The Imphinity Principle: Virus

Thol

Life is pretty great, if I'm being honest. School is a breeze ever since the government started making high school more like college. You know, certain classes at different times and only on certain days, things like that. I have some amazing friends that will always have my back, what could go wrong?

"Now, I know just how much you all have been dreading this for the entire semester, but now we are going to be moving on from rotary motion all the way to-" there was a one long groan from the entire class. "Well in that case I won't say it, but that doesn't mean it isn't happening! Today, if time permits, we will go ahead and begin learning about gravity. Why don't you all go ahead and get out your journals, we will begin by taking notes."

Mrs. Alpha paused a moment while the class unhappily searched for something to take the notes on. And just as everyone managed to get their journals out, the bell rang. Another groan arose from our class. "Oh goodness, I hadn't realized it was time to go yet. Ah well, we will begin notes on Monday, have a good weekend everyone!"

After class, two of my good friends, Kyle and Blake, ran up to me in a frantic hurry.

"Hey Thol! Wait up a minute! You walk too damn fast." Kyle yells as he catches up to me. It is true though, I do walk kind of fast. "You have Mr. Herron at like, 2:30 right? Can Blake and I copy your homework? We were up all night last night doing this dumbass project for Mrs. Alpha." The project is due tomorrow. We got it four weeks ago.

"Actually, I got my schedule changed. I decided to pick up advanced sociology, now I have Herron at 12 with y'all. You guys know you only have like 10 minutes to copy it right?"

"It will be nine if you keep on yappin, come on man help us out!" Blake practically yelled. He has always been kind of a jokester. I agreed to let them copy my homework, and honestly it didn't take them all that long. We got to Mr. Herron's class with plenty of time to spare, but not five minutes into his lecture about his third ex-wife (it's actually a psychology class but we just let him ramble) people start freaking out.

"Hey, Mr. Herron? Can you turn on the TV? Something big is happening." A girl in the back yelled worriedly. This girl is kind of known for being a badass, so if she sounds worried we all are screwed.

Mr. Herron turned on the TV and we were greeted with every station being some sort of news cast, all talking about how hundreds of adults in Australia are dying. Some are saying its some sort of virus, but whatever it is, it's making people drop like flies. But it seems like kids aren't affected.

After watching the news for about 10 minutes the screen got really glitchy and all the channels got cut off. Shortly after that the infamous crest of Morvar appeared on the screen: bones in the shape of a rose. That was when all hell broke loose. People were flipping out, screaming and gasping left and right.

And it was like Morvar knew that was going to happen, because after a minute passed a member of Morvar appeared on the screen. "Hello, people of the world. I understand that you all believe that the viral crisis in Australia is a more pressing situation than whatever it is that Morvar has to say, but let me be clear when I say that that situation was our doing. That situation, was a warning to the rest of you, to know that what I say next, I mean." The member said. It was so quiet when he stopped talking that I could hear my own and Kyle's, who was sitting next to me, heartbeat.

"My colleagues were against me giving this statement, but I convinced them that it was only fair to all of you to hear it. In one month's time we will release this virus to the rest of the world, and it will be the demise to all persons who have reached the age of 18 years and six months. Let this be a warning to all adults, to get your affairs in order and to leave this place. For only once all adults are gone, may the teenage predecessors of Morvar initiate the purpose of all of this madness. I wish you all a good luck, and a good day. Sincerely, Morvar." And with that, it went just as quickly as it came.
