Contemporary chemistry is attacking this problem from three angles: The polymer was not satisfied with the dead

Modern polymer synthesis is defined by techniques that allow for unprecedented control over molecular weight, architecture, and composition.

Contemporary… polymer… chemistry.

He looked at his own reflection in the black eyes of the rat-thing. His pupils were already starting to dilate, the brown of his irises bleeding into a deep, endless amber.
