The being looked around, turning it's graceful head this way and that, looking over the playground with it's gold-green eyes. No one here. Then again, what did Wormwood really expect? It was his first time out of the experimentation labs and it was nearly four in the morning. He would have liked to see someone, but even being alone was nice.
The body was wrong. He looked down. It looked right. Androgynous, curly blonde hair... they had the eyes in the right shape, but the wrong colour. His eyes should be golden, not green! But.... They had the wings...
He stretched them out experimentally to their full span of near 15 feet and flapped them once and then twice. Right...but somehow wrong. He folded them against his back and looked up to the 'sky'. "Dear God...." He started. "What have they done to me?" He bowed his head, seeming to listen. "Yes.... Yes, of course. Wait. I can do that. I've been doing it for years already. I'll see what I can do here... of course, yes..."
He looked up again, tears streaming down his slightly tanned cheeks. His skin glinted, as if covered in glitter. The moonlight caught on his skin, sparking off in little gentle sparkles. He sighed and wiped his hands, numerous bands covered his wrists. Hospital bands bearing his name and condition and status. Although, it seemed rather pointless. He felt fine. Better than fine. He had preformed all the tests up to their standards and excelled. His body worked perfectly. "I wonder where my old body is?" He questioned, raising a hand to his cheek.
"And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter." (Revelation 8:10, 11, KJB)
"I guess this is where I stay for awhile..."
He stepped up to a swing and sat himself down in it. He pushed lightly, the chains creaking as he swung gently back and forth. It was going to be interesting. The time was soon.
"The time has come, it is quite clear, our anti-Christ is almost here...."
