My short stories are about the scientists and crazy people who fall victim to new technologies, specifically, Genetic Engineering. In this story the protagonist, Elmer, a fourteen year-old boy abuses his grandfathers CRISPER-Cas9, a genetic engineering tool box so simple to use a graduate student in microbiology could unleash a Genecaust (shameless plug for an upcoming novel.)

The CRISPER-Cas9 in the story is real. Google slap it and review the YouTubes. Model 12 is fiction, but If you don't believe this could happen, keep an eye on eBay.

I hope you enjoy the story. I only write about what I fear.
