Lev stared at the picture, wondering what news it was about and recalling the words Ilyana said about a drug which could change a human limb into something monstrous. His jaw clenched tighter as he realized what was off... back then when the nuns who took care of him died, he never saw their bodies. But what if... what if the experiment was done on the last villagers who lived there?
His village had no youth. It was mostly filled with elderlies and when one by one all of them died, leaving him alone, Lev didn't think much of it. He only thought that time had come for them and they had died due to natural causes. But he was too sheltered from the outside world for living in the far corner of Russia, thus he didn't know what kind of rumors were floating around his own village.
