X
The Life Syrum
After the war, the world’s people were relieved that conflict was over. That was, of course, until the sickness started. Authorities were alerted and doctors worked relentlessly to produce a cure but people were becoming infected daily. The painful infection worsened constantly but slowly making for a long painful end of life. No Relief seemed possible until Medicine X was discovered. X was quickly put into circulation. The syrum kept the infection from worsening and seemed to stop infection in people who had not yet contracted it.
Their seems, however, to be no cure for those who have already been affected; and the pill must be taken daily. Shortages cause wars between factions as everyone is trying to stay medicated. Factions and individuals fight for control of stockpiles, distribution, and even manufacture of this life syrum.
X is the new worlds diamond. Blood feuds for control are caused by or because of this medicine. Some fight for freedom but the battle over this syrum may thrust us back into dictatorships and life as it was in the dark ages. The world needs help. Pick a side or deal with the consequences.
