What Happened To Us

     It didn't take long for the Wires to separate us. 

    Back in the early 12000's, we were all the same. Simple creatures with the ability to create technologies that would preserve us for generations to come. Tampering with new ideas until we couldn't even make up any new ideas and just kept tinkering with the older ones. The Wires -those damned devices- woke up and began to mess with us instead. We would find them trying to insert themselves into us, figuring out how to draw out enough liquids to keep the flesh intact without worrying about rusting themselves. 

    It only took three years.

    Now the ones who let the Wires play with them live underground, just like their infectors. We call them Gremlins now, seeing as how they basically look like the Gremlins that we grew up with back then. Big pointy ears pierced with electronics, small hunched bodies covered in wires and circuits. They really are grotesque looking, if you ask me. They have a name for the rest of us who didn't take the Wires into our bodies - Uprights. I have no clue why. We still look like our normal selves, as much as we could. According to the Gremlins, we look like those demi-god beings out of the old stories of gods and goddesses. I can't see it honestly. 

    I think it's those damned Wires.
