My Body My Mind

Dear Diary,
The world as I knew it has been forever altered, plunged into an era of darkness and chaos. The familiar sights and sounds have faded into oblivion, replaced by a grim reality that looms over us all.
During The Great War, our nation dared to delve into the realm of creating super soldiers. It was an ambitious endeavor, fueled by hopes of turning the tide in our favor. But the outcome was far from what we envisioned. Countless soldiers paid the ultimate price, losing their lives in the process. And those who survived... well, they became something monstrous, something beyond human comprehension. Their physical appearance still bears some resemblance to us, but their minds have been twisted into something unrecognizable. They are no longer who they once were. Instead, they have become savage beasts, driven by an insatiable hunger for bloodshed.
These abominations, known as "Mutants," pose a grave threat to us all. A single bite from them is enough to seal one's fate. Within a matter of hours or even minutes, the victim succumbs to the same monstrous affliction, transforming into one of them. The cycle of horror perpetuates itself, spreading like wildfire.
Now, these malevolent beings roam the desolated lands, their numbers multiplying with each passing day. Survival has become our paramount goal, leading to an atmosphere of self-interest and mistrust among us, the remnants of humanity. Yet, amidst this bleak backdrop, glimmers of compassion manage to endure. Some individuals still cling to the belief that helping others is not entirely lost.
But in this shattered society, a darker undercurrent runs deep. Opportunistic factions rise, fueled by a ravenous hunger for power and control over their fellow survivors. As if the Mutants weren't enough of a threat, conflicts among humans themselves further fracture our already broken world.
The struggle for survival grows ever more intense with each passing day. We find ourselves navigating treacherous terrain, not only battling the monstrous Mutants but also entangled in a web of human rivalries and alliances. It is within this harrowing tapestry that the remnants of humanity fight for their existence, teetering on the precipice between hope and annihilation.
I can only hope that we find the strength and resilience to overcome these daunting challenges. The future hangs in the balance, and the flame of hope flickers amidst the encroaching darkness.
Yours,
Dr. Cassandra Anderson
