Year 2025
8 am
The beginning of the end.
I’m alone in a world full of nothing. One year back, the world still had life in it, and every living soul survived every single day, making a living.

“Doctor, Vile, thank you for joining us tonight,” “No, problem at all,” “You must be enthusiastic about the world-wide antidote you created to treat so many patients, tell us about this antidote,”
“When I discovered my son was sick, I knew what needed to be done… this antidote cures the brain, now I know I cured a lot of patients and most them are showing promise within the first few days, the severe patients take a few days longer to react to the antidote,”
“Tell me, Doctor, Viles, do you think this antidote solves their problems? The cure for whatever caused them to react this way?”
“I am certain this is the cure, yes, I believe that when the brain signals a positive thought, the patients will react differently to life events, although few of them reacted out of anger, some of them responded out of shock, some were frightened, but there’s no telling in what the symptoms might be in time, we’ve only been at this for a few weeks, and so far, I see excessive achievement,”

“What do you think will happen if the subjects showed negative side effects?”
“Well, high blood pressure would consume the body and then head and heart failures would likely follow, but as we know the body generates cells to fight the sickness, but our subjects are way past that point and once pain injuries take control, they will probably die of shock,”
His sigh spread across the room, “Well, we have tested our serum and they seem to function well with this new medication, but I have notice subject 10 is not doing so well,”
My hide leaves the wooden chair, “What do you mean? Last night he was still fine. He said he has a lot of pain in his head and I gave him some medication,”
My focus remains on him, I was sure that he was fine, “Well, we should check up on him again, I did a routine check this morning and found subject five and eight unpleasant,”
I snatch my information black book off the table and heel Doctor Shaman, “Why was I not informed? Those two are my subjects. It severely injured them from the accident they both endured, they needed special treatments, Doctor Shaman,”
Our brisk walking echoes throughout the hall. If something should happen, we’ll lose everything, “I should have informed you, Doctor Vile, forgive me, it must have slipped my mind,”
Our movement stops, “Slipped your mind? We cannot make such mistakes Shaman, these subjects depend on us to help them, I understand not we cannot cure everyone, but forgetting to inform me can cost everything,”
Guilt breaks through on his expression, “I can assure you this will not happen again,” “Let’s hope so,” We follow the white tiles carefully, inspecting each room.
“Wait, subject five…” The bulletproof glass shutters, “What is wrong with him? Why is he acting like this? Shamon, are you seeing this?”
“What is that red substance in the corner?” “I-I don’t know, Shaman,” The guard bangs against the window, screaming at the patient acting like a complete lunatic.
The glass vibrates again, his saliva splashes against the window along with his soft growls, “Oh, no, what have we done?”
“Wait… subject eight,” We boot toward the room… “This cannot be happening, Shaman, what have we caused? It meant this to cure them… help them, but…”
He pulls me backward, “C-changed them into… what are they?” “I’m unsure, Shaman,”
“Vile, we’re facing a problem... this fresh change is not what we have recorded if these subjects do not show some change soon,”
I wave my fingers around, “Yes, yes, I know, Shamon, this is not good, we are facing our worst fears, it looks like the body is collapsing but kept alive, by perhaps, part of the brain? If you notice her violence, Shaman, directly toward us,”
“Yes, yes, I see… it is like she seeks us, but why is the question, why would she seek us? Her skin is awfully pale, almost like a greyish pale, but apart from the failing of her body, she looks angry,”
I examine her closely, inspecting every inch of her, “Yes, she’s frightening but see the dark circles around her eyes? Perhaps the hanging of her skin? Her body is failing her but still she remains alive,”
“Vile, what was the full report of the failed functions?” “High blood pressure, heart and head failures, lock of iron, lost of blood, skin failures, I am unsure Shaman, these two subjects seem to fit the description, but now I do not know anymore, they are alive, how in the world can one be alive if all the organs fail?”
He pins his view on the female before us, “Do you think they seek human flesh? Perhaps blood? The brain functions on the body and without the brain, there cannot possibly be life, but they seem to function well without the brain,”
“That is impossible, Shaman. Could part of them still be holding on? Wait... do you see that? The same red substance?” He peers closely, “Yes, yes, I see it… what is that? Oh, gosh, Vile, do you perhaps think they feasted on the filthy animals?”
I shift my weight to the side, peering past her vile look, although her distraction is all I can see… “It could be… Shaman, we need to file this, and then gas the room to see how she functions with the new medication,”
“Vile, if we lure this on, she may become worst, we need to destroy them,” “Destroy them? Do you realize what this means? We have to kill them all, Shaman,”
“We have no choice, Vile, if these subjects’ escapes, we will cause millions, we cannot afford such disaster,”
“Yes, yes, I realize that…”

Ethan POV
“Sir, we need to leave. Something e-exploded, the reports of the subjects burst through, somehow they escaped,” Our hides shift backward, “s**t, they must have released the gas, this isn’t good,”
I peek at him whilst helping him off the ground, “Come on, we need to get you to safety, if they break through… s**t, Sir, run,” Green gas surrounds us instantly along with sounds of growling slamming through the window.
“No fuc-ing way are we dying here, come on, Sir, move,” “What the fuc- is going on?” Our bodies slam against the icy tiles, “s**t… what the fuc-,” The general shot, “Not on my watch Ethan, lift your ass,”
I slide into a room along with the general, he slams the door shut, I peer at him sliding against the wall, “Hold on, Ethan, you’re getting out of here,” I pant shifting my hide against the wall, “We’re both getting out of h-here general, no man gets left b-behind,”

Every living creature and human died in the year 2024.
They evacuated the cities, but the gas spread faster than they could be safe, hordes of animals released, chemicals on plants reacted along with the gas, causing a growth in plants and mutations in animals.
Dealing with humans going crazy, turning into life’s worst nightmare, oh and let’s not forget the mutated animals, mutated mother nature, mutated every-fuc-ing-thing.
Everything in this world grows larger every second. Who can stop mother nature from mutating and destroying everything build around it?
As for the mutated beings on Earth, nothing can stop their population from growing… and the facility that started this went down first, for being morons.
Our world faces its consequences and because of them, we live in hiding; we live in fear of tomorrow.
We can never be free and today I face a war I never thought I would.
They prepared a war no one for, and I have no choice as to fight my fuc-ing way through.
I will win this war and not back down.
No matter what…
