Let history witness...
That we used to count in billions
Life had a billion colors
A billion smiles for the morning and a billion tears for the night
How could a single mistake decide the end of spring?!
How could a single breath decide the extinguishing of billions of candles and announce an endless darkness?!
How can a single one conquer billions?!

An urgent telegram arrived at the office of the Croatian Foreign Minister.
Mr. President,
Official formalities that no one reads, not even the minister himself, who may be more focused on the tennis match playing on the TV in front of him than on the telegram itself.
But he read a line in the telegram that not only froze the blood in his veins but also froze time around him when he read the following:
"...Recent research has revealed a strange species of parasites, unaffected by nuclear radiation but may evolve to feed on it, growing in size spontaneously..."
My father read in a fading voice, and my mother dropped the tea tray, hugged my children, and took them to the next room where toys were scattered on the floor, and the world was free of fear and disease.
But I lied to them, I knew better. It's a catastrophe...
When everyone thought the darkness of the night had ended, a new type of suffering dawned with the morning.
According to the latest research from the World Health Organization, the Opitos parasite has been classified into three types:
Type 1: Feeds on red blood cells in human blood, shows mild symptoms similar to anemia, and is easily eliminated by gamma radiation.
Type 2: Feeds on flesh and devours the victim's internal organs, shows no symptoms until it devours everything at once... it can be killed by gamma radiation... and can evolve into Type 3.
Type 3: Feeds on nuclear radiation itself, grows in size and develops instincts that make it closer to animals in its evolution. The largest sample reached the size of a horse. It is unaffected by radiation but is affected by physical force if strong enough and can be destroyed by detonation.
Apparently,
The nuclear vaccination was a huge mistake.

The bodies of an entire family were torn apart in an apartment in the first sector, and the middle son is missing.
I don't know him, but I hope he found refuge, or else I can imagine what he went through.
Remains of a man in his forties were found on Ilka Street.
We heard loud screams from the neighbor's house, it was 2 AM. We heard the sound of bullets leaving the rifle's barrel, consecutive shots, and the sound of glass breaking.
My husband said we should leave, but my parents refused, saying it was dangerous and that we were safer in a closed place.
There was no time to convince anyone. We left without them...
At 4 AM, we passed the remains of dozens of people scattered in the main square of Zagreb...
Yes,
A new natural cycle has begun,
Where humans are downgraded,
And become prey...
Ten days, then twenty days, then thirty...
Europe is no longer a place to live...
And we all know what's next,
Asia.
The days passed over the defeated nations at the hands of fate. Supplies are almost depleted, and the country no longer produces anything. As for the cursed situation ticker, it continues to deliver the ominous news to citizens every day at 5 PM. They no longer hide anything from us.
The United Nations declares a state of emergency.
The World Health Organization:
"We should have cared for the infected populations before it came to this."
Petition... Deportation
Petition... Medical check-up
Petition... Aid
The Security Council...
Rejects...
Rejects...
Rejects...
Defection from the United Nations...
East Asian countries defy the Security Council's instructions and form an independent party to deal with the problem without any external intervention...
More than 10,000 people illegally displaced towards the frozen continent.
Attempted assassination of the World Health Organization's President by a group of displaced persons.
The mysterious disappearance of Russia's president.
Military coup in more than 20 Asian countries.
Officials are under the lens of public anger...
And the people have lost hope...
In the existence of a solution or salvation...
The world is on high alert for worse to come...

This evening, we will head to the capital. We must catch the next flight to the new country. We gathered in a crowd of thirty people. Due to a lack of transportation and gasoline running out, we will have to stick together and travel on foot.
