“Mierta!” Mortain shouted at the top of the stairs, hearing nothing but his own voice echo. Watching
smoke drifting out of the open doorway, Mortain took in a deep breath and tried to slow down his heart.
The aroma of acrid chemicals and burning flesh filled his nose.
“Mierta!” he shouted again. “Son, you all right?” He listened, hearing nothing more than what sounded
like gasping breaths.
“Father,” Mierta mouthed in response to Mortain’s calls, unable to produce any sounds as he dropped to
one knee. His heart was pounding. Each pulse matched the ache he felt in his temples. A deep burning
pain seared through his chest every time he took a breath. It was like he was slowly being strangled and
there was nothing he could do to stop it. The inside of his nose felt charred and his throat felt like he was
swallowing tacks. He blinked, his eyesight blurring, the pain beginning to overwhelm him. Nausea built
in his throat and droplets of sweat slid down the side of his face. He wished he could do anything to end
the torture. He could not imagine dying would be much worse.
Mierta attempted to stand and tried to get away from the workbench. He managed a few staggering steps
before his body was drained of all energy. He watched puffy white circling clouds fill his vision before
everything was replaced by darkness.
Mortain felt his stomach drop at the sound of something breaking. “Mierta!” he screamed, racing down
the stairs. “Mierta, answer me!”
When he reached the bottom, Mortain abruptly stopped, taking in the horrific scene before him. His son
was unconscious; lying sprawled out on his back. What remained of a small culture tube lay shattered
next to him, and chemicals dripping from a workbench bubbled and fizzled as they made contact with the
hardwood floor.
Acidum salis, he thought, his eyes widening.
Mortain raised his arm to his mouth, careful to not inhale any of the smoke that was filling the room. He
trembled as he came closer, observing the damage that had been done to the left side of his son’s face.
The skin was mostly raw red with patches of peeling burned black skin hanging off his face. Blood was
seeping from some of the deep crevasses caused by the acid. Most of the damage was confined to the
cheek and jaw area. His eye was spared any damage.
“Oh, my dear Lord,” he uttered, fear filling his heart. “My poor boy! What have I done?”
