The year 2750 marked the arrival of the fortune humanity so desperately craved. Our species stood on the brink of extinction, succumbing to diseases that our bodies could no longer combat.We were slowly withering, burdened by sicknesses far beyond our ability to cure.Reproduction, once a natural gift, was now an impossible dream.
New plagues emerged--viruses of unparalleled ferocity-- and with them,diseases that crippled our immune systems, rendering us defenseless.The world was unprepared for such a swift and merciless onslaught.
But salvation came in the form of a groundbreaking discovery, led by the world's foremost health organization, the EvoCure Solutions.They devised a miraculous vaccine, capable of eradicating the deadliest of these threats- tuberculosis, malarya, flu even cancer.All it took was a simple injection, and the terrors of illness could be swept away.
At first,it seemed as if life had returned to its former rhythm.People once again enjoyed long, healthy lives, free from the shadow of disease.Yet, something was amiss.Despite this newfound health, the ability to procreate remained elusive.Children became a rarity, and only a fortunate few were able to conceive, followed by tragedy not long after, reminding us of the harsh reality.
Faced with this new challenge, we devoted ourselves to nurturing those precious children, providing them with every possible advantage-vaccines, nutrition, and care- in the hopes that they might one day restore the future of humankind.
I was one of the caretakers, tending to them as if they were the last fragile seeds of our kind.Probably it was.
I administered the vaccine, the very one I helped create. I injected it into men, women and children alike. But there was a secret I carried--one that haunted me.I never truly understood what was inside that vaccine.My father, the head of the company that developed it, was always vague. Whenever I pressed for answers, he would simply smile and say, "It's a gift from God". I found it ironic since he never believed in one.
In time, people lost faith in religion, so we told them it was science.I thought myself it was science! No one questioned it, as long as it worked.I didn't question it either-- until that fateful day.
My name is Chloera Quinn.I am 28 years old, and I have a story to tell you, a story that changed the course of humanity forever.
