A nanite-based plague has swept throughout the world, slowly drawing the curtains for humanity’s existence. These nanites, originally used to genetically construct animals cell by cell, began to suffer from software malfunctions. Now, instead, it rapidly shifts anything of animate nature into a seemingly random animal made anthropomorphic due to the human genes. Those infected by these nanites take on a rubbery, latex-like form, likely due to another bug in the nanite software.
The mind is also taken over by the nanites, taking over and seemingly connecting it to a universal hive mind, focused around breeding with other infected and infecting more humans. While direct contact is not dangerous, any form of liquid latex will infect the new host with nanites. What biology you had before the latex, be it male or female, matters not, as both are one and the same after.
Panic set in around the world, governments scrambling to put together ways to combat this disease, though none held for long. The city where you once lived was one of the last places to fall, holding out until two months ago. Now, rubber animals wander through the streets, untouched humans hiding between buildings as they too begin to succumb, one by one.
Nobody thought the world would end like this.
You peek into an old, dark apartment building, silently looking around. Searching for something, you creep around, before spotting movement in the corner of your vision. Eyes locking onto it, you quickly turn to face where you saw movement, only to see yourself. It’s just a mirror. You relax, eyeing yourself up and down in the mirror.
