Chap 19 - Cities Fall

She stared at something, a red light flashed on and off on her face. Something in Jason intrigued her. A combination of the learned and the instinctual magnetized her in a primitive way. Who was she to deny the beast within herself? She let go of his arms and stepped back, her eyes still fixed on his. She slowly ran her fingers over her body and let them fall to her side. In a deliberate and sensuous motion, she ran her fingers over her body, revealing a feminine perfection that captivated Jason. The electric charge between them heightened as she beckoned him closer. Jason, entranced, couldn’t deny the allure any longer. He caught her by the throat, his grip both possessive and intimate, and tilted her head up for a deep, devouring kiss

She purred to beckon him to join her. The heat wafting for her visibly distorted and shimmering under her intense temperature. The refracted light caused an electric sensation within Jason’s extreme arousal.

“She’s rather pretty.” Jason rumbled.

“She’s going to smack you if you keep calling her 'she\.”

His hand caught her by her throat, and his other gripped her chin. With a deft flick, he tilted her head up and kissed her. Jason stepped forward, unable to deny her any longer. He embraced her, his animal instincts taking over as he allowed himself to explore and devour her.

“I can smell your testosterone.”

“As I can smell your arousal.”

They moved together, in perfect harmony, until the world melted away and they were consumed by their passion.

As the heat of their passionate embrace lingered in the air, Jason and Supatra finally broke away, their lips still connected as they looked into each other’s eyes. A gentle breeze blew, and a soft smile spread across Supatra’s face as she looked back at Jason. Her eyes, still fixed on his, reflected a mix of primal desire and something more profound. The red light that flashed intermittently on her face added a surreal touch to the moment, heightening the intensity of their connection. The intimate bubble plunged into a dystopian darkness.

The sky above boiled with an ominous reddish-orange glow, staining the heavens in a hellish crimson. The stage was set for an impending apocalypse, as the landscape below became a feeding ground for swarming insects. An eerie hum rose from the outskirts of the city, infiltrating every inch of the landscape like an angry roar from the heavens. The relentless buzzing of millions of wings drowned all other sounds as the insects and hungry creatures gorged themselves on death. The air reeked of a sickly-sweet stench mingling with acrid smoke, rising from the charred vehicles and shattered trees consumed by fire. Roiling thick smoke obscured the broken pieces of corpses strewn along the roads, forming a morbid parade on the city’s outskirts. Dark splotches of dry blood painted the ground, and fires raged, forming a gruesome parade leading toward the highway. In this macabre landscape, a feral werewolf burst forth, its fur twisted and clotted with fresh blood, ready to unleash primal fury upon a world drowning in darkness. It snarled and bared its teeth, its eyes wild with rage. With a howl, the werewolf charged forward, ready to wreak havoc on anyone who dared to stand in its way.

Stretching across the vast expanse of the highway, a formidable mass of a thousand werewolves advanced with relentless determination, akin to an apocalyptic swarm of locusts descending upon a metropolis. At the forefront of this formidable pack, the weakest are mercilessly thrust forward of the malevolent army, a sacrificial vanguard destined to bear the brunt of the forthcoming chaos. Their fur, a wild cascade of tangled strands, billowed, and danced in wild wind, while suffocating clouds of swirling dust rose from the earth beneath their feet, as if the very ground quake in trepidation from their menacing approach.

A solitary, wayward tuft of hair danced in the grip of a gust. Its strands trembled like ethereal threads in invisible hands. Broken free of confinement, it pirouetted and twirled, defying gravity’s grasp. Its liberation allowed a momentary escape. Each filament of hair on the airborne wisp was illuminated like spun charcoal, a brief display of glimmery grace. As the wind’s embrace weakened, the tuft succumbed, descending to the ground, leaving behind a trace of its transient journey.

This wasn’t an ordinary hair follicle, but a tiny colony of fungal bacterial enzymes -- and it was exponentially growing in numbers. Each time a blood cell touches the bacterium membrane, the cell is devoured and transformed.

Once, the world was ordinary. Humans held dominion over the land, and where the boundaries between reality and myth were defined. In the heart of a bustling city, people went about their daily lives with blissful ignorance. The sunbathed the streets, life unfolded with vibrant energy and ceaseless motion. Towering skyscrapers reached towards the sky, their glass facades reflecting the crowded world below. People hurried along the sidewalks, their footsteps blending with a symphony of honking horns, animated conversations, and the hum of machinery.

The city’s pulse beat with a rhythm, its alleys and boulevards teeming with activity. Sidewalk shops are filled with patrons. Jumbled conversation filled the air, creating an atmosphere of human normalcy. Businesses thrived in this urban tapestry. Glass-fronted shops beckoned with their arranged merchandise in dazzling displays. Office buildings hummed with the buzz of professionals, their determined footsteps echoing in the corridors.

Amidst this bustling metropolis, life carried on, oblivious to the encroaching darkness. Laughter filled the air as children played in parks, their innocent voices mingling with the parents and caregivers. Couples strolled hand in hand, soaking in the city’s ambiance of the urban canvas. Underneath the city noise, outside the ignorant arrogance of the people, a distant echo of thunderous steps built a subtle unease among the unsuspecting populace.

Beyond the city’s edge, more than a thousand feral werewolves are driven by an insatiable hunger to advance from the suburbs and fields. Their presence, reminiscent of an apocalyptic swarm of locusts, grew with each passing moment. An elephantine swirl of dust and smoke billowed into thick clouds, obscuring the horizon as the ground trembled beneath their advancing paws.

People began to pause mid-stride, casting furtive glances at their surroundings. Some sensed something they could not put their finger on. Sensing an inexplicable disturbance in the air. Whispers of unease began to spread like wildfire through the streets, drawing attention from traveling cars, bus riders, and store fronts.

A distant rumble grew steadily louder. Is it the subway train? A low flying airplane? Construction in action? Curiosity gave way to concern, and concern to mounting fear. There were a handful of dumb-asses denying the impending doom. Voices clashed amidst the backdrop of the bustling streets. More and more people vehemently denied any threat existed. Blinded by skepticism and a desire to maintain their sense of normalcy, they brushed aside any notion of impending doom as mere exaggeration or mental health crisis. They dismissed the warnings as fear-mongering or political ideology, firmly rooted in their convictions. Despite this, more and more individuals began to believe that imminent danger was encroaching. People sensing the rumble on earth fervently argued for swift action, in stark contrast to the deniers. Their impassioned pleas fell upon deaf ears, their urgent cries for attention drowned out by the din of daily life. Disheartened and frustrated, they watched as their warnings were met with skepticism and indifference.

Countless people began to run with urgency. Their legs pumped with tension and fright.

Mounting fear pushed away any curiosity. Within minutes, first glimpses of the approaching horde came into view. Eyes widened in disbelief as the once-distant mass of fur, claws, and fangs loomed closer, relentlessly, and unyielding. Panic ensued, causing the rhythm of daily life to falter and fracture. Frantic phone calls were made, and desperate pleas for help were uttered to authorities who struggled to comprehend the magnitude of the advancing tsunami of werewolves. The encroaching menace caused the air to grow heavy with primal energy. a palpable tension that hung like a thick shroud over the trembling city. Sirens wailed in the distance, their piercing cries blending with the cacophony of terrified screams and the chorus of howls carried on the wind.

Chaos erupted as people scrambled for safety, seeking refuge within the confines of offices, vehicles and stores. In the midst of the chaos, a brave few ventured out, driven by an instinctual need to bear witness to the unfolding catastrophe. They stood, trembling, eyes wide with disbelief and hearts pounding in their chests. The relentless tide of werewolves pressed forward, unyielding, and unstoppable. The city, once a sanctuary of ordinary life, is now a struggle for survival against a tide of teeth and fury. The very fur carries the vector for the feral fungal enzyme to make more attackers within hours and days.

Each feral creature possessed a relentless determination, fueled by a desire to feast, which drove them to unleash havoc upon the world. The moment of reckoning arrived, and the consequences of their collective disbelief unfolded before their eyes. The chilling scent of dread arrived like a storm rolling in from the horizon.

Ferals - transformed werewolves - descended on the city like a lava flow, relentless and determined. Their sheer numbers blotted out cars, casting the metropolis into an eerie cacophony of furious howls mingled with the distant cries of the city’s terrified residents.

Panic ensued as the first line of defense crumbled before the onslaught. Unleashing their fury, the werewolves tore through barricades and buildings alike, leaving devastation in their wake. The city’s streets ran red with terror and blood as the once-calm urban landscape transformed into a battlefield of nightmares.
