Endings: Dystopian Post Apocalyptic Zombie Thriller (Parables From the Apocalypse book 1)
“Canada, Mexico and Central America were lumped into the mix once international quarantine laws took effect. It made for some interesting global politics these days. Pundits had been calling for the fall of the American empire since early in the 21st century. Most assumed that it would come in the form of economic collapse brought on by greedy industrialists, or cyber-attacks from third-world computer hackers. Nobody had predicted this. How could they? Even to this day, there was still... disagreement as to what had brought the freaks about. Generally, scientists were in agreement that it was a genetic mutation. A mutation brought about from decades of messing with the food chain and creating everything from bio-engineered dwarf wheat to cows full of growth hormones. Changing the food supply faster than people's bodies could adapt finally forced Mother Nature's hand. She finally decided to fight back. It started with the cancer and obesity epidemics. When that didn't stop humans in their tracks, she got really serious, and created wave after wave of mutated freaks. Where the scientists disagreed was in how to stop its spread. The government and taxpayers had spent millions on research, with no conclusive solutions. Which of course gave the conspiracists plenty of ammunition. Half believed that there was a secret cabal of powerful individuals that didn't want a solution to be found. That somehow, these evil individuals were reaping the benefits of a nation running scared. That this mutation kept people too distracted to notice how big business was breaking laws right left and center. They were all too busy fighting the freaks. The religious factions thought this was the apocalypse. Somehow these freaks were foretold in an ancient calendar or cave drawings eons ago.MoreLess
