Finding File Covid 2020-2035.....

Updating.

Finished.

Open.

The plaque of the 2020s left a devastating effect on the world's population as variant strains came out. Variant Covid 2029 wiped out half the population within a year.  While those that were first immunized had caught the cold and had their skin turn to Grey, their hair white. Everyone started to look like stone carvings walking around.  And within 5 years by year 2034 everyone had turned Grey or died as the skin rotted off the bones. By 2035 we all were stone beings walking around. 

The eyes were the next to go after the 2035 solar burst of the sun. 

2035 the sun, being a soldering ball of flame and fury burned to hot and scientist tried to cold it down.  However sending a vat of chemicals to the sun did not give them the desired effect they looked for. 

When the chemicals hit the sun, the shock created a burst that was sent past the earth. 

Once the burst hit the earth it made the ice caps melt in less than a month. The land not covered in water was so hot the water evaporated leaving people with no water.  It turned the sun so bright that people eyes eventually turned white and lost what colour was left. The sun now a white hot angry ball of energy in space glowed so fiercely it had turned the environment of the earth into turmoil. 

The escalation of global warming kill the earth.

The people in desert areas became feral, the lack of water meant people had to drink other liquid. Once the liquids like soda and liquor had been out resourced people had no option but to start drinking the only liquid left. Blood. 

The blood from animals did not bond with the humans. Thus they moved to testing human blood. 

Prisoners were used as testers for the trials of first cleansing the blood through dialysis and then feed to other set of prisoners.  This was a massive success and blood farms of those in jail became the new livelihood. And the focus of the populace. 

The trials for a fake blood had begun in haste to lessen the struggle of having enough via prisoners. 

The sun blazed so hot people began to go out only at night when there was some relief of light and heat. Their now white eyes suffered from the rays of the sun burning to hot. 

The night was a reprove for them. This added to the pale tone of people, made them look like carvings done by ancient greeks. 

Night life grew to the new normal and blood bars started up to ensure people got the blood they need to be sustained.  As those to weak to go on were drained and deposed of the new evolving species of blood hit new bounds. They could see better in the dark. They became faster, and could move silently. Murders became common as it was too easy to drain right from the source. Via human. The people sought feral ways and groups of hunters formed. Groups of new police formed to take control and others fended for themselves not needing much to survive. If you survived you prospered those others were bred to die.

Eventually the blood farms because private and the price went up forcing those who were just on the brink of surviving now the prey. They were slower, weaker, became hollow in their faces. A statue of their former selves. They were packed up and shipped to blood camps much as the holocaust had done so long ago. Stripped of everything they laid in a pod hooked up and gave blood. Eat. Sleep. Give more. Eat. Sleep. Repeat. The lives of these poor creatures as they were called, were essential as the trials for fake blood were not successful. 

Anyone poor, bad health but no blood diseases and the old were gathered for the farms and those with blood diseases were put down as they said for mercy sake.

Those left to wondering become feral, they gather and stalk. They seek anyone alone. Drain them down and on the street like a sign. A sign that the government does not care for everyone. Not everyone is the same or even equal. It is how the gangs began. Once they took over, there was no stopping something that has nothing to lose. No longer could they think individually but instead as a group mentality. Feed. Feed. Feed.

It is the time of the Vampyre everyone said, and they will kill us all.......

She closed the file as she reached for her heart shaped locket. The ruby red stone reflecting off the screen gave her skin the only colour it has ever seen.

“maybe now we have a shot...”
