Test Subject Novels & Stories

Stella said. "Stimulation tests?" "This is a popular test overseas. It's not theoretical but behavioral. A lot of behaviors were a result of the subconscious mind. There are many sections in these tests that stimulate people's unconsciousness. The questions will either trigger a direct reaction in them or require a lot of time for them to answer. All these will test the personality, attitude, and intention of that person. Simply put, it is similar to a drill, but the person who is being tested doesn't know that it is one," Stella explained.

His voice settled in the quiet room, like he was leaving a final opening for the test that had been proposed but not yet decided. "An initial test only needs a small dose. If the body shows rejection, heart rate will accelerate, temperature will rise, but it won't be immediately fatal. If there's no severe reaction within five minutes, it's a preliminary pass." He closed the box and set it on the table. "You can decide now, or tomorrow. But your line won't wait."

I stared at the test as though looking at it long enough would somehow change the result. It didn’t. “No… this can’t be happening.” My voice sounded distant. Unfamiliar. I shook my head and placed the test back on the counter. Then I stepped away. “This is wrong.” I laughed again, but there was no humor in it. “The test is wrong.” That had to be it. A defective test. Expired,damaged,anything. I grabbed the box and searched for the expiration date. It wasn’t expired. Of course it wasn’t. I checked again.

As one of the country's top high school teachers, I have helped countless students get into the best colleges. But I somehow find myself reborn as a poor kid from the countryside while attending a ceremony honoring my achievements. A mysterious voice echoes in my mind. "If you fail to get into college, you'll die!" How hard can that be? It's just getting into college. That's hardly a challenge for a genius like me. But soon I realize that getting into college isn't really about how smart you are. In the end, it all comes down to people and their motives.

Sylvester handed us each an empty sheet. “A test…. We didn't prepare for this." A guy yelled from the back seat. “Oh well… It's just to show if you've learned everything needed before we get into the main deal." He clapped twice and pointed to the screen. The questions appeared on it and a timer did. 1 hour. Great!! A fucking test after orientation, I mumbled mentally. The questions were something Mr. James had taught me, luckily. Bonds and stuff, easy peasy. Except I couldn't answer the last 5 on electrolytes/electrolysis.

His shoulders sag in relief and he comes forward to ruffle my hair. Lumina visibly stiffens in her spot her eyes enlarging as she peeks up at me first and then at Cronus. "What is it? What is wrong?" He too tenses up to her reactions and takes a glimpse at the tests glowering down at them endeavouring to understand how they work just I like did inside the bathroom earning a playful giggle from me in return. "Theia, do you not know how to read these tests?" "I mean it is simple, it showed a straight line which is a negative sign yes?"

Then she beckoned at Alex "Alex, come over here." "Yes, master?" The other party responded right away the moment he realized that Shantal was calling him. "I am going to test your cognitive and problem-solving skills through just one task." Shantal announced without tearing her eyes away from her notes as she was busy jotting down her rubrics there. "Since I haven't got a chance to test you out last day, I will do it today instead." She added then slid the box closer to Alex. "Inside this box is an egg which I want you to smash."

Carter said with seriousness in his blue gaze. Patty shook her head violently. “It’s not pink. It’s rose. Rose is not a clear yes or no.” Patty dropped the test back on the table. “Patty,” Andy said as he stared at one of the test. She ignored him and grabbed a blue and white stick with desperation. She didn’t know cooking bacon could stink so badly. “What does that one do?” Jesse asked. “This one is a plus or minus test. If it’s a plus, I am. If it’s a minus, I am not,” she said breathlessly.
