The earthquake started it all. Cities in ruins and a mixture of confusion and terror sweeping through the nation. Chaos doesn't even begin to describe what out continent has become. The seas pouring into the area where our land was splitting and the screams as buildings collapsed. This was five years ago. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After the split, our nation drifted farther and farther away from the land we were once attached to. Our newly formed government wiped memories of the event to escape the trauma we were all put through. They inserted a chip inside our heads that they claim is a way to help us. They think no one remembers that day and no one knows that the people they think are keeping them safe are keeping secrets from them. Well they're wrong. I do.

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?
