The Blight Infection || 1800s
“FOR THE KING AND COUNTRY!!!!!”
The world had ended not with a bang, but with a groan. The first reports from the front lines of the Russo-Turkish War had been dismissed as fever dreams or the exaggerations of shell-shocked soldiers—tales of the wounded rising, of enemies continuing to fight long after their hearts had stopped. But the groans had traveled west, carried on the wind and in the bellies of supply ships, and the Blight had seeped into the soil of Europe like a poison. It was in the autumn, as Napoleon’s Grande Armée retreated from the ashes of Moscow, that the dead truly began to walk. The burning of the city had not purged the infection; it had aerosolized it, sending spores of damnation across the continent. Now, from the frozen steppes of Russia to the rain-slicked cobbles of London, the groaning chorus was a constant, dreadful hum beneath the screams of the living.
