In this world full of living biological organisms, I existed. Created by the greatest minds, I grew up being monitored, labeled, examined, calculated, measured and studied. They told me I was so special and will be the antidote of all the morbus this planet has. Being brainwashed by their words, I displayed all my potentials and capabilities on fighting pathogens, to the extent they once called me “queen of all microbes”.

I continued to grew stronger and more deadly in assaulting other microbes that these great minds started to shift their perceptions to another level — more complex, more drastic. They locked me in a cylindrical chamber called test tube. Viewed me under the most advanced laboratory equipment and studied me once more. This time it’s more complex compared to how I was studied before. They started dropping liquids on me and recorded all my behaviors and reactions. Every minute, another drop of fluid touches my superficial coverings. It freezes, burns and even alters my chemical contents.

So tired of what they were doing to me, I lost my consciousness, drifting to another dimension of reality. When I came back to my consciousness, I felt different. It’s like I’m not the old me. They changed me, they upgraded me. Not to my very potential, but to a biological weapon.

I no longer eliminate pathogens, instead I became one of them. I destroy systems and bring death to every corner of this vast ecosystems. I’m no longer the “queen of all microbes”. They now call me “Corona”.

I don’t like to be this way but I can’t do a thing about it cause I was been manipulated and controlled by the same great minds who created me. In every death I bring to every breathing species, I became stronger. I’m no longer in control in all of these madness. Someone please take me out of here.
