“Be afraid... Be very afraid.” — The Fly (1986)

Write a short story inspired by this quote.

Dr. Neel Arora stared at the holographic display flickering above his workstation.
The molecular sequence spun like a galaxy of blue light — human DNA intertwined with something alien.
He had done it.
He had cracked the code for bio-teleportation.
The project had been government-sanctioned, meant for quick planetary relocation during off-world colonization.
But Neel saw something more profound — a way to rebuild humanity, cell by imperfect cell.
He calibrated the bio-pod, a cylindrical chamber laced with pulsating light, and uploaded his own genome.
The AI’s voice echoed through the chamber:
“Warning. Non-human genetic residue detected.”

He ignored it.

The air thickened and rippled around him. Light shattered, folded, reassembled.

For a heartbeat, Neel saw his reflection dissolve into billions of microscopic filaments.

Then silence.
When he opened his eyes again, the world shimmered.
His veins glowed faintly.
His fingertips vibrated with unsettling energy.
He laughed out of exhilaration — and fear.
Hours passed.
His vision sharpened, but sound warped; whispers crawled along the walls.

The hum of the machines became a frequency that sang inside his skull.
In the mirror beside the telepod, his eyes had changed — split pupils like those of an insect, refracting light in endless spirals.Neel’s research logs grew frantic.
“Fusion complete. Cellular reorganization accelerating.”

Two days later, his skin had become translucent, his skeleton bending to accommodate new tissue. His blood cooled like liquid mercury. He recorded one final entry.
“If you find this tape,”
he whispered hoarsely,
“don’t activate the Chrysalis Code.
The organism I merged with… wasn’t terrestrial. It’s rewriting me—rewriting everything.
”In the abandoned lab, months later, the telepod flickered to life on its own.
From within, something moved. Something half-human. Half-alien. Still learning what it meant to breathe.

And across the static of a corrupted recording, a broken voice whispered again:
“Be afraid... Be very afraid.”
