ArHi FF: An Anatomy of Angst [Complete] Interlude #1 14/Aug - Page 9

I won't even attempt to do a commentary on this one...whatever I say about your powerful writing would sound completely inadequate and juvenile...

I don't know how accurate it is but here, it does seem Nietzsche was right, "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger."

Till I actually read Nietzsche, I thought it was from a fortune cookie. :D

Also, caramel, chocolate, Bournvita, whisky, brandy, honey and now cinnamon. Arnav officially owns the most delicious eyes. 😆

It also is muddy, marshy, bromide, rotting meat, cured leather, bark of a tree... but we don't want darling Arnav to be anything that's unpleasant now, do we? 😊

I am not spamming, just making different posts for saying different things on the same thread.

From angst to apocalypse, the story has changed its course. I'll first talk about from parts 1 to 4 (till you hadn't decided to have fun with this), there was end of world or apocalypse in each one of it. It were the protagonists' personal apocalypses.

For a little 8 year old boy to obediently push his mother into the well, with that there came an end to something and someone that comprised his world. To realize what he had done later, meant another apocalypse.

For a little girl to one day realize, her parents weren't her "own", a little world comes to an end. When she'll wake up the next day with that realization, it would be a different world.

The party, the broken wedding. The hospital. People were lost, so were tears. And they had met. World had once again turned over.

Its an interesting way to look at this (I hadn't!). World keeps changing intrinsically. Only now its physically going for a massive change..

Would an apocalypse succeed in inverting the Maslow's pyramid after all? Back to the basic physiological needs? Is that where this is headed - the exchange for sure has been stripped of the more "evolved" emotions, has it not?

Not inverting but starting over.

They are back to tier one and tier two. The situation is fairly complex because people need to ascertain the first layer all over again with an already established top layer. Transitioning to a dystopian society is an excellent study and fairly difficult to come up with.

Changed the name to apocalypse?

09. The second wave

Crisis starts small, like a ripple in the ocean. But its expansion is explosive. Before you know, the bubble is a twenty foot wave.

The infection was of the brain. The virus took human brain as its hostage and started to control the body. There was no predictable model for infection. Some people woke up infected while some continued to be fine. An infected human attacked an uninfected one to push parasite via bloodstream. Infected ones were no longer humans. Calling them zombies would be a clich.

Unfortunately, that's what they were.

It was now two months since the outbreak.
