It's The End Of The World As We Know It
by Mrs.KreszentiaBlack Sun Feb 16, 2014 8:52 pm
Everybody questions life after death periodically through their lives, some people turn to one of many religions in anticipation of such an event. Everything and everyone dies, it's the circle of life. In our universe, the undead are fictionalized, and even dramatized with movies and hit TV shows. But what if the undead were real and part of everyday life?
Such a scenario exists, in an alternate universe, the history largely remained the same, but with a few teaks and influences by the armies of the dead, our present times could not be more different...
In this new world, when the first human being died, something within it's genetic makeup became heavily corrupted, and thus the zombie was born. Cavemen struggled against this apex predator, a being so unstoppable, so untiring that at many points could have been the cause of our extinction.
When the first civilizations were erected, and a language was established, there arose a force of man that dedicated themselves to eradicating the monsters in the dark. Eventually, they almost achieved their goal. Until the Plague hit Europe, knocking out 2/3 of the population. But we prevailed once again.
Such a curse almost swallowed America as well, The Civil War, though fought over slavery and the railroad system, also fought over the undead. Do we treat them as animals, and off them immediately? Or do we treat them humanely and with respect for the people they once were? Near the end of that war, there were numerous amounts of the undead, almost bringing America to it's knees, but we prevailed with the forces known as The Butchers...
Then came World War 2, played out the same as our own, but with several noticeable differences. Josef Mengele used his "studies" to see how far the human organism could go before zombifying, or how much pain the near dead could suffer before "crossing over". Those imprisoned within concentration camps were worked beyond death, using their hunger for the living against them, The Nazis built bigger, worse machines for death and war. Yet the allies prevailed.
Now cometh the divergent timeline-
In 1960, the curse is finally given a name with the proper amount of study: The Rage Virus.
The Civil Rights Movement for African Americans, also saw the rise of the Undead Peaceful Rights Movement, a grouping of uber-hippies who believed that a humanity to far gone could be brought back into the light. Boy were they wrong...
Fast Forwards to now-
Major Metropolitan areas are nearly gone thanks to the ranks of the undead, New York City got so bad that the bridges were taken out, and citizens were resigned to living in Central Park, while chaos reigned in the streets.
Atlanta Georgia is a wasteland.
Las Vegas is cut up into thirds, Livable, Warring, and Overrun.
The only Major area unaffected is D.C., now so well guarded it is thought of as the only safest place in the world, apart from Vactican City.
Paris France is gone.
London England has been abandoned.
Suburbanites across the globe now live in fear and gated communities.
The Rich 1%ers pooled their funds into creating an underground city beneath America, but most believe it to be a foolish hope.
God only knows what is to come next.
