in its wake
#WritcoStoryChallenge
The virus spread far and wide, eliminating everything that stood in its way.The virus, once contained within the walls of a single laboratory, had quickly escaped and spread like a plague through the city and beyond. Its origins shrouded in mystery, its effects unspeakable, the virus had become a force of destruction, leaving nothing but death and decay in its wake.

As the days passed, the world grew darker and more twisted. The once vibrant streets were now empty and desolate, the sky a sickly shade of gray. The few remaining survivors huddled in their homes, praying for a way to stop the virus and return their world to normal.

But it was too late. The virus had mutated beyond recognition, its tendrils reaching into every corner of the world. The trees and plants withered and died, the animals perished, and even the oceans turned black as the virus consumed everything in its path.

Those who dared to venture outside were met with unspeakable horrors. The streets were lined with the bodies of the dead, their flesh twisted and contorted by the virus. Strange, otherworldly creatures roamed the land, their forms shifting and pulsating with an otherworldly energy.

But amidst all the chaos and destruction, there were whispers of a way to stop the virus. A group of scientists, huddled together in a secret bunker, had been working tirelessly to find a cure. They had discovered that the virus was not of this world, that it had been brought to Earth by unknown forces.

The scientists worked day and night, pouring over ancient tomes and grimoires, searching for a way to banish the virus back to the void from whence it came. But their efforts were in vain. The virus was too powerful, too insidious, too far beyond the realm of human understanding.

And so, the world was consumed by darkness. The virus had won, leaving nothing but a barren wasteland in its wake. The few remaining survivors huddled together, praying for a way to escape the horrors that had become their reality. But there was no escape. The virus had claimed them all, and in its wake, only madness and despair remained.
