Architect of a new Species

She stared,
at the computer monitor,
studying the genetic code
of the creatures
inside the artificial wombs.

She knew
that the creature was not entirely human,
but she was not precisely sure
how much of its genetic code was human and
how much was ichthyo1.

Her fears
whispered to her,
urging her
to destroy the abominations;
however,
reason spoke louder,
indeed, it shouted
for her to continue her mother's experiments.

She smiled,
considering the fame,
the accolades,
and the wealth,
she would receive
as the architect of a new species.

Only a couple of months,
she thought,
I will release
them into the ocean
and blow the minds
of every scientist on Earth..

***

Two months later,
during the dark of the moon,
she released
twenty-five merhumans into the Pacific Ocean.
