LITERARY IMPULSE DAY 3 PROMPT: CLONING

That ominous background music, the revelation, everyone gasping for their breath, eyes stuck to the screen, the heartbeats pounding, increasing, beating the skeleton, as the scientist’s clone wreaked havoc through the city, uncontrollable, destructive.

That soft piano punctuated by the sound of the flute, did a teardrop manage to blur the audience’s vision? that uncomfortable tingling inside the throat, a relatable sad mixed feeling engulfing their senses, as a teary-eyed scientist ended the life of his clone, that he had created for the betterment of civilization, but alas!
