Apocalypse Perspective: Frozen Fear

As the ice caps of the North Pole melt under the relentless effects of climate change, an ancient and deadly virus is unleashed upon the world. This prehistoric pathogen wreaks havoc on humanity, infecting victims with symptoms of internal burning, cracked skin, and eventual brain death. But even in death, the infected remain mobile, with heightened senses of hearing and an insatiable predatory instinct. At first, the virus is confined to isolated, remote areas. However, global travel allows it to spread silently and mutate into a faster-acting strain. A single bite now transforms victims into ravenous, zombie-like creatures within seconds. The story follows the lives of diverse survivors scattered across the globe. Each grapples with the horrors of the outbreak and the collapse of their world. From a young child lost in the wilderness to a soldier torn between duty and family, from researchers racing to find a cure to mercenaries embarking on desperate missions, these perspectives weave together a tapestry of human resilience and desperation during an unprecedented apocalypse. Series 1: Frozen Fear Main Character: Elliot Carson, a 10-year-old boy from Alaska Synopsis: Elliot Carson is an ordinary ten-year-old living in a quiet Alaskan town surrounded by vast, snow-covered wilderness. His life takes a nightmarish turn when people in his town begin succumbing to a strange, deadly illness. Their bodies burn from the inside, their skin cracks like parched earth, and their eyes lose all trace of humanity. The infected become mindless predators, hunting anything that makes a sound. Elliot’s parents are among the first to fall victim to the virus, leaving him alone with his only companion, Max, the family’s loyal dog. With the town overrun, Elliot flees into the unforgiving wilderness, clutching only the survival skills his father had taught him. He must navigate a world transformed by danger, where the infected lurk in the shadows and even the harsh Alaskan winter seems intent on taking his life. As he travels, Elliot encounters other survivors. Some offer fleeting moments of kindness and companionship, while others prove to be as dangerous as the infected. Whispers of a safe zone hidden deep in the Alaskan mountains give him a fragile hope, but the journey is fraught with peril. Every step brings new challenges, from evading the infected to enduring the relentless cold. Through Elliot’s eyes, the story explores the resilience of a child thrust into unimaginable circumstances. It’s a tale of survival, of the unbreakable bond between a boy and his dog, and of the flickering hope that keeps them moving forward even when the odds seem insurmountable. Themes: The loss of innocence and the discovery of inner strength. Survival in the face of both environmental and human threats. The enduring loyalty and companionship of a boy and his dog. Elliot’s journey serves as a poignant and harrowing introduction to the interconnected narratives of Apocalypse Perspective, highlighting the fragility of humanity and the enduring will to survive.

Cygnus X-1

Growth of civilization has been augmented continuously by the colossal presence of technology. A hundred years ago, earth suffered devastating calamities and humans weren’t able to survive in it anymore. Humanity almost perished but a few skilled technologists came together to weave seven space stations that were capable of housing thousands, albeit a few. The space stations banded together to form a single massive station named “The Sanctuary”, where about 7,000 people lived. Resources were scarce and all crimes no matter their severity were punishable by death, unless the transgressor was under 18 years of age. After the Sanctuary’s life support systems were found to be deteriorating, 202 skilled military personnel were dispatched to one of the the nearest planets, a promising candidate for supporting life. The main mission of the military personnel was to scout a planet for a few strange creatures that were capable of resisting radiation and thriving in unfavorable conditions. Humanity had never forgotten to reclaim its lost home, hence various projects were launched yearly with the sole aim of finding a solution to earth’s biggest problem— extremely high level radiation. Project Helix was finally supported by the Assembly although it raised ethical concerns. The project focused on introducing animal genes into humans, with the belief that humans would be able to survive the harsh conditions of earth. Many problems were considered before the Assembly finally gave their support. Would the genes from these animals be compatible with the human genome? Would they be able to integrate into human cells and function as intended? How would the genes be edited and regulated to ensure they don’t disrupt other essential human genes or processes? Could introducing these genes have unintended consequences, such as altering human physiology, behavior, or cognitive abilities? Would the introduction of animal genes into humans raise ethical concerns, such as the potential for unforeseen side effects or the blurring of lines between species? Each one of these problems was enough to dissuade the upper echelons of the Assembly but the deteriorating life support systems was a major concern hence humanity decided to take a big risk, or perhaps a leap of faith. Let’s delve deep into this story so as to enjoy the alluring taste it has to offer, as Miguel Morien creates a new path for humanity, a path along which humans are able to fuse with the genes of beasts, thereby bringing out their lethality and battle prowess, further dazzling the entirety of the world with it.
