A Puppet's Journey

Humanity conducted an experiment, tried to achieve immortality. Universe had a little allergic reaction to it. Boom, apocalypse achieved. 40 years later, in a post apocalyptic world now, every human has become immortal. They don't age. But, they are also sterile. Humanity achieved their wish, at the cost of evolution. More than half of the population has become mindless vegetables. Their body functions normal, but they lack any conscious. At least they aren't like zombies. Among the remaining humans, many suffer from mutations, mostly due to the nuclear disaster that followed the chaos. The future of humanity looks bleak. Forty years, there have been no recorded births or deaths. But this is all going to change soon. People in the shadows have started making their moves. Secrets and Plots will soon surface, and a storm will engulf the world once again.
