RED

by thelonechipmunk

Alvin and the chipmunks meet RED, the Rapid Eradication Disease. I made a documentary about RED once but it has nothing to do with fan fictions so I can't upload it. Anyways, this is just another bleak, no-hope story. I'll be writing some different stuff later, but until then, enjoy!

1. The World Under RED

Simon's POV

Journal Entry
July 24, 2014
West Eastman High.

This journal's purpose is to document the events of the past month an a half. I've...only begun writing now because we have just gotten news that the plague that has ravaged life on earth has been declared uncurable. I'm not sure if anyone or anything will survive, but if anyone does and they find this, it could help future generations to understand what had happened. I'll just start with who I am.

My name is Simon Seville, age 15, gender male, species...chipmunk. I am one of the only six sentient chipmunks on the face of the earth, originally world famous pop rock stars, but now...provisions for the humans. My brothers are Alvin and Theodore. The Chipettes were Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor, and I'm the only one left alive. I've been trapped in West Eastman High for two weeks now, ever since the first day the unique symptoms of RED revealed itself to the world, and every school, collage, or any education center became a prison for the infected.

Only a few days into the first week of quarantine, a group of about 9 students murdered, cooked, and ate my family, leaving me, since I'm the smart one, to help find a cure. I was forced to watch my brothers die, to hear their screams for help, the students thinking this would scare me into helping find the cure. Well, It sure did one thing...fueling my following actions. The first thing I did after that was combine a few chemicals from the science lab and made a bomb. My hate for those kids was more than I'd ever felt my whole life, so I quelled it by taking their lives. I did, however, in the end help work for the cure as they'd hoped, not that it would help them now.

The plague was literally making the earth itself rot. It infected the vegetation causing the oxygen to turn hazy The air was still breathable, but the atmosphere turned black forever, dimming the sun and tainting the clouds with a slightly redish color, so when it rained, the sky appeared to be bleeding.

I suppose I'll tell you about how it all started now. I'm not sure where it came from. I just know it happened during a normal school day, on our lunch hour. I was sitting alone, since being the smart one, I'm apparently also a nerd.
