The Rot

An experiment designed to increase the growth of plant life has gone horribly wrong. Mutating out of control and passing to other species, the catalyst begins to affect other forms of organic life, speeding their growth and causing them to age physically at an extreme rate. The human variant results in flesh and organs decaying in months, but the people themselves remain alive, sustained by the aftereffects of the catalyst. As humans and society come apart, it remains to be seen if anywhere will be safe from The Rot.
