Journal Log #433January 8th 2018: Days and days I ravagely scratch at the wooden coffin, my fingers bleeding. A rage begins to consume my mind as I scream, "NO! I was suppose to prove them wrong! Not wind up as a corpse!" Suddenly my left fist swings at the coffin and splinters of wood and dust clouds my vision. I had broken free from my prison. The choke point inside me was starting to take effect on my body. My head tilts down as I stare in both fear and wonder as my hands immediately heal the bloodied gashes and cuts. A grin finds its way on my face as I begin to walk through the graveyard.
I had been so full of joy with my success that I hadn't noticed that there was no sign of life in the city. Cars sat in the deserted streets, covered in ash and dust along with the smell of death. Finally reality begins to set in as I notice the burned buildings, the bone fragments scattered in the rubble. Not even an atomic bomb could amass to this power. No... He wouldn't have... Tom... I turn and see a decaying TV, flashing a looping news feed filled with static. "New York C--- has been str--k with some sort of exp-lo--n. Offici-ls have b-------"
"No." I whisper to myself, "Tom tried to replicate the choke point..."
October 19th, 2040: Tom hadn't gave up even with my death. He spent four years of his life trying to replicate my research. Day and night he tried to finish what I had started. The only thing he ended was half of the United States. His experiment went horrible wrong. His choke point was extremely unstable. He didn't manage to charge the atoms properly which caused thousands of nuclear chain reactions to go off at once. The chaos didn't end there. The explosion also emitted strange radiation that would mutate anything at alarming rates. It created creatures, abominations, monsters... Once there were no more survivors to eat they moved onto populated areas, consuming everyone and everything. Earth had become a living hell.
Dogs turned into demonic hounds, humans turned into spliced assassins, rats turned into silent killers, and it was my research that had caused this. "Time is just a matter of perception." a thought begins to form in my head, "I can still fix this. I need to find my lab first if it's still in once piece." That wasn't the real issue though. It was the fact if I'd still be in one piece by the time I reached the lab...
Actually pretty good.
Thanks.
