Nathan
The day after the attack.
***
In a dark tunnel, Nathan watched his comrade into transformation. Another human Abominant experienced filtered air for the first time since he was human. The dark tunnel was filled with agonizing screams, curses, and mumbling. It ran for hours and Nathan absorbed his comrade's utter frustration.
"You haven't told me about this!" The second Abominant wheezed in pain. His body was emaciated on the floor as the transformation progressed.
"I told you that you will endure it," Nathan responded.
"You never told me that we will revert to human. You are sending me into a trap!"
"No. You are here because I need assistance in attacking the city."
"They slaughtered my battalion!" The other one said. His blackened skin started to wear off and was replaced by white, slimy, human skin.
