Doctor Richfield had barely escaped his death as he ran out the door of the treatment room.  He watched in horror with Mr. and Mrs. Syrafax as their recently deceased son was now ripping apart what remained of the four doctors and nurses left in the treatment room.  Philip had managed to bite the cheek of one nurse and immediately sink his teeth into the left arm of a doctor who was trying to restrain him.  As the doctor and parents watched Philip tear his way through the bitten doctor, the bleeding nurse lunged at the window of the treatment room screaming for help, smearing blood on the shatter-proof glass.  “Should we help them?” asked Mrs. Syrafax who was unable to take her eyes off of the horror before her.  “I don’t believe it’s wise for any of us to go inside there right now ma’am” explained the doctor.  The sight was sickening to the crowd that had gathered outside of the treatment room watching unblinkingly at everything that was happening.  No one had ever seen something like this the atmosphere was damp with silence.  Not one person reacted in a way they considered normal as the shock had set in to their brains and bodies.  Everyone was eerily calm considering the chaos in the next room.

Philip had finished clawing and biting his way through the hospital staff left in that room, when he finished destroying them he just sat down in the midst of all of the gore and stared at his parents and doctor.  His eyes were a deep indigo color while his flesh had taken on a very bleached white, almost transparent, to the point where you could see all the veins in his body, a sickly maroon color like a tapestry of death.  As Philip sat there, quietly on the floor he tilted his head much like a dog listing to a far away whistle, staring intently at the outside of the room.  Tears streamed from the eyes of Mrs. Syrafax, as the truth had finally set in.  Her son was no longer alive, not in the sense that she had known it before.  The thing that sat before her and her husband was a creature that no one had ever seen.  She knew deep down that this event would change the world forever.
