Apocalypse (boyxboy)

Pj's P.O.V:

Hey I'm pj, yeah laugh it up , I'm aware of my stupid nickname. But I prefer it over teddy, clearly my mothers ability to name me is not as up to standard as I would wish.

But at least I remember my name.

I take it your a bit confused so let me bring you up to speed. It's currently 2034 and the world ended three years ago.

Three, long, years.

It's quite an ironic story as well, you always hear that humanity's weakness is itself, but people usually mean economics or war . No . We literally designed our own extinction.

Well, not 'literally' but you'll see what I mean.

In 2031 an epidemic began, it was called w.a.v.e.s. it was mostly found in city's or town near the coast and symptoms were paralysis and swelling of the throat. It took the world by storm and in two months over 0.5% of the population was declared dead.

Scientists soon found out the disease originated from fish like salmon, squid or sharks and after a long debate they created a man made disease to wipe out all aquatic life. As expected the dead fish washed up on the shore , but things took a dark turn.

Flies and rodents were eating the fish and it wasn't long before the man made disease mutated. It was able to spread to mammals and animals through body liquids such as saliva, urine, and- well I'd rather not say.

Anyone who was infected had the same symptoms, paralysis and throat swelling. Give it three days after getting infected and you were dead.

This is where things got nasty, people were waking up in a state of pure rage, in better words , feral.

People were horrified to discover that these people began to feast and those who where not infected, or 'rotting ' the living.

By 2032 45% of the population was rotten and our global infrastructure had collapsed.

It was the beginning of the apocalypse.

Combat boots kick at gravel and steel grey eyes watch in boredom as it goes flying.

I continue to wonder aimlessly down the street as the sun begins to set. A golden glow is casted over mossy houses and light reflects of the dust in the air.

I sigh in anger, I knew it was a bust, living tend to stay away from crowed villages like this as it's harder to clear of rotters. I should of already knew, but know I'm to late and my monthly hunger is starting to creep up on me.

I wonder, is this what women feel like every month.

Speaking of the devil , my stomach begins to rumble. I mutter under my breath and begrudgingly continue walking. I readjust my backpack strap so its resting more comfortably on my shoulders and zip up my black trench coat.

As I walk my mind begins to wander . Why me? I don't get it?

If your confused let me explain, it was a couple of months after the end was declared and in all honesty, I was scared shitless. I guess the pricks I was with also picked up on that and surprise , surprise - I was the one who went on resource hunting all the time.
