c. 3015
"Hello and welcome to 107 news. A new super virus has taken over the nation of Astar. The citizens are dying in waves and the cure is still unknown. Soon there won't be anything left to find when other nations try to take the land." The scene in the news studio was completely different to the scene outside. The stench of rotting bodies and the screams echoing through the streets from the distraught families of the deceased. One girl stood out from the rest. She had already lost her family and become left to battle the virus on her own.

Adeline laughed as her mother told her what happened to her today. 'Mama, surely that isn't true!' She smiled. "Sure is! I almost died running into …show more content…
the fruit seller!" Mama replied.
Adeline loved her family and spending time with them was very important to her. Her dad switched on the television and flicked channels until it was on the news.
"BREAKING NEWS: scientists have discovered the beginnings of a super virus, and they believe that it's affects could be fatal if not controlled in the next year or so."
The atmosphere around the family dining table suddenly became quite depressed. "What are they going to do, Mama?" Adenine desperately questioned her mother.
"That's the thing, darling. I don't know what they can do." She replied.

I woke up, screaming in terror from a nightmare about what had happened during those terrible couple of years when the virus began to kill, and had left me all alone after the rest of my family had passed. The survivors had grouped together and we were currently living in an abandoned house, trying to stay away from the rotting smell of the dead bodies scattered around the nation. I rose from sleep and went searching for anyone to spend time with, but they all seemed to be frozen, like statues in a museum. I tapped on the shoulder of Jake, but he didn't move or even blink, and I screamed in terror and tasted metallic blood on my tongue. What is happening? I thought to myself as I sprinted to my room and tried, unsuccessfully, to fall back asleep. Eventually, I could, and when I woke up, the world seemed like it was back to normal, with the sound of people's laughter and conversations filling the once empty space. That night, I once again woke up from my fitful sleep and decided to walk it off, but when I came downstairs, feeling the touch of the wooden handrail, and the pair of survivors on watch didn't wave back to me, or even blink. I exited the house, and the wind whistled as the world froze, and — suddenly there was a glimpse of someone darting through the streets. They were a cat - they moved lithely and disappeared from sight for a few seconds, then reappeared
again. Of course I followed the perplexing, powerful figure! I crept silently along the streets, until I heard a loud bang and darkness came upon me. I lie on my side when I wake up, and a hear a bone-chilling laugh coming from above me.
