Starve
Luna, a college student who suffered from emetophobia, gradually discovered that the fear that struck her life had become a deadly and contagious mental virus. The whole world now feared vomiting, and people had suddenly become overly obsessed with hygiene, refusing to procreate, avoiding food that seemed unsafe, unable to distinguish fullness from sickness, and were either dying from starvation or fear-driven suicide, leading to massive and dangerous world population decline. The only group of people who could live normal lives is the ones who had the vomit phobia before the pandemic began, and Luna is one of them. Though immune to the deadly mental virus, Luna's lifelong phobia took a different toll, slowly destroying the lives of those around her and putting them at risk, even as she remained untouched.Complete
