WALRI

The year was 1865, Abraham was the president and the civil war seemed to be nearing its end with the Union seeming to be winning. There were rumors of some people being found dead in Greenland, which would have been normal if their deaths weren't that weird. The rumors were that the people found had abnormally large pupils, with rivers of drool coming out of there mouths. Most but not all seemed to have their hearts also explode but the U.S. didn't pay too much attention to that, they had a much more important problem to focus on.

The U.S. looked more into the deaths, once deaths reached people in North Canada and Alaska. The U.S. didn't have much focus on it, the amount of death in the United States Territories weren't that high, and didn't see the point in going to deep into it. It was too late when they began to worry about the deaths, they had reached important U.S. States. People collapsed out of nowhere, dying with the same details to the deaths in Greenland. Everyone world wide was completely baffled to why people were dying, no one showed any symptoms of any known disease, and had never seen any reason to heart explosions or the large pupils. The world began to fear whatever was killing people, airports and seaports began to close, everyone stayed home close to loved ones, and the world was sent into a state of emergency.

With the death tolls raising quickly, scientist all around the world went into maximum overdrive, never leaving work, and desperately attempting to save humanity, until one day, the cause for all of this was found. Cuteness.

Scientist looked back to the most cute animal in Greenland, and research showed that the most cute animal were Walri. A painting of two walri eating a block of cheese was hung in a famous art gallery and was shown in newspapers that were given out in that town. People that saw that painting whether it was in the paper, or in person, would end up dead in the near future. People that traveled Greenland to escape the Civil War in the U.S. kept some of the newspapers as souvenirs which was a cause to why it spreaded in the U.S. and Canadian Countries.

Apparently, the part of a person brain that correlates with cuteness would be sent into overdrive once that photo was seen, and it cause the pupils to dilate extremely. The disease seemed to have mutated and found new ways to spread from person to person without them having to see the original photo at all. The heart explosions occurred in some people only is because they love the photo so much that their hearts exploded. With the population of the Earth around 25% and dropping, scientist worked quickly to null out the part of the brain that correlated with cuteness.

Scientist saw failure in most, if not all of their tests. Everyone either ended up brain dead or just dead dead. Scientist began to give up hope once their fellows scientist seemed to die of the disease. Until the cure was created leaving the Earth's population at 1%. With less than 2000 people left alive on the Earth, they began to kill Walri, leading to mass genocide. Today Walri's cuteness is known to be the worst disease to hit the people of Earth.

Hey guys! You actually read that! Wow uh thanks I guess.

So I think this was a pretty weird story myself. So backstory to this is that my friend and were talking about stuff and somehow got to the topic of Walri. So I know Walri isnt the plural for Walruses or maybe it is, I think its up for you to decide cause my friend and I sort of argued about that too.

But after that somehow Genocide got into the topic and that started to get dark but the reason to why we kill them is because they were killing us with their cuteness, and he sent a gif of Walri eating cheese so into the story that went!

And I was bored so I used that as a prompt to write about.

Yea... Thanks for reading. Later~
