The vaccine
I'm not much of a writer, nor whould I claim to to be. This was just omething that popped into my head last night. It is just a prologue to something I'd love to read myself.
Feel free to use this if you feel inspired by this.
And do comment on this, I want to know if I should continue to write of simply drop the matter.
The vaccine
In a distant future mankind was about to become extinct due to several incurable diseases caused by a «miracle vaccine» which where supposed to cure all diseases and birth defects. The vaccine did cure every sickness and birth defect of the time, but the long term side effects was immune system failure and 80% of the population also became infertile and the side effects was inheritable.
After decades of research scientists finally came to a solution to restore the immune system and fertility of mankind. This was done by integrating the DNA from all species on the planet into the human DNA, however there was a side affect. The people remained bipedal and kept the human intellect and size, but the appearance was forever changed to a random animal at birth.
This is how our today's furred, scaled and skinned society was created, and we have thrived ever since.
