A bunch of mad scientists (mad crazy, not mad angry -- though alo of them do semm ro have anger management issues, especailly around me) have been playing around with recombinant life-forms, where they graft different species' DNA together.
Most of their experiments failed horribly, or lived horribly for only a short while. A couple of kinds survived, including us, bird kids, who are mostly human but with some bird DNA thrown in.
The six of us have been together for years. Fang, Iggy, and i are ancient, at fourteen years old. Nudge the motormouth is eleven, Gazzy is eight, Angel is six.
The other ones who function pretty well and last more than a couple of days are human-lupine hybrids, or wolf people. We call them Erasers, and they have an average life span of about six years. The scientists (white-coats) trained them eo hunt and kill, like a personal army. they're strong and bloodthirsty but lousy about impulse control.
The six of us are on the run, trying to thwart the whitecoats' plan to destroy us and most of humanity, which makes whitecoats crazy. Or crazier. So they have been going to extreme and sometimes pathetic lengths to capture us.
So there you have it: our lives in a nutshell.
Emphasis on nut.
