Book Description
At first, no one realised what was happening. Not that it would have made any difference in the grand scheme of things. It started out as a sudden rise in missing persons. People disappeared with no explanation. One day they were going about their lives, as they normally did. Nothing special, nothing out of the ordinary. The next, they were gone, just up and left, taking nothing at all with them.
With this disappearance rate, there was also a sudden upsurge in murder and accidental deaths. Unexplained deaths came close on their heels. At first, there was no link between the two, but it did not take long for the authorities to catch up to speed. About as long as it took for an autopsy to be completed. Of course, the backlog in the system meant that this correlation was discovered weeks after it should have been.
Then there were people who had been mutilated beyond recognition. Tests would show that these people were being killed by dogs. Big dogs. Other people were ripped apart without any plausible explanation. Others, still, appeared to be drained of all their blood.
Speculation was rife. Some people blamed society; others blamed religion. Others still, blamed aliens. That third party were closer to the actual reality than they would be led to believe at first.
What had happened was that the viruses used to create the cure, had mutated. They mutated in such a way that no one would have guessed. The very nature of the cure was its mutating factor, which effectively crossed out the mutating factor of the AIDS virus. In a way, it was a negative and a negative coming together to create a positive, just like in mathematics.
However, it turned out that this positive effect wore off over time. Alternatively, it split apart. The positive became two separate negatives again. However, because they had co habited together for so long within the human body, they had changed slightly. They had taken on the traits of the body that it had lived in. It had taken common genetic information and mutated, once again, as the virus split back into its original form, but not in a helpful, healthy way this time.
Something interesting happened instead. People were no longer predisposed to cancer and diabetes. They were now more apt to becoming a zombie, vampire, werewolf or a troll.
