Author Note: I originally started this book way back in 2012. A lot has changed since then. I now have more free time on my hands, so I think I will start it up again by doing some rewriting of the chapters that I posted all those years ago.
Disclaimer: I am in no way associated with iCarly (the series has been off the air for years), Schneider's Bakery (I don't even know what they are making these days), or Nickelodeon (it doesn't look like there are any good series on air right now). Any similarities of characters, places, or situations, real or fictional, are purely coincidental. This story is for my own entertainment and I make no claims of any type of ownership. However, please don't duplicate or replicate this story. I will not make any money from this story.
Warning: This relatively friendly Dolcett inspired fantasy may have depictions of sexual and violent situations, a multitude of fetishes, moderate amount of BDSM, a little cannibalism, themes of submission, and reluctance situations.
- Prologue -
The people of Earth had a very optimistic view of the future toward the end of the 1980s. By the mid 1980s, the Cold War between the East and West was effectively over, inflation had eased, the world economy was rebounding, and a new era of peace had begun, but the destruction of the human race was already in work. One of the consequences of the end of the Cold War was the proliferation of weapons on the black market and the science that created them. Extremist realized it was impossible to go against the developed countries with conventional weapons, but they had a desire to destroy anything that didn't agree with their views. At the time people feared nuclear weapons and efforts were devoted to curbing their proliferation. But the true weapons of mass destruction, the ones that ended the world as we knew it, were biological.
It's not completely clear if the viruses were man-made or if they were the result of emerging infectious diseases due to deforestation, global warming, pollution, rapid worldwide travel, or social inequality. The first plagues didn't even attack people, but all domesticated male animals became infertile. A decade later; dogs, cats, cattle and other large animals became extinct. But in any case the world was unprepared. The social structure of many parts of the world broke down. The new world order became survival of the fittest. This was when the first instances of cannibalism was reported.
The final event came when people started dying from diseases that have never been seen before. However, when horrific numbers of men started dying, scientists, engineers, and military organizations all over the world were given every available resource and the authority to be absolutely ruthless in their mission to save mankind.
The Gene Wars took nearly twenty years. The human race was saved, but society was fundamentally changed. The society that formed during the years of Martial Law in the United States was very different from before. So have the changes between men and women.
Men are now relatively rare and hold all positions of power.
Author Note: I just read over the old next chapter and I don't think I will be making many changes to it so it will be upload soon.
