In the year 2016 a group of scientists try to find a cure for cancer. But as the experiment expresses the insect the so called cure. 2 hours later the patient sits up and the scientist takes his heart rate. He's shocked...there is none then he looks at the patient. He opens his mouth and takes a chunk out of the scientists neck. He screams in pain and shock. He falls and he lays... Dead. The other scientists press a button that looks the creature to the table. As the walk over, taking no attention to the dead body of their fellow scientist on the floor, the hold open the right eye and shines the flash light in it. It's grey and blank. With the animals mouth still bleeding from the bite he pulls and pushes trying to free himself from his restraints. They hear rustling behind them and they were shock at what they saw. Because what they saw would start an apocalyptic event yet to come.

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?
