I've had 4 stories deleted and I'm getting pissed. Here's my newest one called souls:

Somewhere in Hagen, Germany under dirt and dust and gravel lies a small laboratory. There are tales of experiments during the time when Nazi Germany was in power, many of which untrue, but this particular horror may be as close as mankind will get to supernatural. There were 12 scientists, conducting procedures with electronic devices and rare fluids, among them was a static and current combination which showed efficient in electrocution and a poisonous substance called mercury. And nothing usually resulted but death from these. After many months of testing the lab group finally extracted a strange body fluid from a human, it was murky grey with spots of color spraying threw it. The patient was a young boy, 11 or less. He had brown hair and green eyes, with a pale skin that looked like glow of a candlelight. After having the liquid extracted. just stared into space, only doing normal actions to survive. The scientists found that the patient only had his Brain stem (Which controls basic body needs), Parietal Lobe (Movement), and Occipital Lobe (Sight) working.

The substance was tested through many machines but proved to act as a thick water, but nothing else. Until they injected it into someone. This new patient was old, maybe 60 or 70. He had wrinkled skin, no hair, and his eyes were as grey as death, for he knew it would come. The Murky Liquid gave the subject all of the boy's memory and knowledge, along with making his heart and limbs almost new, like the boy’s. Since the tester was a prisoner, the Scientists shot him after. But the scientists were fascinated with this liquid and obtained more and more of it. The liquid proved to be addictive, as the scientists saw. But soon the scientists changed. After giving themselves enough of this substance their bodies grew slim and slender, and their skin grew dark and calised. Their arms jutted out and their fingers reconnected into blade like skin. Their eyes shrunk back into their skulls and their teeth grew sharp and wide. Their legs were the worst to look at though. They had split and turned into disconnected joints that wobbled and had retractable claws.

Soon the scientists craved more, and didn’t even have to use their machine to get it. All they had to do was eat. The scientists found that once you change, you can obtain the substance they needed from someone by just consuming them. Once the scientists ate enough people they changed back to their original form, with the exception that they had no pupils, just blank white eyes and a fine slit across their body. When they needed to feed, the slit would detach and open like an iron maiden, engulfing they prey instantly. When WWII ended the area was deserted and raided, while the scientists lurked inside. Soon it became off limits and buried under dust and rubble. Some say that there was no scientists or lab to begin with, some say it existed but the scientists died because of lack of humans to feed on. Some say that the scientists are still down there, waiting for prey for years and years alone and scared, but they escaped and roam towns waiting for an unlucky soul to travel along its path. Either way, just be careful. You never know what could be lurking in the shadows.
