Furrpocalypse

(The following text includes a translation from wolf written language found many years later on a deep forest (formerly an important city). Nobody knows the author or even what happened to them. First, everyone considered it was a late vestige of humankind, but some clues hint it may be an early writting from wolfman species. Probably including their mate's memories from the events, already vanishing, irregular with no clear continuity)* Humanity finally undid itself. The war that indeed ended all wars had asolated the world in just 5 days. No alliances, no common enemies... Just many constant wars all over. Small conflicts apparently unrelated... but soon sawimg a tapestry of famine, destruction and seeking for refuge. The problem was that there was noone helping, noone to run to. Refugees came across more refugees running on the opposite direction. Requests for help were met with identical requests. But then someone decided they could solve it all. They launched a chemical bomb, a single one, on the upper atmosphere, but the wind would make it's effects be noticed all over the world. No government would ever assume the responsability. Noone would dare to admit they spread a chemical bomb which effects were unknown... and catastrophic... without having a way to reverse it. And when the effects started taking place... they ran out of time quite fast. First ones affected were the animals, probably because of their simpler systems. They started showing erratic behaviours, and they seem to coordinate even between different species. Scientist started studying this, but the problems kept growing, and the creatures seemed to learn from the ones studying them, waiting for something. Their legs grew stronger, and then they took another step... literally. First one who was announced officialmy was a male cat. He stood on his back legs for two minutes before falling down. It was a shock... but soon bigger, longer walks hsppened. It started becoming a new usual. Later, we'd see their bodies transformed, becoming more humanoid, stronger... But by then there were way bigger worries. It all started with elder people. Dementia and other mind illnesses started spareading wide among them. Losing memories was the first symptom... but we all thought it was Alzheimer. Then came speech unability, they'd only communicate through grounts and other noises. But on that first stage they still were able to understand language, to communicate even by other means. The next step was surprising, they got more agile, younger looking. It seemed they were improving... but it was just another symptom. Their bodies were now athletic slim, even better than when they were young. It seemed there was some good coming from the illness after all. Maybe they could isolate the physical changes as they got rid of the mind ones? There was a secondary eeffect on their bodies that made them be unsure. They were growing smaller, both in height and strength, becoming weak and feeble. But all their plans didn't matter. The effects were spreading, from elder people they started affecting them at a younger age, and it kept advancing. Soon all people over 50 were unable to communicate. Elder care system was unable to take care of the problem, there were to many. Some were abandonned or had autanasia at the first symptoms. But then it got worse as their behaviour became feral, out of control or decency. The last witnesses from people taking care of them show that sex among them was a constant... And there was no chance to confirm it, but they swear hey saw early sign of pregnancies on some of the women. It was by then that physical transformations began. First the animals got more... human like, developping almost human faces, arms and hand. Pets stopped obeying humans and ran away. Colonies were reported. Not formed just by one specie, but all enemies seemed to be allying. Dogs, cats and minces were in harmony. Even those animals eating meat weren't attacking for food (they were savaging from human food), but nobody noticed by then). But this caught little interest among humans. They were too worried with their involution to care about other species. Human features on the people affected were distorting, growing more... animal like. It was them thy discovered not everyoen would suffer the same. It wasn't just them turning into dogs, cats lr whatever... They discovered bunnoes, rat, horses, even some lion features. Humankind was involving into some beastkind. But as it kept growing, reaching everyone over 40... the chaos was out of control. Most of adult population were already suffering memory losses, growing feral. Nobody seemed able to communicate with them, to make them relax or come into reason and the werr becoming weak, feeble, unable to survive on their own. And tje beast traits were becoming more and more usual. The young people were terrified, they were okay, but at sime point they may reach the age... or worse it would spread among younger people. And so it happened, after some years, everyone reaching 18 years old would gradually lose their bodies and minds and become ferak beasts, driven by lust.
