I would consider myself the average guy. I don't try to stand out, I'm not particularly good at any one thing, and I don't really have many goals and aspirations that are out of my reach. In all honesty, I live a very comfortable life.

I play video games, read, and enjoy the presence of other people from time to time. Most of my time is spent at work and the money is usually eaten by bills and our favorite “Uncle”. But there's nothing to complain about.

But on one particular day, everything seemed to turn itself upside down. You see, there was talks of a new disease coming through that didn't happen naturally. Or at least, that's what was speculated. I for one am a firm believer that the earth was trying to preform a hard reset.

I digress. The disease quickly became known as the Mutaginic disease. The details are a bit blurry, but the long run of it is that it changes your physical structure to that of animals or abominations. Sometimes you get power, sometimes you're stuck with wings that don't work. It all just depends.

But in order to save some of humanity, thousands of people were chosen to be out under to try and out sleep this new disease. They made a bunch of us sign papers and waivers to try and be the last of humanity and all that.

When I was approached, I couldn't believe it. But I gladly accepted despite the fact that I wouldn't see my friends and family anymore. And when the day came where everything came to a head, we were put to sleep and made to wait.

So.... Why is it that when I wake up, everyone is gone and there is a horse staring at me with wonder?

This is a one shot that's been going on in my mind. If anybody wants to see this continued if it receives enough appeal, I'll consider it.
