| Changes A story by Gene Wolf, on sale now at Amazon.com Dr. Richard O’Brian is the Director of Genetic Research at S&W Pharma, a large multinational drug company with only one interest; the bottom line. Cures for sickness and disease are frowned upon. If a disease is cured there are no more paying clients. However, if a vaccine can be created to be sold to billions of people, well, that was just good business sense! Genetic research, and understanding how the immune system worked would allow S&W to develop vaccines for every illness known. Dr. O’Brian’s painstaking research uncovered the computer like coding behind how all genetics operated. His goal, and that of S&W, was to find a method of supercharging the immune system by tearing down the genetic structure of an animal and rebuild so the immune system would operate much more efficiently. This process, Genemorphysis, is administered as a vaccine and takes months to run to completion. To test his discovery Phase I clinical trials were designed to turn one animal into another with a rebuilt immune system. The results were far better than anyone dreamed possible. When reports from India indicate there’s a mutant superbug on the loose it seems the timing of the research couldn’t have been better. Unfortunately, as they discover just how serious this outbreak is, they also realize they have no time to finish the remaining two phases of their genetic research. Is anyone ready for the changes that are inevitably coming? Other short stories in this ebook include: The Trickster - A Coyote story told in the traditional American Indian tradition.
