That night I changed. Like serpentine tendrils of unholy light, the meteor shower carried a sinister secret and I was infected, my humanity peeled away from my body as I was reshaped into a beast that had to devour others to survive. I had become an apex -- an extraterrestrial predator.
Cursed with a hunger that would never fade and struggling to maintain my humanity, I now live within the ruined confines of a city prowling with others like me. This is my tale of how it all began. The Apex Chronicles have only just begun.
This [5,800 word] short story is the prelude of the Apex Chronicles series by R.Kain, an action-adventure, sci-fi story centered on how those who have become apexes survive in the unforgiving environment they've been sealed inside.
