In 1986 in Hillsborough, Ohio, a child named Dexter was born under “abnormal” circumstances—and grew into something no one around him could understand.
By 6 he outperformed high school students. By 12 he was placed into advanced university programs. By 18, the academics were done… but the isolation never ended. So Dexter built a basement laboratory not for inventions, but for life itself.
The failures piled up until one night the project finally “responded.” When investigators arrived, the lab was destroyed, the door was sealed, and Dexter was gone—leaving behind only one intact object: his notebook. The final page reads: “red project ed. Failure.” (Fictional casefile/alternate-history horror.)
