The Fog

The fog is a mysterious and deadly force that has appeared in the coastal town of Kingsmouth, New England. It arrived without warning, creeping in and out, bringing death and destruction in its wake. The origins of the fog are unknown, with various theories circulating among the townsfolk. Some believe it to be a bio-chemical weapon being tested by the government, while others see it as divine punishment for the town's hidden sins. The Wabanaki tribe, an indigenous group with a long history in the area, believe the fog is the tool of a hidden malevolence in Solomon County, and that hope lies in an ancient warding circle that has protected the area for centuries.

The fog followed the return of a lost fishing vessel, the Lady Margaret, and its crew had a story to tell of a graveyard of ships and a red seaweed cloaca that birthed the fog. The fog did not stay long, but it left behind a trail of death and destruction. Cars sat running, dinners cooled, and playground roundabouts spun empty as the people calmly walked into the cold water. The fog wrapped around the island, and fog and silence held illimitable dominion over all.

A scant few souls escaped the fog by chance. On trembling feet, they stepped out and saw their town turned into a nightmare painting - an un-still life in waterlogged meat. In the empty streets, silence turned to sobs, sobs to shrieks. Those who vanished with the fog returned as the shambling dead. Some of the living stood transfixed by the rotting stench, as their loved ones tore them to pieces.

Though the generations and fast food dilutes you, some of your species still have a spark of instinct. Some survived, fortified, showed ingenuity, and became cold killers of the undead. But as much as they fight back, there is no escape, not by land, air, or sea. The fog chokes all who try to leave - electronics failure...inevitable - nervous system failure...inevitable - suffocation...inevitable. Flight is impossible. Fight is possible. For a while.

The island is deaf and blind. The world outside no longer exists. We now gaze at this wondrous petri dish, a vertical slice of isolated humanity. What will it breed? The only variable is you, sweetling, those with the anima to walk here by the Agartha paths. What will you do?
