guys please don't read this anymore lmao i write totally differently now💋 _________________ In a future where humans are genetically modified -- 'altered' -- at the age of sixteen, the world has been, until now, a safe place. Without changing a person's personality, undergoing the Alteration perfects their appearance, IQ, and even their immunity to diseases. No human passes the age of sixteen without being Altered. In the blink of an eye, things change. An ominous message is sent out to all of those below the age of sixteen, providing precise instructions that suggest they flee. Simultaneously, a deadly virus starts to spread all about the world, attacking only the Altered -- every human over the age of sixteen. The virus eats at the modified human brain, and soon the Unaltered begin to realise that the Altered are losing their minds. Home is no longer safe. Friends and family turn on one another, losing control of their own minds and bodies. The Unaltered aren't safe. Even if the virus isn't attacking them, the ones with the virus are. Set on a pristine, futuristic Earth, this is the apocalypse like you've never seen it before. (Rated mature for graphic depictions of violence and mild language.)

The Earth is round shape. Oh, yes, indeed; it is quite similar to a perfect sphere. It is nothing but a seemingly tiny celestial body, quiet, suspended in space, rotating, moving fast in a large orbit around a bright, shining star. That lonely star - let's point it out clearly - is hardly a median sun, a body like many others across the vast universe we live in. But for all these things to happen, gravitation has become the key. According to Sir Isaac Newton, every point mass attracts every single other point mass by a force pointing along the line intersecting both points. Therefore, gravity is responsible for the formation of the cosmos itself. Without gravity, the universe would be out of energy and composed only of equally spaced particles. Down here, on Earth, it gives weight to objects and causes the tides. Gravity has an infinite range, and it cannot be absorbed, transformed, or shielded against. It is perennial and ubiquitous. It brings order to what would otherwise be chaos. All in all, it's a well-done job, my friends. Gravity rules it all. In modern times, Almighty Gravity has become God. Standing against these scientific assertions proven right for so long does not seem a wholesome option nowadays; that would definitely sound lunatic, utterly obscurantist, and ridiculous in modern life. But for Professor Hermann Weiss, a Cumbrian senior teacher, an old geologist in his last year at Blessed Sacrament's, that seems not. Though he never ever foreknew that his bold and unexpected behavior might become so dangerous, did he? Where does that eerie earthly force even more powerful than gravity come really from? He never thought it would become suicidal, did he? Who is this murderous Maxwell's demon haunting the modern world for free? And what about yeh, mate? Time to make your decision. Which effing side are yeh on?

My name is Nolan Moore and something special happened to me. Or at least that is what the psychiatrist calls it. I think it was disturbing, too horrific for words. What happened to me was something that keeps me up at night. Sometimes I lay in bed and stare at the ceiling for hours, even days. I get shivers down my spine even writing this down, but I have a feeling that I will be gone soon. So, if you read this, then you get a glimpse of my soul. I pray that before the end of my story I will get forgiveness for everything I have done. Just remember I did this because I thought it was the best thing at the time. Clearly, it wasn't. Time is a thin line floating between what was and what will be. It's flowing through space hoping to reach an end. Normally whenever someone makes a choice, time itself splits and although we don't feel a thing, it still happens, nonetheless. But now something happened that had never happened before. Two new lines that were created flowed alongside each other through the endless void, seeking their old one. They were never supposed to collide, but one strange afternoon everything went wrong. The three timelines hit each other dead on. Three people ended up on an island, three exactly the same people.
