into the MIST
When the plague hit in 2012, some said it was just another work up. Said that
everyone making a big deal out of everything. In the past years people had
gone through numerous panics about various diseases.
Swine Flu.
Avian flu.
SARS.
In retrospect, that’s probably why it spread so far before cautions were put in
place.
Some called it the Apocalypse. They said the Mayans had predicted it. They said
no one would survive. That it was the end of the world.
A terrified group of people went to the as-of-yet un-operational space-tourism
center.They were still in the testing phase, but things had been put on hold due
to the danger of disease. Already fifty percent of the worlds population was sick.
A third of those had died, and a bunch more were on their way out. Somehow,
they still hadn’t stopped the disease.
It’s 2210. Almost two hundred years have passed since the Plague. We have yet
to leave the Hotel, which we now call Reysore Colony. Some of the officials are
thinking about going back to Earth, to gather some supplies needed to repair
some things which we just can’t do here. We have not heard from anyone on the
Planet since 2013.
