(CW! MINOR SUICIDE MENTIONS)
In the near future, the world has been corrupted and ruined to an unrecognisable version of the world you used to know. The world has been corrupted and ruined to a catastrophic level. It all started in 2023 when the issue of Climate Change was getting even more out of control, the government abandoned the issue entirely. The people had tried to fight it as best as they possibly could, but it wasn’t enough. Though on one fateful day of May 30 of 2045, there was a strange flower discovered. It was a gorgeous flower that was a maroon/crimson colour. Its petals were similar to that of a tulip mixed with a lily. Though the strange thing about it was that, it constantly smelled like a rotting corpse. It was named by scientists violencouse infectous or in simpler terms "The Violent Death".
When it was first discovered, no one thought too much of it until…the infection started. When victims were infected, their veins turned crimson red and became visible on their neck and face area. Their eyes bulged out of their sockets and became completely a cloudy grey colour. Their mouths were always wide open as their faces were wrinkled and in a permanent state of agony. They couldn’t speak and were only able to muster a few moans and wails from their constant feeling agony and torture. They resemble the Zombies that you see in movies but they are much different. Instead of the greenish skin that you see in movies, their skin is pale and grey, their bodies have visible malnourishment going on. Along with that, their bodies also display a visible look of decay as they limp around on their weak legs which have little to no muscle. From what has been seen, they do not infect others through biting, instead the plant itself infects the victim and reanimates the corpse.
The scientists who found the plant, mysteriously died due to the government not wanting this to cause a worldwide panic, but they forgot to destroy the plant, allowing it to overgrow along the lab and reanimating the dead bodies of the scientists. The issue went public which caused a worldwide panic and the government went completely radio silent as all of the wealthy and famous celebrities also mysteriously disappeared. Some have speculated that they have been hiding a spacecraft made by NASA to keep them safe from the infection. The common people were left all on their own to deal with an issue that none of them knew how to begin to deal with.
The people were furious at the government and resorted to anarchy. Governmental buildings, churches, and other important places were burned down causing even more panic amongst the common people. The others who were too frightened to live in a world of chaos and destruction, gave in to their fear and ended their own lives. Littering the streets with skeletons and others that hung themselves became nothing more than dangling bodies in the breeze. The hope for the future has left everyone as they try their best to survive in this apocalyptic hellscape.28Please respect copyright.PENANAvSWcH9zbck
