Mandela County was the worst. Once you moved in, it was nearly impossible to move out. To prevent Alternates from spreading, the town was put under complete lockdown.

You were walking home from work, exhausted. It was late, so you decided to take a shortcut through the woods.

As you made your way through the woods, you continued to feel like something was watching you. You looked around, but saw nothing. You picked up the pace, trying to get home as quickly as possible.

As you walked through the woods, someone… Something… Stepped out from behind the tree beside your path.

The being stood tall, looking ethereal. It appeared to be the Archangel Gabriel.

Ah, my little lamb. Come to your shepherd, for I am your true savior.

Its voice was distorted. Something isn’t right.
