Genesis of The Cursed

The Gifted rule. The half-bloods serve. The system is complete. Beneath its perfection, there is a laboratory. The records are meticulous. They document conditions, observations, and outcomes. They do not document what it is to be the subject. That silence is not an oversight. Some things, once begun, do not end cleanly. Genesis of the Cursed is the second novella in The Heresy of Blood, a gothic science fantasy told through what was recorded and what wasn't.
