But ANON had never thought of dying in the

hands of the Godfather. He wasn’t ready for it.

Now that he was unavoidably close to losing

his mind, there was so much more he wanted

to do. words couldn’t describe all but one thing:

the untold truth must not fade into

nothingness. Nevertheless, ANON had no

choice, he had no control over his life or death.

… The end.

Basic biological forms of homo sapiens are no

longer fit for survival, hence people are

transforming in response to the altering,

unpredictable environment. Survival of the

fittest; it is never the fiercest that survive, but

the most responsive to change. Human beings

are nurtured to live in duality: To wake up and

work during the days; to camouflage and find

hope in the nights. Alternatively, human

beings are neither diurnal or nocturnal, but

ghosts who never rest.

The endless struggle is driving ANON crazy. It’s

been days since she was trapped here. She

hadn’t even had a single drop of water. The

Eyes had sealed off the whole area so the

survivors could no longer reach parts of the

ruins where they could find the resources and

support they needed. The downpour has

contaminated all the water tanks. Food is

gradually rotting, and first aid supplies are

dampened. There were a few bodies near

ANON, dead because of the exposure to toxins

from the catastrophes. ANON was not faring

any better. Symptoms were spotted on her

body. Her skin was swelling, mutating and

occasionally bleeding black. Perhaps it was the

clouds. There had been rumours of the

capsaicin rain. Some said that it came from

another region. The contents were different

and definitely more carcinogenic than before,

killing the future generations in the area.
