'The Virus' - A True Pandemic

3

I don't have much time now. 

They know where I am. They are close, I can feel it. 

But that's not what worries me. 

I can feel it happening inside of me. I can feel my cells exploding. I can feel my tissue reacting to the changes occurring within my body. I can sense my organs failing me. 

I won't be me when they find me here. I'll have died. And you don't want to know what will have replaced me... 

I don't remember much anymore because I can feel it feeding off my memories. Whatever it is that is growing inside of me, I can feel it hammering and bashing inside of me aching to be let out. 

I don't have much time...we don't have much time. 

Listen to what I am about to say very, very, very carefully. You might be our only hope out of this mess!

It's time that I told you about what we did in that laboratory in China, what we were experimenting on and what we hoped to achieve...and sadly did. 

Mirror universe! Yes, that is what we were working on. I don't have the time to go into its intricacies and to give you all a lecture on how one understands or opens the gate to a mirror universe, all you need to know right now is that it exists. It always existed, and we weren't the first ones to discover it. 

The door had been opened before. They knew where we stood...they were waiting for us...patiently...calmly...watching us...stalling us...  

 I can't feel my hands anymore. I don't know how long I'll be able to keep this up! Quick! Let me tell you the important parts!  Things that are going to happen no matter how much we don't like it to, call it destiny or call it prophecy, whatever you want to, but no matter how much you try to stop them they are still going to happen: people are going to die, there is nothing we can do about it, nothing you can do about it no matter how much you dislike it. The virus has already infected several and it will go on infecting and jumping from one host to the other until it is satisfied; it won't be satisfied until it has infected and consumed the entire planet. That is how it was engineered and that is the purpose that it has to serve. You see, this virus is not of this world. It wasn't engineered by China or any other government of this world. It wasn't passed on by bats or any other animal. The politicians blame each other saying that it is some sort of a 'conspiracy' to dominate one another, but in truth, they don't know what they're talking about. This is something no one has ever seen before. Why do you think there has been no cure? Why do you think the doctors can't explain what this is? It is because it's not of this world. They brought the virus. It is their way of cleansing. They do it wherever they go. Yes, our world isn't the first world to suffer through these rampages and it certainly will not be the last. Next, the world is going to end...almost. It is going to happen, don't walk around making up situations wherein you can stop the inevitable. The human race has lost. We've lost. There is nothing that will stuff the genie back into the bottle so don't obsess yourself over something that is pre-ordained. 

As I said, the gate was already opened once. They were waiting for us. They knew when it would happen again, they knew how it was going to happen, and they knew who it was going to be. They knew everything because they planned everything. This wasn't a few years back. No, no, no. I'm talking about centuries back, ages back, during the time of the Mayans. 

Yes, the Mayans!

The door was first opened around back then. They walked amongst us. They resided with us. But they never allowed us to see who they really were. All the while they were here they were waiting, preparing and planning...

It's time, I can't tell you more, I'm done. Don't allow my - and the people who are about to die - don't allow their deaths to be in vain. Sadly, there is a small chance of winning, but there is still a chance. 

I'm sorry but this responsibility now befalls onto you. You may not understand why right now but you soon will. There are things in this universe that have been ordained before humanity took its first breath. 

This was already ordained. It was meant to happen, one way or the other. I wish I had the time to explain how and why, but sadly I don't...I feel like I'm fading away bit by bit. I can't go on any longer. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for leaving you like this. You have questions, I know, but you need to find the answers to them on your own now.

Tell the world that I'm sorry...I'm sorry that I failed them...I'm sorry that I brought the end...I'm sorry... 

You have two options now: 

either save yourself...or save those who are meant to be saved.

Somewhere in a place too confidential for the public to even know existed, Chris Pike let out a long remorseful sigh.
