Excromation

Our downfall is at our own fault. Our never ending bloodlust and need for simple recources dragged our species down to the ground, making us turn on each other and lead to the end. I would say this was god's doing, but at this point I don't believe he exists, and even if he did, is a being willing to create a species so ravenous and murderous even worth our prayers? Furthermore, why would someone who is so, "all loving", watch as his children suffered and perished? Many have died since it all started, and I deem it very important to write down what has happened as a guideline as what not to do if the human race miraculously prevails and makes it through this mess.

The first day of our downfall was December 25th 2020. On such a holy day, nobody would expect something so catastrophic to unfold. Scientists for the US military created a new substance that could be used as a weapon. The substance was dubbed, "Drop ems", as the substance would cause those in contact with it to drop to the floor, paralyzed, and have their skin melted away within seconds. The substance was said to be a mix of sulfuric acid, tampered cobra venom, lead, and another ingredient that was held confidential to the public, and to this day, nobody knows what it is. The great thing about Drop ems, was their versatility, as they could be compacted into shells as gun ammunition, or packed into bombs as a method of mass destruction. Once scientists created Drop ems, the beginning of The Decade of Dread began. As expected, this was a span of ten years, from 2020-2030.

Although the US Government swore that they would not use Drop Ems unless absolutely needed, reports came in of the US military sneaking the deadly stuff onto the battlefield, giving the US a strong advantage. Despite the outcry of the US peoples, using Drop Ems in wars eventually became common practice, and although the masses hated the stuff, nobody could deny that Drop Ems were incredibly effective at bringing rival countries to their knees. By 2023, the countries of China, UK, Japan, and Australia banded together to stop the US's reign of terror. The countries formed a faction called, CHOSK, and they had one goal, to stop the US from being the sole people who had Drop ems.

The problem with CHOSK, is that although their intentions seemed good, they were actually quite flawed, as they decided to attempt to fight fire with fire to stop the US from taking over more countries. By mid 2023, the US had already taken control of 17 other countries, all within a span of two years, and all because of the deadly Drop Ems. The major territories that were moved into the US were Canada, France, Mexico, and Haiti, and the rest were smaller countries taken over only for their natural resources. CHOSK eventually found out the Drop Em recipe, and began making their own Drop Em ammo, bombs, hell, they even made a Drop Em launcher that spewed out the substance in its pure liquid form. CHOSK was stacked, and when they tried to combat the powerful US, they were oblivious to the fact that they were about to start what is considered to be World War 3.

On March 1st, 2025, CHOSK attacked without notice, on US soils. The CHOSK militia attacked San Francisco, and although they were breaking many of the rules of war set in place, they slaughtered thousands. The US army was sent down to California, and they responded by massacring the CHOSK militia with a plethora of Drop Em bullets and sprays. It seemed as though CHOSK was dealt with after the US defended California, but a mere year later, CHOSK used its first Drop Em Bomb on the US. They attacked the city of Boston, and the bomb pulverized the poor city and all of its inhabitants. The US responded with a much worse course of action.

The US dropped a DEB (Drop Em Bomb) in London England, and sent storms of troops to raid, destroy, and pillage the rest of the UK. The United States degraded to uncivilized tactics used centuries ago, all for the taste of sweet revenge. On May 22nd, 2025, CHOSK responded almost worse, proving that they were no better than their adversaries.

On May 22nd they DEB'd 28 states, the most important being, New Texas, New York, California, and Illinois. At this point, what was left of civilization in the afflicted states was in shambles and were in complete riots, leading them to branch off and create a new country called The Alliance of Liberty. Because of the rebelling states, the United States fell into utter chaos, leading more states to rebel and leave the US. Because of this, what was left of the US became a war country, focusing only on making weapons and conquering others. Their first DEB attacks were used against The Alliance of Liberty. Caught off guard, The Alliance was dealt with rather quickly, leading many of the rulers of the states inside the Alliance to come crawling back to the US. The US responded by enslaving all of the civilians in those states and publicly executing their rulers.

Blind with rage and fueled by revenge, on January 4th, 2030, the United States made another destructive war tool, but not one many would suspect. They attempted, and succeeded, to create a new disease to ravage any countries that stood before them. The disease was called, Excro, and was tested on those enslaved by the US. To the delight of the US military, the disease was incredibly deadly, and caused an incredibly slow painful death, all the while leaving the enemy incapacitated. The disease had different effects on different people, and all were deadly. Some exposed to the disease would literally drown in their own vomit within minutes, while others' blood would literally boil, and their organs would all melt. For more study on the diverse effects, the government started taking random slaves or innocent civilians into testing facilities, in which they had cruel experiments done on them.

One such cruel experiment had the subject pinned down to a table by nails, to induce more pain of course, and then they had their arms ripped off, and their bloody stumps injected with Excro. The most sadistic part of all of this however, is that it was all done without anesthesia or any other medical supplements to reduce pain.

There were many more tests conducted, and the United States unquenchable thirst for blood led to the majority of the US citizens being tested upon and killed, making the US literally a military country and nothing more.

Some sadomasochist over in the US military came up with the genius idea of combining Drop Ems with Excro to create some sort of biological bomb. The US government was euphoric upon hearing the idea and decided to see if the two could mix together. To the excitement of the government, and incredible despair to the citizens, they combined to create the greatest weapon known to man, which ultimately lead to what we call the Age of Apocalypse.

The US, still enraged by the bombs dropped by CHOSK, launched its first Drop Em and Excro bombs (DEEB) on Hong Kong, China, on August 14th, 2031. The bomb obliterated nearly all of Japan, and those who survived the explosion were infected by Excro, leading to their demise, or at least that was what was supposed to happen.

After word spread out about China's ruined country, the UK sent out investigators in protected armor to search what was left of China. To their shock, the cities and towns were ruined, but strange people with pitch black skin and large red spots were roaming the demolished country. When provoked, the strange people went A-wall and attacked the investigators, and eventually cannibalized them. Only one investigator made it back to tell Scottish officials what had occured. Soon, a fleet of UK soldiers were sent in to combat the strange inhabitants, and also search for survivors.

After hours of searching, the soldiers found a small group of survivors, of whom buried themselves under ground during the explosion. Once brought up into the polluted Chinese air, all of them began coughing and they dropped to the ground. The dim witted soldiers had forgotten the air was infected, and led the survivors to their doom. Once they died of suffocation, the survivors, all in unison, got up and red boils began to appear as their skin turned a tarred pitch black. The soldiers fled, and ran for their lives, never to return to the forsaken country of China.

To get rid of all of the infected people, the UK nuked China, but, the infected people seemed to bask in the radiation, and ran towards the explosion like moths to a flame. The most surprising aspect of this, was the fact that they all escaped from the deadly explosion unscathed.

The soldiers who returned to the UK were fine, or so the doctors thought, and they were allowed into the public. Little did they know that even coming into contact with those infected would lead to eventual death, and transformation. Within a few days the soldiers all became the strange monsters they had just confronted days before, and they spread their disease to the rest of the country.

This was a serious pandemic, and the center of it was in England, so the UK had no other choice but to drop a DEB on the area, so they could at least melt the disfigured monsters that killed millions. However, the attempts at ending the disease with DEBs were futile, and those infected only appeared to become more ravenous the more they were bombed. Soon, even the UK government was infected, leading to anarchy and absolute chaos. The process in which people transformed into those disease ridden monsters came to be known as Excromation.

The US, seeing what that one bomb did to an entire nation, became mad with power. To them, you were either with them or against them, and in both circumstances your country would be destroyed. The next target of the US' wrath was Japan. Japan, luckily, was prepared for such an event and provided underground shelters for their civilians to protect them from the blasts. Unfortunately, when the inevitable came and the bombs dropped, the leaders of Japan weren't able to get to shelter in time, and they all perished.

Foolishly, the Japanese citizens walked out onto their fallen country mere moments after the bombs dropped, leading to their untimely demise. The few people still underground were found by what we call the Excromorphs (those infected with Excro) and eaten alive and kicking.

The US next set its eyes on Australia, which wasn't so easy to be taken down. The Australian government already had began construction of a safe, underground area where almost all the citizens could live, and stay unaffected from a blast of a bomb of any caliber. The area was started back when Drop Ems were first created just in case something like this was to occur. When the bombs were dropped, everyone was safe and sound in their own little underground community, but there was one problem. The underground society wasn't finished yet, and thus to save space, many innocent people were banished out into the unforgiving polluted terrain. Another major problem, was that not all of the food had been imported, so the survivors still only had about a month before food ran out, leading to either starvation, or cannibalization. The Australian public chose the latter, and eventually were completely killed off.

America had done it, they had successfully eliminated all opposing countries and were alone in the world to prosper. Soon the US' jovial expressions were changed to looks of horror as they found out something that led to the end of society as we knew it. An Australian citizen was living among the US society, and when news broke out of Australia being the target of DEEBs, he went completely insane. While the government was celebrating, the man saw the perfect opportunity to strike back. He sedated a guard who looked similar to him and stole his clothes. He then proceeded to enter the weapons facility and deploy all of the DEEBs on the United States.

The problem above all for the United States was that they never had to worry about being the target of those bombs as they were always in control, thus, they foolishly had no shelters for the US citizens and themselves. They watched in horror as the countdown to doomsday ticked down.

10....9.....8....7....6.....5....4.....3....2....1....

An incredibly loud sound was heard in the distance, and a cloud of soot and dust was on the horizon. Within seconds the White House was engulfed in flames and all inside were smothered in dust and ridden with disease. The world had fallen to pieces.

The date is... I think June 2nd.... no wait... June 13th, 2056. There are believed to be around 100 people still alive on the Earth, and all of us are on the brink of death. We were all born somehow immune to the disease if airborn, but not when consumed, leaving us to starve as all food and wildlife are contaminated with Excro. There are more cases of Excromation every day, and even the Excromorphs themselves would rather starve than eat our frail, broken bodies. It's harder to breathe every day, as smoke and rubble slowly smother and suffocate us. I know I am on the brink of death, I can somehow feel it, so take these as my final words, a warning if you will.

If the human race survives this nightmare we CANNOT become greedy and corrupted like we were before. We need to become all loving, caring, and kind. I know it sounds cheesy but I honestly don't see any way the human race survives unless w
