Apocalyptic Insanity

ce officers, security forces and aid workers were able to move out and help the injured. Furthermore, mankind is not only dependent on earth to survive as it used to be in the past. There are larger colonies on the Moon and Mars and a space station is currently being built in orbit that could hold up to 100 million people. The hope of surviving and getting help from the military gave people the courage to help and will to go on living.

However, things turned out differently than most expected again. Because with the asteroids something else came into the world. An unknown virus that will bring unprecedented consequences to Earth. This virus infected the dead who died in the first impact. After sometime the believed to be dead people stated moving again, standing up and making unrecognizable noises.

The helpers and police officers, like everyone on site, saw it as a miracle, the dead were returned to them. Who wouldn see it as a miracle?

However, things turned out differently again. When helpers reached the infected, they got attacked in return. Others could not help but put their loved ones in their arms. They were their children, mother, father, friend or loved one. However, in return they got bitten, scratched and attacked by them in the most brutal way without a flash of mercy.

However, it didn stop there, after biting the people, they ate everything they could get their hands on from them and started attacking other human.

All the people on site got into an unbelievable panic. They ran in different directions. Those who landed on the ground were either kicked to death by those running hysterically, or were bitten and eaten by the infected only to get infected themselves.

There were little the soldiers and police could do either, there were simply too few of them and there were too many civilians all in a panic, they didn want to shoot innocent people. But the high command reacted quickly and gave the order to shoot anyone who stood in the way, the infected are to be shot on side, one cannot afford such a virus and its outbreak.

After some hesitation, most soldiers gave up after some of them were attacked by the infected themselves.

They shot anyone who even looked infected since there was no way of knowing if they were infected. These shots only killed more people, while those who were infected only fell down, to get up again after some seconds and continue their pursued and rampage.

The first Defence fell pretty quickly and the number of infected only increased over time. Suddenly they were everywhere, on the streets, in hospitals, at gas stations, basically everywhere where there were a lot of people.

It took a whole day for the news to spread that those infected only really die by destroying their brains. At the time the death toll was estimated at around 5 billion and only time can tell how it will look in the future. Most of those who survived equipped themselves with melee weapons and scavenged as many supplies as possible. In small groups of mostly strangers, they tried to survive this hell on earth.

And so, this day will become the day of the bloody awakening. On this day it rained blood, arms, legs, intestines and brains from the sky.

And with that a new era was dawned, that of madness.
