"Lab Rat" - Full story - (Late) Xmas Gift -Not Final Draft (but close enough)

Here is a (late) XMas gift... A full novel called "Labrat" that clocks in at 187 pages. The summary is that a high school sophomore becomes entangled in a series of increasingly dangerous events not of her choosing. Is there are a rational explanation for what is occurring to her?

** VIOLENCE : Yes, it tends to be graphic but not grotesque. Descriptive might be a better term.
** NUDITY : Yes. Again, descriptive but, hopefully, nothing that crosses the line into pornographic.
** SEX : None.
** OBSCENITIES : Yes. No one swears like a drunken sailor but there are obscenities and there are slurs.
** ADULT THEMES : It would reveal too much to write exactly what they are. However, the story is set in contemporary America and deals with contemporary American topics concerning violence, politics, fringe beliefs & mental health.

If I had to give this an MPAA movie rating, it would be "R" and not a modern-day "R" (which is just a "PG-13" but with more graphic violence) but an old-school "R."

SPOILERS



At some point, a story has to escape or else it just enters an endless cycle of constant adjustments. This story escaped.

Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys it. Happy Holidays.

Are there feats of superhuman strength, speed and invulnerability in this?

This is a great story. Really detailed, thorough, and attacking the central premise from lots of angles. Thoroughly recommended.

Thank you for the kind words. I am glad that you enjoyed the story.

Dayum, that was a fun read.  The only disappointment is the thought this might be the singular instalment.  Thanks for sharing!
