  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

June 9th: Of the original four dozen, over 75% are now deceased. Strangely, no clear patterns have emerged as of yet.

Batch 5 seems to have no common discernible effect on any specific group though the men seem slightly more resilient than the women.

June 18: And only five left now. Two men and three women.

The man in room five is a fascinating case. Physically, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with him. No cellular anomalies, nothing.

December 24th: I was in the mess. It was about half past ten when we heard the first explosion.

The ones at the front ran straight into the gas. It was horrible.

It was the man in room five. I couldn't have known. The chemical supplies, grease solvents, ammonia, fertilizer. He'd been making things with them.

Mustard gas... And napalm.

And in the yard, I saw him. He had the flames behind him. He was naked.

He looked at me...

As if I were an insect. Oh god. As if I were something mounted on a slide.

He looked at me.
