Plague of Pythons
'Plague of Pythons' Summary
After the collapse of civilization due to a catastrophic military self-destruction, the world grapples with a horrifying plague. This affliction takes control of its victims, driving them to commit unspeakable acts. Chandler, a victim of the plague himself, is forced to flee his community and branded a 'Hoaxer' - a perpetrator falsely claiming to be infected. Driven by an insatiable desire for answers, Chandler embarks on a perilous journey to find the source of the plague. He soon discovers a shocking truth: the plague's origin isn't a virus or a natural phenomenon but a sinister technological manipulation. This realization throws Chandler into a complex ethical struggle. He is forced to confront the agonizing choice of exposing the truth and risking the potential for mass chaos or remaining silent to protect the fragile semblance of order that remains. "Plague of Pythons" is a thought-provoking exploration of societal control, moral responsibility, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of insurmountable odds. The story delves into the intricacies of guilt and redemption, questioning the nature of truth and the price of survival in a world where the lines between right and wrong have blurred.Book Details
