Not black & white

"The DNA in the blood is leaving readings we can't decipher. Its molecular structure is a reflection of ours, yet it performs cellular lysis like a malignant cancer. We're still trying to identify how exactly it does this. Our next step is analyzing the mRNA, structures responsible for carrying genetic information copied from the DNA in the form of a series of three-base code words. Does the ocean transfer genetic material? Or is that process destroyed, along with anything it touches? This could be the answer to finding where it all came from. "The most harrowing discovery lies in the fact the blood not only destroys but mutates whatever it comes into contact with. Is 'mutate' the right word? It could be called a metamorphosis. Cells take on a new function, as if their fluidity is returned to them. Function is similar to [??]tipotent stem cells, which have the ability to form into all kinds of cells in the human body: skin, muscle, bone, extraembryonic or placental. Does the blood rid cells of their purpose? Wiped anew? Are cells reborn through the blood? My skin is no longer skin, but as sensitive as raw, vulnerable nerves. My lungs don't breathe for me anymore. Something else does. Heavy in my chest. Am I human anymore?"

do you ever think about how Renfield was able to pluck the Count from thin air, as mist, and hold him so tightly that he was forced to take physical form to get free again and that Renfield was able to do so simply because he believed that he could, wanted to badly enough and what if October wasn't the first time because I think about that...
