#WritcoStoryPrompt56 BY @jasmineshri....

A mysterious disease killed 95% of all humans. You survived by keeping to yourself and being alone. One day, you found a woman stuck under some rubble. She calls for your help and promptly does so. What happened next is up to what you will write....

The world had changed drastically in the past few years. A mysterious disease had spread rapidly and with no cure in sight, it wiped out 95% of the human population. The survivors were scattered and living in fear, constantly on the move to avoid being infected.

Among the survivors was a man named Jack. He had lost his family to the disease and ever since, he had been living a solitary life, keeping to himself and avoiding human contact at all costs. He had built himself a small shelter in the middle of a forest and lived off the land, away from the chaos and destruction.

One day, while scavenging for supplies, Jack stumbled upon a woman who was stuck under some rubble. She was weak and barely conscious. Jack was hesitant to approach her, but something about her made him go closer. He carefully moved the rubble and helped her out. She introduced herself as Sarah and explained that she had been travelling with a group of survivors who were attacked by looters. She was the only one who managed to escape, but got trapped under the rubble.

As Sarah regained her strength, Jack noticed something strange about her. She seemed immune to the disease, showing no symptoms at all. Jack couldn't believe it, could there really be a cure? He had to find out more about Sarah and her mysterious immunity.

Over the next few days, Jack and Sarah grew close. She shared her story with him and revealed that she was a scientist who had been working on a cure for the disease. In a twist of fate, she had accidentally injected herself with the cure, making her immune to the disease.

Together, Jack and Sarah started working towards finding a way to mass produce the cure and save the remaining population. They faced many challenges and dangers, but their determination and teamwork paid off. They were able to develop the cure and distribute it to the survivors, effectively stopping the spread of the disease.

Jack and Sarah became known as heroes, and their story inspired hope in a world that had lost it. They were no longer alone, as they had found companionship and purpose in each other. Together, they proved that even in the darkest times, there is always a glimmer of hope.
