Prologue

One day someone coughed on the tube. Within six months, billions were dead.

A long time ago a virus gripped the world and brought mankind to its knees. Ninety-nine percent of the global population were struck down, leaving just us. The Good were taken to Heaven by the sickness, nicknamed The Rapture Flu, while the Unworthy were left to suffer the horrendous fever and the loss of their friends, family and neighbours. Denied entry to Paradise.

We are all the Unworthy and all we can do is work to be saved.

Or at least that's what we were told.
