John woke up in his lonely safehouse. How long had it been? About a year since it happened. He sat on his bed remembering the dream he had… A time before the megaherds. A time before it all went to shit. He sighed and wished that things were different. That Hasbio never decided to play god, creating the world’s first bio-toy.
Even before the invention of the shitrat, John was always known by his friends and family alike to be very paranoid. He stocked up on food and supplies, had an extensive collection of weapons. Whether it was an natural disaster, plague, alien invasion. John was prepared for it. But no one could have forseen this. He took a deep spiteful breath and reminisced. His morning ritual required that he reminded himself of the world is now.
How did it happen? As fluffies spread around the world and became more and more popular, ferals started becoming an issue. One day it might be a dissappointed child that threw out their toy, a shop closing down leaving their stock to roam carelessly out in the wild, whatever it might have been, the population swelled and inevitably it caused issues. At first, you might find an mare and it’s foals begging for a “nyu daddeh” and “nummies” in a crummy alleyway or a smarty puffing out it’s chubby cheeks arrograntly demanding for you to surrender your home. Then it escalted. Massive feral herds swept the United States, harrasing farmers, wrecking agriculture and eating whatever it could find. There were countermeasures of course, a shotgun blast here, a bit of pesticide there. But no matter what, they bred faster than anyone could kill. Their excellent biology being more than capable of digesting whatever nutrition they could find, all of the resistance from their creators was ultimately useless.
As the people starved, and the streets ran wild with them. The President eventually declared a state of emergency. Congress voted to ban all fluffies domestic or wild, ordering all of them to be neutralized on sight. But it was far too little too late.
Instead of creating the ultimate pet, Hasbio engineered the ultimate parasite.
This was no longer a world of humanity. This was now a world of fluffies.
John swept his dark hair away from his face and started to get to work. He had to scavenge today, and his bloodlust wouldn’t sastify itself.
