The Walking Of Snakes

In the twenty third century something is looming just below the stars on the horizon...

When one of the last earthbound nations finally splits in two after a war of interests, a man sets out to pull the strings and tear people of their human skin. By using newfound alien DNA to create something between person and alien, he made them into something new without rules or regulations, something to be used, yet nothing lasts forever. All this unknown to a group of young scavengers as they were sent out to find old forgotten technologies of the barren earthbound world. Their bliss will not last forever and they too will soon find out just how twisted everything can become.
