Project Terra Mortis: Some history

The last two days I’ve been thinking of where to start my story on how things got so fucked up here. I’ve been writing and re-writing stuff but I just couldn’t give it any form that would be useful to y’all. So I decided to just give ya the info one big happening at a time. If y’all have any questions feel free to ask. I’ll try to answer anything as best I can.

So here are the biggest dates of this century according to yers truly:

09/11/01 Terrorists blow up the world trade center in the old United States and start a snowball effect of government actions that remove just about any freedom that the average Joe had. Y’all should be feeling this back in 2009.

Now I can’t say this for sure cuz as I said I ain’t no scholar or nothing but my daddy always said it was the US government that planned and executed those attacks. That always made sense to me cuz they were the ones profiting the most. It made it possible for governments all around the western world to shove law after law and lie after fucking lie down the throats of the people. Justifying it by saying it was for our own protection. Eventually this led up to the forming of the Global Union back in 2014.

God,  the G fucking U. A group of power-mad fascists bastards pretending to be the saviours of the planet. The GU was basically just a corporate sponsored monster trying to make as much money out of human suffering as they could. They gained control of most countries after the World Civil Wars. Which brings me to the following date.

06/12/2017 Another “terrorist” attack. This time they target the world’s centralised banking databases and manage to shut down the global banking system. Completely crushed what was left of the world economy.

Now there ain’t a lotta records left on the net about this attack. Which only makes me feel more strongly about these attacks being a bunch of orchestrated bullshit. After this “e-bombing” it was decided that the internet was too dangerous and had to be controlled. This just meant that all service providers we’re nationalised and the governments gained near complete control over all internet access. They told us that in doing so the they could fix the economy as well. They never got around to it though cuz in 2018 the world was a total shitstorm of wars and poverty.

2018 – 2021 The World Civil Wars

The destruction of the banking system lead to the collapse of the global economy which in turn fucked up most countries beyond all recognition. When there’s no more money and the food stops coming in, people tend to get pissed.
At first the police and the military fought to keep everyone in line but when the shit started to effect their own homes and families they also looked for someone to blame. Most high placed officials fled their countries others were lynched and killed. Everyone else was left to rot. In the end it was city against city, clubbing eachother to a bloody pulp in hopes of getting the remaining food and resources.

11/12/21 The GU “liberation”

After three years of poverty and war the GU steps in, out of nowhere, trumpets blazing. An insanely well organised military force. Fuckers basically invaded what was left of most countries, removed any form of government and then claimed everything for themselves. All in the name of “liberty” of course.
People back then were so serverly fucked up that they would have swallowed any excuse really. Not that anyone had a choice. They also re-introduced religion to the masses. Techno-divinitism they called it. That spread across the globe like wildfire. In times of need people tend to eat religion like a rotface eats meat.

Then of course the biggest date. The one that changed the face of the planet.

02/08/31 The Great Plague

The Great Plague opens it’s ugly mouth and starts to eat away at the population. At first it’s just a few random reports on the internet and television. Then came the warnings. People were to wear their GU oxy-masks when going outside, a virus was apparently airborne. Then in flooded the reports of people going insane and eating other people. It all went from bad to shitstorm from then on. Imma tell you more about the plague soon cuz it needs way more explaining. I felt the need to finish this post on a more personal note though.

[EDD entry readability adjustment: Something personal]

Yesterday marked the 7th anniversary of my very first rotface kill. Something I wanted to share with y’all cuz it means a lot to me. It ain’t a pretty story but here goes.

It was December 2031 and people were slowly starting to realise that this virus outbreak was more then just some random flu epedemic. Shit was really starting to hit the fan and news updates from the GU were getting less and less frequent. Everyone was getting completely paranoid. People locked themselves in their houses, stacked to the roof with canned foods and water and whatnot.  It seemed the plague had no intention of stopping.
Last we heard it was no longer airborne but was now transferred by contact with the infected. A bite, some spit, vomit, anything like that could get you infected. People were scared shitless as the streets were slowly filling up with more and more of the infected.

My family hadn’t yet been touched by the plague and we, like so many others, had just barricaded ourlselves inside our house. Only problem was, we didn’t stock up on supplies.
It wasn’t long untill we ran on empty and someone needed to go out there and restock. Since me and my brother Martin were our best bet we grabbed some last supplies and took to the streets. Leaving my mother, father and little sister behind.

[EDD entry readability adjustment: Time to resupply]

The city was in total ruins. Buildings on fire, debris and smoke from where gaspipes had burst and blown up. Cars in the middle of the street, smashed, burned, abandoned. And of course there were the bodies.
Dead bodies every-fucking-where. Some half eaten, some burned. Some clearly committed suicide by jumping of the high buildings but all dead as fuck. The smell of scorched and rotting flesh lingered in the streets like a thick invisible mist. My brother was the first to toss his cookies at the sight of a young girl hanging face-down from a large iron fence.

She couldn’t have been much older then 16. Apparently she tried to climb over the fence in a hurry but got her legs stuck in the barbwire on the top. By the looks of it she had tried frantically to get untangled. That’s when the rotfaces must have gotten her.
Once we got there she had been almost completely hollowed out from the waist up. A pool of dried up blood and guts had formed below her mangled body. Her spine now clearly showing through her belly where those fucking cannibals had feasted on her intestines. Huge chunks of skin missing from her face,  teeth visible through her cheeks where the flesh had been eaten off. One arm was torn off but nowhere to be found. Yeah, that was a pretty sickening sight.

[EDD entry readability adjustment: The first rotface]

As I said, my brother puked his guts out right then and there. I managed to keep my breakfast where it was but wasn’t far off from throwing up myself. We didn’t really have time to think too much about it though.
As Martin tried to get his composure back we were startled by a low grunting noise coming from behind a nearby car. That’s when we saw our first rotface.

At first we thought it was just some guy coming out of hiding when he heard people around. But when he started moving towards us we new something was wrong.

As he walked towards us his whole body contorted and twitched like someone was shocking him with electricity. His eyes were blank and grey and his skin was full of sores, scabs and open wounds. A thick black puss was coming out of his ripped flesh.
He was wearing what was left of a pair of jeans and a black sweater, torn from where parts of his body had grown too big and burst the seems. Dried up blood all over chest and all around his mouth. When he opened his mouth to scream we could see multiple rows of teeth just like a fucking shark.
Martin screamed and stumbled back, slipping and sliding on a pool of blood on the ground. Then, that cannibal fuck leaped right at him like a frenzied wildcat.

It was a good thing I brought my aluminum baseball bat. I just screamed and swung as hard as I could hitting that thing right in the face just as it was about to land on my brother. First there was a hollow sound of metal clashing on bone. Then there was the cracking sounds of that creatures skull as it split open where the bat had hit it.
It landed right next to me, screaming and gurgling up all sortsa nasty shit. I swung again and hit him right in the teeth, cutting the top half of it’s head clean off. I just ripped through that fuckers face like a hot knife through butter.

It spasmed, contracted and then went limp.

I helped Martin up and brushed off some dirt and stale blood. We didn’t speak the rest of the day. We both realized from that moment on that nothing would ever be the same again.

The era of fucked was in full effect and no one was coming to help us.
