Only one thing can be said now. God had abandoned us. Believe whatever you want. Christian, Hinduism, Judaism, Atheism, whatever. Humanity was left on the brink. Everyone's ideals had left them hopelessly naked under a bridge left to their own vices. Whether science, or some deadbeat thing, or things, in the sky. We were all left barren. Almost 10 millenium ago humanity got the cruel reminder that we were, in fact, human. Weak, pathetic humans. Approximately 97% of the population had regained their sanity and abandoned their gods, but the few 3% had decided that this was, in fact, the apocalypse had come. The faction, the Ephesians, ran to the wilderness so they could be taken up to heaven like the great Babylon. But that day never came. Over the generations people stopped believing in a god. All but this one little group, and that's were out story will truly begin, soon. Unfortunately in this story I'm not the hero. I'm the villain. This is a story of regrets and a hope of redemption. This isn't my story. This is his, Michael's.

The ice deep in the north has melted to reveal a new world hidden under the ice. It holds vegetation and animals that seem unworldly when compared to ours, but hidden in the deepest part of this world is another cave with the oldest surviving strains of an ancient bacteria capable of taking host of dead creatures and reanimating them into beasts worse than before. This strain had grown weak over the ages and was nearly extinct, but the human immune system, never being exposed to this, caused the strain to thrive inside its new unexpecting host and spreads out to the world. It starts small, just a speck on the hands of a few people, but soon, it spreads to door handles, pens, books, chairs, things like that. It continues spreading and now has infected its first corpse, the remains of an ant. This new creature comes and spreads to that ant's nest and then to the animals that eat them. Before less than a month passed, the virus had spread to a graveyard in the hidden grottos of the Yukon. This virus, now able to think from the new minds of fresh bodies, can strategize. In only another week, the epidemic had spread to the northern edge of the United States. Spreading further and further in, people began to notice this strange happening. From people disappearing to entire towns popping out of existence, the bacteria continued to spread. To keep order, the governments had those who disappeared erased from existence, but it wasn't enough. The takeover of those long gone happened in less than three weeks and society collapsed. Spreading overseas, it began its removal of life in Europe, but that's a story for another day. We now come to those few remaining settlements in the collapsed U.S, now called The Crumbled Land. What does this new land hold hidden deep in the remnants of its former glory?
