The Infinite Being
The year is 2157. The entire earth has been ravaged by a Disease named C-67. This disease requires a host to live because if it is exposed to air for too long, it will die. When an infected person touches a non-infected person, the disease will be transmitted. In about three days, the victim will lose all humanity. After that, their only goal is to kill and infect. In five years humanity lost 93% of its population across the world. It has been almost 100 years since the first outbreak.
If that wasn’t bad enough, the cities we are stuffed into are wretched. The inner part of the city, referred to as the upper ring, is where the privileged live. This includes top scientists and government officials. The rest of the buildings are restaurants, official buildings, and high end services. There are multiple levels of floating buildings, and in this case they can reach up to 10 different levels. The middle ring has average people that work mediocre jobs and own small businesses. There is up to 5 levels in this ring. Finally, there is the outer ring, which has no floating areas at all. Also has the most surface area to be used. Our job is to work in the fields with the animals or crops to feed the city. I hear things used to be happy here, before the 15 hour work days with barley enough money to scrape by. People starve to death here on almost a daily basis. If you are late to the fields by even a minute, then you work for three more hours for no extra pay. And to top it off, the police in the lower ring find it to be a sport to beat the citizens here.
Things will get better. There is a revolution starting and, while it might just be a spark now, it can grow into raging fire. People will die and buildings will burn, but from the ashes a new empire shall rise.
