"What in the actual fuck?" - Daniel Speltz
On the evening of April 23rd, 2013, a once in a lifetime phenomenon was just hours away from taking place. A meteor shower expected to be the brightest and most glorious of the century was abuzz in the news and across the Internet all around the world. Nearing 11:00 PM, families gathered outside of their homes, big cities dimmed their lights and millions of people looked towards the sky in hopes to see the dazzling meteor shower rumored to be so epic that the stars themselves would be envious.
All went on as planned and the night was alight with the vision of hundreds upon hundreds of meteors flashing across the sky as the falling rocks burnt against the atmosphere. Just one of the hundreds managed to penetrate, and down it crashed into the small town of Lost Springs, Wyoming.
Shortly after the impact, the U.S. Military quarantined the area, with rumours of a deadly flu that had overtaken the poor citizens of Lost Springs. Several news crews and liberals protested just beyond the quarantine line, and it seemed the world harassed the Military and the Government for their decision.
Several months later the U.S. Government released footage to the media of several individuals from Lost Springs leaving the quarantine with gleaming, smiling faces. When confronted by the media the citizens said nothing, and seemed to disappear shortly afterwards.
The Government never discussed the goings on of the situation in Lost Springs and said little after they deemed the area free of contamination a year and half later.
June 23rd, 2015, an anomaly has occurred. A second meteor shower was headed for Earth, rumoured to be as bright as the first. So once again people gathered to watch the amazing spectacle. The meteor shower was dazzling once more, hundreds upon hundreds of blazing streams in the sky… That is, until hundreds of the meteors started falling from the sky. They landed all across the world, some finding nothing more than oceans while others crashed into the buildings of Bristol, New York, Jalisco, Bosnia, Norway, and Beijing. It seemed that every country had one of the strange meteors on their soil.
Weeks later, odd things started happening in Mexico. Thousands of news reports leaked across the world about a deadly virus that was quickly spanning across the entire country. This was a virus that infected not only the living, but also the recently deceased. When afflicting a live subject the virus seemed to take 15 hours to reach its full potency; when this happens the subject will slowly lose their memory, acting only on pure instinct. With recently dead subjects the virus is reported to take less than 5 hours to overwhelm the body and reanimate the corpse. All were advised to flee from the infected due to their cannibalistic tendencies.
The United States and Canada had little time to prepare for the sudden outbreak. By combining their forces, they were able to keep the Infected at bay for a grand total of 42 hours before they breached the Texas border; shortly after they broke through to Arizona. Widespread panic swept through the States and Canada, millions of people rushing to leave the country. Some succeeded, but most failed before the airports and boats were overwhelmed. After the Government gave orders to shut down the airports and docks, abandoning their country for safety, people began revolting against the U.S. forces that were still stationed in the States to help fend off the infected. Shortly after the initial panic, the Western states that had yet to be afflicted banded together to secure their cities and towns - some succeeded, but not all.
Just as it had been in Mexico, it was only a matter of weeks before the Western half of the United States was overwhelmed and, shortly after that, the Eastern states were taken. The epidemic spread so quickly that it overwhelmed the country - despite supreme efforts to contain the virus. The people of the United States and Canada called out to the world, pleading for their aid, but it was too late. Mexico had only been the beginning…
All across the world, word of the epidemic spread. North America, South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia - all had reports of infection quickly spreading and wiping out populations, thousands at a time. So it became a struggle for survival - us versus the infected. How long can we last?
