Genius Virus

Dr. Robert Mathers had always been obsessed with the idea of creating a virus that could change the world. He spent years in his lab, tinkering with different strains of bacteria and viruses, trying to find the perfect combination that would unlock the secrets of the human genome.

One day, he stumbled upon a strain of bacteria that seemed to have the ability to alter human DNA. He was ecstatic, convinced that he had finally found the key to his ultimate creation. He spent months refining the strain, testing it on animals and watching as it transformed them into something new and monstrous.

But there was one thing that Dr. Mathers hadn't counted on: the virus was highly contagious. It spread quickly, infecting people all over the city and turning them into mindless, savage creatures.

At first, people tried to ignore the signs, dismissing the rumors as nothing more than hysteria. But as the virus continued to spread, it became impossible to deny the truth. The government declared a state of emergency, and people were ordered to stay inside their homes and wait for help to arrive.

But help never came.

As the days turned into weeks, the virus continued to ravage the city, turning it into a post-apocalyptic wasteland. The streets were filled with the moans of the infected, and the air was thick with the stench of death.

Dr. Mathers was one of the lucky ones. He had managed to barricade himself inside his lab, along with a handful of his assistants. They had everything they needed to survive: food, water, and the promise of a cure that would save them all.

But as time passed, Dr. Mathers became increasingly paranoid. He refused to let anyone leave the lab, convinced that they would become infected if they ventured outside. He monitored their every move, watching for signs of infection and punishing anyone who showed the slightest symptom.

His assistants tried to reason with him, telling him that they needed to find a way to help the people outside. But Dr. Mathers wouldn't listen. He was convinced that he was the only one who could save the world, and that everyone else was expendable.

As the weeks turned into months, the people outside the lab began to die off, one by one. The infected became more and more aggressive, attacking anyone who crossed their path. The streets were littered with corpses, and the few survivors who remained were barely hanging on.

Inside the lab, Dr. Mathers continued his work, oblivious to the suffering outside. He was close to creating a cure, he could feel it. He worked day and night, fueled by his obsession and his need to be the hero of his own story.

But in the end, it was all for nothing. The virus had mutated beyond his control, and the cure he had created only made things worse. The infected became even more savage, more monstrous than before.

And then, one day, the lab was breached. The infected broke through the barricades and poured into the lab, tearing apart everything in their path. Dr. Mathers was the last one standing, his once-brilliant mind reduced to a twisted, paranoid wreck.

As the infected closed in around him, Dr. Mathers realized the truth: he had been the one responsible for the end of the world. His obsession with his own genius had blinded him to the consequences of his actions, and now the world was paying the price.

In the end, Dr. Mathers was consumed by the virus he had created, reduced to nothing more than a mindless, savage creature. The lab fell silent, the last remnants of a once-great civilization swallowed up by the darkness of their own creation.
