Day 1,147

The end of the world began, as all things did, with plenty of blood. It was found by farmers in their remote fields, their crops crushed and smothered as if a massacre had occurred yet no bodies were ever recovered and no new missing persons were reported. In fact, since the first of these incidents and on a global scale, nobody was reported missing.

None of the missing returned from wherever they'd been stolen away to but they were not joined. A few theorisers claim that the original blood came from these missing people, not that any testing confirmed the owners of the blood or even that the blood was human. It was declared "humanoid" and nothing more was said to the public.

Behind closed doors, as such discussions invariably occur, it was believed that a new species of ape had been discovered. Something too human to be ape but too ape to be human and overall quite a disturbing sight for the average person. It only made sense that the farmers would have shot at them and disposed of any corpses they created.

Still, proof evaded them, the blood spread from the middle of nowhere to right in the heart of the world leader's homes and it was just the first sign of a world that was now spiralling into its death throes with every passing day just one less gasp of air to fill billions of fragile lungs.

The end of the world continued, as few things do, with a series of impossible corpses washing ashore.
