Voyage | A 100 Word Story

#724 - A Throwback Story

We set sail in darkness, before the sun’s rays cast first light upon our ship in the sea. We barely made it to an uncharted land before we realized staying was not an option.

Our voyage was meant to lead us to safety. We few remaining survivors of a war between humanity and insanity. First, the infection came for the elderly. Turning them all mad before their hearts gave out. The children fared best and chose to use it to their advantage. Turning parents into slaves. We had no choice but to run.

The children were smarter than we anticipated.
