capture, scan, release

No one is certain who or what released the first spores. I personally think it is nature’s way of fighting against humanity’s torment to the world ecosystem.

When it happened, my family and others in the community fled to the limestone caves of Hanibal, MO, to escape the fungus. It spread across the world in less than one month, airborne and un-seeable to the human eye.

As survivalists, it became our mission to fight the fungus and regain our way of life. We set up monitoring camps all over Missouri, our major bases lay in the city of St. Louis.

After months of monitoring the other life in the area that survived the onslaught, and the life cycle of the fungus, we realized that some humans seemed to be immune.

Over the past year we have been capturing people and scanning their brains to look for chemical reactions that may lead to the discovery of an antibody to fight the fungus. We have begun to find certain connections and are in the process of developing an antibiotic.
