This is short story. And it is a good thing. Because after this one positive the rest gets worst.Although the story itself could be interesting it is generally Resident Evil. Difference is only that the evil power is not Umbrella Corporation but US Army (Area 51). Ohh and mutants mutated not because of virus but genetic manipulations.It is not a fault, the story based on similar concept still could be written in interesting and imaginative way, but unfortunately this one isn't.The narration style is annoying. It is not fluent, often we are presented with images like photographs: one paragraph - one image - someone done something - next paragraph - something totally different. There is no fluent transitions between paragraphs and scenes/images painted by author.First few pages are a mistake. I have no idea what characters were talking about or how it can be connected to the rest of story (probably because the starting conversation was very chaotic and than hunting for something/someone?? and I wasn't able bind it logically together).Characters are not interested. There is plenty of them, neither is described at least a bit more, there is no one that I could sympathize with. Characters are dying every two pages (which probably is natural in such circumstances) but there could be at least one good or bad but someone that I could be interested in his fate. It wouldn't matter if he finally leaves or dies, it wouldn't have to be perfect description of his mind etc.  - just anybody interesting !.I could describe the story like one of Twilight Zone shows - short not connected to anything, not enough to really be interested in anything.If the story be shorten to maybe 15 pages than I would say it is OK (3*). But on 50 pages the story could be much much better. Therefore my 2*.
