The God Virus

"Dude, is that a gun you have there? Where did you get it?" A male asked his friend as they were currently in school.

Oddly though, the school was very quiet as lots of students were absent, even some of the teachers didn’t bother to come anymore.

Then, at this moment, an announcement was made, "Listen, everyone, since most students and teachers didn’t bother to attend the school, today’s classes will be over right now... and this might happen in the next days as well."

"Dude, I said where did you get that gun?" That person asked again.

"Doesn’t matter... the world’s ending... nothing matters anymore, I just want to take my revenge from those bastards..." Uttering that, that boy with the gun didn’t pay any further attention to his friend as he left the class.

’Hmm... let’s see... what was their leader called...? Hmm...yes... his name was Josh!’

In the following days, since the moment of the Mutated Virus’ revelation to the world, the number of crimes had gone off the charts as each day, a large number of murders, thefts, drug overdoses, rapes, etc. Were happening and their number kept increasing by each day.

By now, a lot of people had stopped going to work while students stopped going to school or college altogether.

Plenty of people began to journey all over the world, in hopes of seeing the world before their time of death.

Numerous people began to lose themselves in the pleasures of liquid, whether by drinking massive amounts of whiskeys and alcohol or by injecting themselves with drugs like heroin.

Fights or aggressive behaviors were occurring everywhere too, as people would beat each other or kill one another for even the slightest of conflicts without much thought about the consequences that would follow.

Massive amount of plunderings were happening all over the world as many people no longer bothered themselves to pay for what they wanted, as they began to pillage supermarkets, shops, and other places in groups.

Others were trying their best to keep their family safe from the hands of this insane world.

Police could hardly control the people as they even sought assistance from the army and other places, but even then, they were still kind of short-handed, though they were somewhat temporarily successful at least for a while.

Some countries were even experiencing small riots which kept increasing by the day and soon, if things continued this way, even their government wouldn’t be able to stop and control them.

The Earth was almost in chaos and if things continued like this, it wouldn’t even last a year before they would ruin themselves completely.

A lot of people now believed that the world has gone completely mad as the apocalypse has arrived.

"All those who do not follow the protocols and laws will be punished harshly without any exceptions." Right now, a certain spokesperson was talking over the news, trying to control people by giving them hope and the fear of punishment.

Events like this were also happening all over the world as they were all trying their best to control their people, to stop those who were in absolute despair as they had lost all their red lines.

INSIDE THE OVAL OFFICE

Right now, the president of the United States was sitting on his comfortable chair with a very grave and dark expression as he thought, ’Is this truly the end? Is this the end of humanity? Why would such a thing happen all of a sudden? Why?!?’

’Now that it’s all ending, everything I’ve gone through to get here seems kind of like a big joke... and all those matters which seemed like a big deal just a couple of days ago seems so insignificant, sigh... maybe I should’ve lived differently...’

As the President was lost in his thoughts of despair and regret, suddenly, the door to the Oval Office was opened by a lot of force as someone ran inside in absolute rush.

Pant~ Pant~ Ppant~

Seeing someone enter like a savage without even bothering to knock on the door, the president got very angry as he yelled, "What the fuck are you doing barging here? This is the Oval Office you know? Get the fuck out!"

The other person though continued to be breathless as if he had run here with his life on the line.

"I said get the fuck out!!!" Seeing that person continuing to pant without listening to him, the President yelled at him once again.

However, that person who seemed to finally regain some of his breath finally opened his mouth with difficulty, "Mr. President, great news!!!"

Hearing this, the president was jolted as he screamed with shining eyes, "Did those group of scientists we gathered from all over the world finally succeed in finding the cure?"

"No... it’s not the..." The person was just about to explain the situation when he was interrupted.

"Then what?!? What could possibly be considered great news in this kind of situation when we’re all dying?" The President questioned even angrier than before.

"Mr. President... we finally understood what that blueprint is!!! That blueprint send by the Virus Industries!" That person answered in extreme excitement and elation.

"Uh...that? I had almost forgotten about that since they previously told me they would provide me with an answer as to what that blueprint is exactly in around two days... but I never received any further information from them afterward. Anyway, it doesn’t really matter anymore, so go away!" The President voiced again as he signaled with his hands indicating him to leave at once.

"No Mr. President, you have to hear this. They weren’t able to understand the blueprint in that period of time because it was much more complicated than they had anticipated at first..." That person who had barged into the Oval Office uttered as he continued, "But they were finally able to decipher it... and let me tell you... it was much more valuable than we had thought at first... because with this... we might have some hope for saving humanity!!!"

"Uh..." Listening to his words, the president gasped in shock as his attention was finally fully drawn to the other person as he inquired with his eyes shining in exhilaration once again, "Whatever do you mean? Explain to me in details and fast!!!"

"Yes, sir... so Mr. President, according to what I heard from those group we hired previously... that blueprint was the cure to the HIV disease!!!" The man said in delight.

"What?!? Really???"

"However..." It was at this moment that man’s face suddenly changed and turned a little disappointed and helpless as he continued, "I heard it would cure the normal HIV permanently... it cures it by sending the disease Virus to a permanent hibernation all over the body... but, its effect on the mutated HIV is unknown... moreover..." Suddenly, by the end of his words, the man got quiet as he no longer talked.

"Moreover what? It’s actually great news.. it might really work on the mutated HIV too by sending all of them to hibernation... so continue... moreover whattt?!??" By the time he was finished, the president was almost yelling with red eyes.

"It seems... the technology which is needed to make the cure is almost a hundred years more advanced than our current technology... so... we wouldn’t be able to make that cure unless we have the technology needed for it..." The man opened his mouth as he stated with hopelessness and despair clearly showing itself inside his eyes.

This situation was absolutely like torment for him because he was seeing the cure right in front of him, in so close of a distance that he just needed to reach out and grab it with his hands, however, despairingly, they didn’t have the means for creating it.

This was like the biggest joke and irony he had witnessed in his entire life and existence on the scale of humanity, and probably... the biggest irony ever!

Thinking of having the cure that might be able to save mankind, but not having the means for making it happen made him wonder in a craze, ’Is this God’s way of playing with us? Or, maybe... He’s just throwing one last prank before it’s all over?’
