My book "Gene. Sys." is on it's way!

So my goal is to write 1 page a day so that by the end of the year I will have a 330 page book. I am happy to say that 19 days in I am on page 30. This is a completely different world for me but I am thoroughly enjoying it. So to help keep me honest I am going to share bits and pieces of the book along the way. Here is the first part. It’s from chapter 2:

He leads us down a couple more hallways to an elevator. We get in and he puts his hand on another screen. “Rene Anfang.” I can feel it taking us down. After a few moments, it stops and the doors open. What I see before me is so overwhelming that I can barely take it all in. There is a giant room filled with machinery and monitors. It seems like around thirty scientists are working on the various equipment. In the center there appears to be twelve giant tubes. Dad turns to Ev and I. “Welcome to the Center for Genetic and Obstetric Design, or the Center for G.O.D. This Atom and Ev was where you were created.”

She and I look at each other, not sure what to make of this information. Dad takes us down a set of metallic stairs to the ground floor. I get a better look at the twelve tubes and can’t move. Ev takes my hand and grips it tight. If she was at all angry with me from last night the shock of what we see before us has changed her mind.

The first two tubes are empty but the remaining ten have bodies floating in green liquid. Five males and five female. It has never been a secret that Ev and I were created this way but we thought we were the only ones. I feel betrayed and I just want to run out of there but I can’t look away. Each one of them looks different. Different skin tones, different hair color.

Dad comes up behind us and puts his hands on our shoulders. “These, my dear Atom and Ev, are the other Genetic Systems. Together you will all be Earth’s regenesis.”
