Evil Pig Short Story 2025 Version

In the year 2041, in the city of Cleveland, Ohio, a scientist named Professor Walter Loue who is a lonely, single, scrawny, nerdy man who never had time for a wife or family, but not just because of his looks, but also because of his obsession to cure dwarfism because his own little brother is a little person. He is currently working on a cure for dwarfism which is being funded by his family’s pharmaceutical company named Louse & Stewart. His older sister Holly Louse is the current CEO of Louse & Stewart, and she’s continuing Louse & Stewart reign of being one of the largest pharmaceutical corporations in the world that always outsmarts their corporate rivals at every turn. Holly may look like a beautiful thin, blonde, stereotypical supermodel on the outside, yet underneath her beauty, she has a cruel, greedy, sinister heart like her cruel father and mentor who was the CEO before her. Even though the company he works for bares his last name, Professor Walter doesn’t care about the money, nor does he have access to his family’s vast fortune. He only cares about helping the world get healthier and making it a better place for all. Because of climate change, nearly half of the planet is now nothing, but enormously hot deserts and water is the currency that would make someone who had a large supply of water both a trillionaire and powerful. He works night and day in his air-conditioned laboratory as he just continues working on his research to make the cure for dwarfism a reality. He’s currently testing his cure on animals, but he did it for science and mankind, even though deep down he thinks that animal testing overall is cruel along with the fact that due to the current state of planet Earth, nearly every animal species went extinct. The only animals that currently remain are dogs, cats, rats, bugs, snakes, cows, chickens, and of course pigs. 

But the only problem with Professor Walter Loue’s cure for Dwarfism is that only one animal could be used to test it. For some reason pigs were a perfect candidate for testing. But Walter Loue needed to find the right pig both for the purposes of his research and in price because pork is also a very rare commodity. After doing his homework and watching the local news, Professor Walter Loue drove to the farm which was covered in the local TV news piece, which is in what remains of the beautiful farmlands in the state of Ohio that hasn’t been devastated by climate change. Using company funds, he bought himself the chosen pig to receive his cure from a farmer who, for some mysterious reason, was dying to get rid of him. The pig Walter bought was the runt of the litter and he knew this pig, who happened to be the world’s smallest pig according to the record books, would be the perfect candidate to test his cure for dwarfism on. 

Two days later, Professor Walter Loue with the aid of his lab assistants who helped the little pig stay still would eventually inject the cure for dwarfism into the small, cute runt pig, which Professor Walter had named Andre after his beloved uncle, and after Andre was given the cure, he slowly began to grow. Suddenly day by day Andre began to grow larger and larger. Professor Walter Loue’s cure seemed to be a success as Andre eventually grew over 10 feet tall and weighing a staggering 851 pounds. Yet, before Professor Walter could share his cure for dwarfism with his sister and start to begin human trials, Andre not only wouldn’t stop growing, but his brain began to become criminally insane. Andre was slowly growing into a giant monster which Professor Walter’s lab assistants nicknamed “Evil Pig”. Eventually, three months after Professor Walter bought Andre a.k.a. Evil Pig and given him the wonder cure, Evil Pig had escaped from his lab and went on a rampage throughout the entire city of Cleveland. Evil Pig just started to destroy everything in the city, every building, every skyscraper, and even ate the people who lived there because of his now large appetite. The United States military with all their advanced weaponry had failed to take down Evil Pig since his skin became stronger than steel, thanks to the cure he was injected with. As Evil Pig continued destroying the city, Professor Walter Loue and his sister Holly went to visit their little brother. Professor Walter’s Loue’s little brother was a mafia boss named Big Tony who runs the biggest criminal empire in all of Cleveland. Big Tony was the reason why Professor Walter wanted to create the cure in the first place because he wanted cure his brother. Professor Walter and Holly fearfully talked to their little brother and offered to give him the cure for dwarfism, only if he would go out and slay Evil Pig. Big Tony responded without hesitation and said, “Brother, I would do anything not to be a midget anymore. Please give me the cure and I’ll get rid of that pig for ya,”. “Thank you, Tony. But this is a last resort, and you also are the only other perfect candidate for the cure because it was made for you,” said Walter. 

Soon Walter injected the cure into Big Tony and like Andre before him, it only took a few days for his brother begin to grow into a giant as Big Tony not only lived up to his name, but slowly mutated into a gruesome green skinned reptilian giant. After Big Tony’s transformation was complete, he headed over to confront Evil Pig as a long battle would begin between the two. As Big Tony and Evil Pig’s battle raged on for six weeks, the outcome wasn’t what was expected. Big Tony and Evil Pig both unexpectedly died from a heart attack during their battle. With the city of Cleveland now in ruins, the U.S. government began an investigation into Louse & Stewart. After the investigation was finished, both Holly and Professor Walter were sentenced to life in prison with possibility of parole for their part in the destruction of the city of Cleveland and because the U.S. government discovered during the investigation that the Louse & Stewart Corporation had committed tax fraud under Holly’s leadership. 

With little funding from FEMA because in the current U.S. economy, the U.S. government is near bankrupt, it seemed like the city of Cleveland would be gone forever. Luckily the city of Cleveland would find a way to get funding to rebuild their city from the Louse & Stewart Corporation, because the judge ordered both the Louse & Stewart Corporation and the Louse family to pay for all the repairs to fix the city Cleveland. Within only four months, the city of Cleveland was successfully rebuilt into a city of the future. Because of the huge fee in the rebuilding of the city of Cleveland, both the Louse & Stewart Corporation and the Louse family had been forced to file for bankruptcy within a day after the city of Cleveland’s grand reopening. All of Louse & Stewart’s assets were sold to their business rivals as they gleefully absorbed parts of Louse & Stewart which led to the end of their Louse & Stewart’s monopoly in the pharmaceutical market. Not only would Holly and Professor Walter spend the rest of their lives in prison, but after the bankruptcies, the Louse family fortune dried up after the company that their very great grandfather founded decades ago was no more. Now penny less and prisoners, Holly and Professor Walter’s lives were turned upside down as they both had to adjust to their new lifestyles. As for the rest of the Louse family along with their extended family members, they would all become homeless overnight and remain in poverty until the end of time. Sometime after he was sent to prison, Professor Walter later discovered that Andre’s corpse and his brother Big Tony’s corpse were collected by the U.S. government after their battle destroyed the city of Cleveland before it was rebuilt into advanced technological utopia. Professor Walter was offered a lighter prison sentence if he would aid the U.S. government into their research to cure dwarfism, but he shockingly refused their offer. As of now Professor Walter wanted nothing to do with trying to cure dwarfism anymore after the death of his brother and the death of his beloved pet pig Andre because his passion was gone, thus he remains in prison for the rest of his life. Or will he? Three years later, as Professor Walter and his sister Holly were mopping up their prison’s floors with other inmates, a lone, older, gruff, male prison guard walked in and tapped Professor Walter on the shoulder. “Walter Louse,” shouted the older male prison guard. “Actually, it’s Professor Walter Louse and..,” said Professor Walter. The older male prison guard hit Professor Walter beside the head with his nightstick and yelled, “Shut up smart ass and listen. Because of your good behavior the parole board wanted me to inform you that you’re now on parole. Now let me escort you out of here as you are now a free man, unless you screw up or miss your any parole officer’s meetings, you will end up back here. Do you understand that maggot or do I need to beat it into you?”. Professor Walter gulped and asked, “Yes, I understand the rules of parole. But before you escort me out of here, may I say a quick farewell to my sister?’. “Proceed, but keep it short,” cried the older male prison guard. Professor Walter cleared his throat and gave his sister Holly a huge hug. The hug wouldn’t last for long as Holly pushed him to the ground. As Professor Walter got up off the ground and started to dust himself off, he gave an apology to his sister Holly for ruining their father’s legacy and his hand in causing their family’s vast fortune to disappear because of his failed cure for dwarfism. After Professor Walter’s apology, Holly only responded to his apology with two horrible words, fuck off. Hours later, Professor Walter was a free man once more as he is now under parole. Currently living in a halfway house, Walter, no longer a professor after his degree was revoked by his university because of his crimes, just slept in his room alone all day because of his depression becoming worse every day. Walter struggled to readjust to his life on the outside and struggle to find work. Happily, Walter would find job as a farmhand and now he helps with the pig farming. Raising pigs until they are ready for slaughter. One day while Walter was working in the farm, which is in fact the farm where he bought Andre, his boss walked up to him and pointed to the biggest pig in the pig shelter. “Walter, I never told you this when you were hired, but that big pig over there is the son of Evil Pig. We learned Evil Pig matted with a pig named Besty before you bought him. Funny enough, that pig is named Walter after you. Pretty funny the son of that runt turned out to be giant of a pig himself. And through no drugs either,” said Walter’s boss. Walter now stunned after learning his pet Andre had a son speedily shouted out loud, “Genetics,” yelled Walter. “Boy what the Hell were you talking about?” asked Walter’s boss. “How old was Andre when I bought him?” asked Walter. “What you mean Evil Pig? Why does that matter?” asked Walter’s boss. “Because depending on Andre’s age, he may have not been a runt at all,” cried Walter. Walter’s boss sighed and placed his arm over Walter’s shoulder. “Walter, since you are figuring out on your own, it’s time that I told you the truth about Evil Pig. He was never the runt of the litter. In fact, Evil Pig was just a baby. Because pigs can mature faster than humans, like all pigs, Evil Pig reached sexual maturity only within a few months days before you bought him. And a little after you bought Evil Pig, we learned that Betsy was pregnant with Walter, I meant the pig Walter and not yourself by the way,” said Walter’s boss. Walter taken aback by this information swiftly fell to his knees. “So, in the end, Andre didn’t need my cure at all. It was all a lie. Why? Why did you lie to me and the news about Andre?” cried Walter. Walter’s boss sighed and helped Walter up as he explained the truth. Walter’s boss said he lied about Andre’s size as a publicity stunt to save his farm from going out of business. By claiming that Andre was the world’s smallest pig and along with getting Andre in the record books for this false claim, people all over the country flocked to come to his farm to see the world’s smallest pig. Due to that lie, not only would he make a profit from tourism dollars, but demand in his product grew too. After discovering the truth from his boss and Andre’s former owner, he rose up from the ground and shouted, “Why did you sell your cash cow to me then?”. “Because you were trying to cure dwarfism and if your cure worked, which it did in a way, it would of course give more publicity for my farm. Sadly, it was all about the Benjamin’s in the end. If I hadn’t sold you Evil Pig, my farm would have gone out of business within a week. Plus, like his name, I noticed early on Evil Pig, or as you called him Andre, was evil. Andre was a wild animal in the end. Andre was untrainable. Sorry about all of this, Walter,” said Walter’s boss. “No, I’m sorry,” cried Walter. Out of nowhere, Walter punched his boss in the face and began to beat him nearly to death before the other farmhands intervened. After beating his boss to a bloody pulp, not only was Walter fired that day, but he ended up losing his parole and was sent back to prison. Walter reminded in prison for the rest of his life, and he would eventually pass away at the age of 106. He lived to be the age 106 because of improvements in medicine, everyone has a long lifespan than usual. Walter died before he learned that his science would end up leading to the demise of all of planet Earth. Because the U.S. government was just as corrupt and greedy, they studied Andre and Big Tony’s corpuses, not to continue researching a cure for dwarfism. No, the U.S. government through the military wanted to make more giant Evil Pigs to aid in future warfare. They wanted an army of super soldiers, and it was just cheaper for the military to make super pigs instead of super people. Not that surprising in the end, after this army of pig super soldiers were created, it would lead to end of all mankind. Humans were no longer the dominant species on Earth as they were dethroned by these super pigs. Thus centuries after the extinction of the human due to the super pigs, the descendants of these super pigs not only grew stronger, they grew smarter as well. As the descendants of the super pigs’ intelligence grew over centuries, pigs replaced humans and created a similar society to humans. Pigs took over the cities left behind by humans and pigs lived lives like humans. These super intelligent pigs had jobs, families, religion, technology, government, media, and of course, science. Oddly enough, a descendant of Andre currently works as a scientist as he works to resurrect humans long after their extinction. 

This lone scientist pig, with funding from his government, attempted to resurrect humans by cloning them. This experiment was successful, and the first human cloned came from a surprising source. The first human ever cloned by pigs was done so using Walter Louse’s DNA after the pigs discovered his grave. Walter Louse is back, or at least a clone of him is back, and now that pigs have successfully cloned a human, will it lead to their demise or do these pigs no better? When you think about it, are they no better than us? Because pig scientists like human scientists centuries ago do experiments which they feel would help their world, but usually it leads to something worse. Because we’re all animals in the end with flaws and so any outcome is likely. No one can predict the future, we can live in the present, but we usually ignore the past which effects both the present and future. Sadly, by ignoring the past, those who don’t learn from history, are doomed to repeat it.
