The young boy stepped forward unnoticed, leaving the terror-stricken crowd behind him. Before them stood five giants with anatomies comprised of living, impenetrable stone. They were colossal and profoundly muscular. Towering over everyone at around 16 feet tall, their heads seemed to touch the sky.

It wasn’t until he had placed both feet on the platform that he heard his mother’s scream and turned to look. “NO!” she cried, tears already streaming down her face as his father yanked her back into his arms. “But he’s only six!” she bawled. “He’s just a boy!” But the chime of the platform had already rung out.

The Day the Box Came
I remember the day the box came to us. All of us. It was the year 2026. Sixty years ago. I was 5 years old. Things had gotten really bad back then.

For the next few weeks, new intel was daily released to the world. This intel was irrefutable proof of the existence of cures to every fatal ailment previously known to be incurable. That’s when the Sick Wars started.
