They said that the end of the world would come from global warming. Wrong. They said God would send an asteroid. Nope. They said that it would be a nuclear apocalypse. It was. But not the one you might expect. WW1 was eight years. WW2 was six years. WW0 was seven days. It only took a week for Gordon Vance, the dictator of America, Lafayette the Third, the dictator of France, Hans Heinrich, dictator of Germany, and Sasha Petrov, the dictator of Russia, to get angry enough to send nuclear-powered super soldiers out to kill each other. Fast forward two years to 2053, where 98% of the human population is dead. Our only hope is a mad scientist that was just captured by raiders and is probably dead, so naturally, that's my plan for today. Life really sucks sometimes.

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.)
