The EPILOGUE

Summary

The year is 2209 and the world has ended. The XY-7 virus has infected the entire world. After a bioterrorist attack aimed to every major city of the globe occurred simultaneously, people started to die in the millions within the first twenty four hours. 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. He will have to face against the challenges of empty civilizations, dramatic climate changes, and unknown enemy forces. If there is any hope left for Earth, it is up to him to make things right.

Prologue

‘’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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
