We All Fall Down

[LIVE EDITING. Pardon the unfinished and contradicting paragraphs]

On March 14, 2032, an extraterrestrial prion, Olelukye-3 (OLK3), infected millions around the world.Those afflicted fell into irreversible paralysis, and no carrier survived. Leadership and militia were scarce, and so anarchy ensued. The world, and humankind itself, was more divided than ever in history. As men begat men, and like an illicit lover, the virus came crawling back, as it was not done with humankind just yet. Once lethal to the living, it evolved to frolic within its dead victims, furcating into diverse pathogens that grant its undead host very specific mutations. Mankind united once again for an inexorable cause; a common enemy, or rather, five enemies. Five viruses, five races, five legions.

Tessa, struggling to keep food on the table amongst a hundred others in a remote survivor colony, is left alone to raise her younger brother Cal, all the while trying her best to stay afloat and forget a macabre past. But as change is tentative as the wind, their meek and pacific lives turn for the worse, falling dead center into the discord.

As the United Human Army, the Presbyters, the Hexenhammers, and the Four Kings skirmish with Earth as trophy and throne, Tessa fights to preserve her humanity as she races to save the one she loves the most in a World War only predicted to be the end of the human race;
the Virus War.
