== Chapter 4: Biological Weapons and War == | == Chapter 4: The Cost of Food == | ||
As disease and betrayal swept across the land, the collapse of economies soon followed. Food prices skyrocketed, leaving even the most basic staples out of reach for many. Alan, who had always shared what little he had, found himself rationing his own dwindling supplies. | |||
One evening, desperate to find sustenance, Alan ventured into a black market rumored to operate in the shadows of an abandoned subway tunnel. The air was thick with fear and desperation. Traders bartered for stale bread and expired cans of food, demanding exorbitant payments in jewelry, tools, and whatever else people could offer. | |||
Alan saw desperation turn violent. A man lunged at a trader for a loaf of bread, only to be beaten by a group of others vying for the same item. Alan whispered a prayer under his breath as he slipped away with a small bag of rice he had managed to trade for a pocket knife. | |||
“Wheat will rise so high,” he murmured, quoting the warnings of Nostradamus, “that man will eat his neighbor.” Alan prayed that prophecy wouldn’t come to pass, but the hollow eyes and gaunt faces around him told a different story. Hunger was driving people to madness, and humanity was slipping into a state of primal survival. | |||
== Chapter 5: Biological Weapons and War == | |||
The whispers of biological warfare became grim reality. A devastating weapon unleashed chaos on a scale Alan could hardly comprehend. Cities were wiped out, their populations erased in moments. Alan stumbled upon the aftermath of such destruction and faced the horrifying truth: humanity was turning against itself in unimaginable ways. | The whispers of biological warfare became grim reality.

By autumn, the sky itself became an enemy. A fiery trail announced the arrival of an asteroid, its impact shaking the earth and triggering tsunamis and earthquakes. Alan and a small group of survivors huddled together, clinging to their faith as the heavens seemed to fall around them. | By autumn, the sky itself became an enemy.

The seals were broken. The Great Tribulation descended in full force, marked by war, famine, disease, and betrayal. Alan, leading a group of exiles in the wilderness, became a beacon of hope for the faithful.
