The Rain and The Tree
Foreword
Hi there guys, how're you doin now? I hope y'all are OK and have some free time to enjoy reading. This fic is a little bit like a comeback for me, I was off for too long. But I wish I still can produce a decent one. *wink*
Ok, well, here's a little bit explanation before we enter to start to the first chapter, because it's an alter-world, mind you.
And I hope it can pique your interest and give me some input and critiques.
This is a story taken from Shingeki no Kyojin (Credit goes to the mangaka, not me).
And the characters inside will be (dum-du-du-dumm) Erwin – Levi.
I really really like that pair, more than Levi - Eren, sorry guys. And it's not going to be a romantic affair. At least in my mind right now, IDK if in the middle I think there will be some development.
A little warning: English wasn't my mother language; so, please pardon my weird word selections. I'm open to some repair and fixing the language if you don't mind helping me out.
Well, I hope you can enjoy this story (Prologue), and if its not too troublesome for you, plz leave some comments. Hahhaha…
Prologue
The year 2042, it's approximately four years after the Government's secret bio-weapon in development 'TITAN' accidentally unleashed and destroying the world population by three quarter, all the destruction and poverty created by the disease makes people really suffers and broken. Physically and mentally.
The Government was trying out this new bio-weapon and secretly trying it out on some unsuspecting people inside their lab, and someone was just got too careless for their own good on their way transporting the safety bag to the other lab located outside town skirts. One of them accidentally fell down the car onto the bag, and the tubes inside was broken, the younger scientists got too panicked, somewhat forgetting some of the biggest safety protocols and just opened the bag to check the tubes.
And in doing so, the air-borne virus immediately starts to spread everywhere in a relatively short time. Air-borne viruses usually aren't that robust. Unlike the water-borne viruses, the air-borne viruses are easy to spread, but not that hard to eliminate. The only problem was that, well, they tend to spread too fast. Too fast.
'TITAN' is the name of the virus that makes only human body cells grow large and swell. It's intended to be a non-aggressive virus, and it will makes the human body grow in size and enlarging it by 3-4 times the normal human size, hence the name. It's actually still in Government's development project, in regards of the giant human soldier ideas; it will help on wars and industrial things. But halfway in the project, the virus reaction was far too horrific to think and to study more about. It's still too unstable and it was about to de-programmed or even destroyed if the de-programmed failed when the accident happened.
In a few weeks, there are reports in medical places, patients are being admitted with the report of body swelling and getting larger, but very weak. All the living cells are growing too fast. Far too uncontrollable. All the internal organs are also growing in size and weight inside the cage of ribs.
But somehow the bones are not affected. It remains the normal size. And because of that, the bones couldn't support the body weight and cannot contain the swelling of the internal organs anymore.
The organs got squeezed and pressed inside the ribcage, the heart cannot pump normally. The lungs cannot take too much air to breathe. One cannot even breathe properly to survive. Intestines got too pressed and squished to actually get food passed through. People who got infected almost cannot move anymore. Their own body becomes too heavy to haul.
They can't eat too much. They starved, and so they become weak. Almost no activity can be done. No work one can do to support themselves financially.
They cannot even sit to eat anymore…
Parents are worried about their children at home to work too far or too long, so they can't earn more money to treat their kids. Children went to their school in the morning without being able to erase the image of their suffering parents or siblings on their bed. They hardly can concentrate on the lessons anymore.
Husbands or wives go working after locking out their front door with tears in their eyes, remembering saying their goodbyes for the day. It might be the last time that they said that to their spouses.
The human infected will surely getting crushed to death by their own weight only after few months. But no cure has been found so far. Governments were still trying to make it stable before the accident, so the way to control it hasn't been developed too.
The only thing keeping the virus from totally annihilate the human race was the human's own body-immune. It means (as usual), some people are not infected at all, and some people just don't survive. Because no vaccine can ever found this far, so no one could find the prevention medicine.
Considering the dwindling and dropping numbers of human populations in the cities that were still surviving, it's not surprising that there's almost no one to take care of the cities. No one was there to control the gang criminals and illegal fake-medicine dealers at bay too.
The professional helps, workers, officers and officials are so limited. Medicines and healthcare are also a rarity.
Buildings were crumbling, schools were abandoned. Parks, malls, and attractions were closed. Transportation and distributions systems are crumbling. Government was in tatter.
No one was really available to take care of the public services anymore.
From now on, people must survive on their own power and way.
Afterword
So there, the prologue was finished.
Was that interesting enough? Was it nice? I hope so… XD XD
And I hope it's not too weird. It's really fun to write this story. So many thing to discover, and I wish you'll be there with me. Please wait for the FIRST CHAPTER. *crossingfingers*
It won't be a long Fic. Might be just few chapters. But I hope it's good enough for y'all….
Well, see y'all again, maybe next week.
I got a big 3-days event to fold and fix on 3-4-5 July, 2015.
