strange to hear the coming storm's waters shower on the roof. He begin to rummage through one box and then another trying earnestly to find some home movies, preferably one that didn’t have aunt Sally getting lit. He was up there about ten minutes when he found something that really peeked his interests. There was an old compact disk with the words “Project Eden” written across it. He had the strongest sense of déjà vu. He really wanted to find an old family video but his curiosity was too strong. He took the disk and turned to head to his room.

As he turned around, he was greeted by the intense eyes of his sister. “What are you doing here John?”

He feels a little guilty. He has obviously made her worry even more. “I was just looking for some home movies, maybe something with dad. I don’t know. I think I have really been missing him lately.”

This obvious stung. His sister just looked at the ground for a moment. “So, did you find anything?”

“You… well not yet. I found this,” he holds up the old CD. “I think it was some of his work. I was going to have a look.”

She walks over to him and takes the disk. “What is it?”

“I am not sure, entirely,” he confesses. “But, something makes me really want to find out.”

“What?” she asks, “Why?”

“I hate to admit it but I don’t have a real answer just a feeling.” He sighs. “If you don’t want to I understand.”

“No, no, I mean it was Dad’s, we kind of have like a right or obligation or something, right?” She inquires.

“Yeah, it feels like I have some duty to him to see this.” The two of he agree to check it out on his computer. He have to search everywhere for his old CD reader. I was almost 10:00 pm before he get everything set up and computer ready to read it. As soon as the disk is read this message appears.

“Prepare to access files on project Eden. Enter Password in the next 30 seconds or hard drive will be cleared.”

“Oh, Shit, John!” his sister exclaims. He consider removing the disk but decide it would be too little too late. His mind races. He have hundreds of project, plans, and papers on there, he do not want to lose, not to mention his little 50 gigabytes of kick ass porn. His heart pounding in his ears. He type in the first word to come to his mind.

“Genesis”

Miraculously it works. The count down ends. Julie look at he, “how did you know?”

Honestly, he reply, “I have no idea.” He looks at the files. The two of he are fascinated by their information. They describe a process for creating a human. The exact DNA code down to the last bar. This person, if the formula was correct, would be a superhuman, with a body heighten in a unique balance. Nothing too powerful, no single aspect over powering the others, but distinctly better in everything. Once the subject was reached maturity injections of certain specially designed viruses would be used stimulate an increased production of Aresine, Athenatonin, Metisatonin, Sekhmetanen, Chronisilia, Plutoal and Diosatol, this would finalize the superhuman project making gods of men. Officially the project was scrapped, deem folly for their in ability to control these creation. To his horror as he read, he discovered he father had illegally continued the project. He had named it Project Adam and Project Eve. Nearly twenty years ago he had experimented on his own code. He convinced their mother to artificial insemination, under ruse that it was to insure that after the elder sister he would have a son, “one of each.” He had created John and implanted him in her womb. He had been concerned that John’s code might be too different to from other humans to reproduce so he created John’s sister as well. “An accidental blessing,” he had told their mother. His intent had been to tell them of all this on their 21st birthday, when he would offer he the chance to take the last piece of his “god serum.” Journal entries when on and on about how hard it was to keep this all a secret. He major concerns were with Julie. He had been very careful to make them both different but similar enough to ensure them would be at least be able to “mate” (the whole thing read so clinically) with her, but she had to look enough like him so as not to arouse suspicion so he had a small fear that if the two of them could only produce viable off spring with each other then there would be too little genetic various and within a few generation inbreeding would undo everything. His second fear was that the two of them would be too bound by society’s “morals” and be unable to find each other as viable mates.

It took sometime for all of this to sink in. On one hand, they just found out genetically they have no family (even if they counted their father, & he was now dead). On the other hand, they were design by their father to be the next step in human evolution and to rule mankind for the remainder of their much-extended lifespan. John is stunned. He turns to his sister.

“Juuh…” is all he gets out before he find his sister with her arms around he and her tongue down his throat.
