## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A salt-scorched island, autumn. The hum of a single microscope.

Researchers splice intelligence into human tissue. Volunteer after volunteer thrives—until their eyes turn black, their bodies twist into a second spine.

By winter, Cuttyhunk’s shore lies littered with half-remembered men.

A Cronenbergian body-horror parable—too accurate to flinch.

**Mood tags**: body-horror, dread, slow-burn
