An infants bones are constantly growing and not always as they should.
Limbs can quite easily become deformed to the point where amputation is a necessity.
Mostly these situations are put down to a poor draw in the genetic lottery.
What if I told you that we are all vulnerable to this?
It isn't just one lone segment of DNA causing havoc within a few developing humans.
It's the entire human race - we all have that little strand within us that could destroy us.
A dozen extra limbs, no ribcage, no skull - it could be any one of us.
And what makes matters even worse it how easily this can be triggered.
They'll call it cancer and cut it out before anything untoward can occur but if left unchecked
over the course of several years (and a very high pain threshold) one can cease to be human at all.
We find them as corpses, always as corpses that are claimed to be "alien" or cattle.
Whichever is the biggest trend at the time.
So far only a small team of scientists know the exact trigger, to tell the world is to erase humanity.
Imagine if you could warp your neighbour's body with a single, irreversible thing.
When given something and told that it is dangerous, most humans will use it anyway.
Studies have shown this time and time again to the point where those who know are imprisoned.
It's been said they haven't seen sunlight since they made the breakthrough.
Every person who tried to escape was met with swift and cruel retaliation - the trigger.
Now even if they did get out, nobody would recognise them.
Not that they live beyond a week anyway.
