Jason Clarke, a college freshman, finds himself being the only survivor in his city. Alone, he will try to find the answers about how and why this happened, but he will need some help on the way.

Prologue

September 18th, 2032, 04:17:32 p.m.

‘’Dr. Gerald, will this work?’’ said Dr. Davidson. ‘’Of course, this is the only way and we have no time left to figure out how test subjects would react’’ said Dr. Gerald. ‘’Davidson, I need you to get me the syringe now, if this is happening, it is right now’’. Dr. Gerald injected himself with a self-made vaccination for a deadly virus named the XY-7. The XY-7 virus was created by scientist within the Nations for Improvement of Health and Diseases (NIHD) in order to combat a series of human diseases, but had horrible results when exposed to their first human test subjects.

After seeing the XY-7 virus’ devastating reaction of dissolving human flesh from the inside and a dramatic increase to body heat temperature, NIHD decided it would be best used to combat against enemies of the Great Nations to avoid weaponized warfare. The Great Nations consist of an allied force between nine powerful nations: China, Japan, Russia, United States, United Kingdom (and all of its territories), Italy, France, Turkey, and Germany.

The Great Nations were established after a war broke out between China and the Koreas in 2022, then Russia against Spain in 2023, Germany and Turkey against most South American countries in 2025, and United States with United Kingdom against joined forces of Mexico, India, and South Africa in 2026. The whole world was involved in a war and the strongest nations decided the best way to victory was an overall alliance for a better world. The establishment of the Great Nations was finalized in 2029.

A lead scientist in the creation of the virus was Dr. Anthony Gerald; Dr. Gerald was a young man with high hopes to building the perfect immunity for humans. When he discovered that the NIHD would use this virus as a weapon against enemies, he foresaw a terrible future and began preparations for a vaccine. Dr. Gerald’s assistant and best friend, Dr. Joseph Davidson was on board to fighting against this deadly virus. The two of them knew they had to keep this a secret though; the entire research facility of NIDH was on full support for the virus’ potential because the world had been at war for twenty years across every nation. Gerald and Davidson knew that making a cure to this virus could mean a shift in the global war.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
