The Killers’ Effect
1st Documentation
Hope is lost
It started on the 2nd of April, 2020, the day after April Fools. The day the world started its revolt. They called it many things, Karma, Guilt, Ghosts. All those words. Not one of them captured the horror. The effect it had on a human mind. On the 2nd of April, 2020 the world changed. Nature itself revolted.
It was first reported in Ireland, Co. Limerick, on a Monday, around 4:09pm, a little boy had killed an entire colony of ants with a garden hose. Exactly 13 minutes later he started screaming. The ants that he had killed came back. From the dead. His family watched in horror as his arms and legs became covered with ants. Tiny black bodies with sharp mandibles pinched him. He felt pain but he had no marks, not one bite. After that day, every Monday at 4:22pm. The ants came. He died at the age of 16. Cause? Suicide.
He was the first one, who suffered from the effect. We called it the Killers’ Effect.
Humanity was unconvinced, they believed it to be a hoax, somebody wanting attention. Youtubers began to challenge others to kill an animal, and see if it happened. They thought it was a bit of fun, because it’s okay to kill an animal. Right? And so it began. The Killers’ Effect appeared every time. Exactly 13 minutes after the murder had been committed.
The first few reports were labelled as an extremely rare mental disease. I bet those scientists. I bet every person would’ve loved if that was true. As soon as the next day after the 2nd of April, the humans, who had held themselves in such a high regard. Believing themselves to be untouchable, invincible. Fell. They fell from a high place up to a deep place down.
The most ironic thing about this was how even as they saw their friends and family succumb to the effect, they kept killing. Nobody stopped. Not one person. Trees were still chopped down. Animals were still hunted. People were still murdered.
The Killer’ Effect was a perfectly engineered weapon. Relying on the one thing humans will never stop doing. Killing.
Of course I can’t say much, I’m haunted by the Effect too. But I thought somebody should record this. So the children of Humanity know exactly who to blame for the world they live in. A world evolved to destroy Humans.

Titled: Hope?
I’m Mandy Florison, I’m a scientist but this isn’t about me. On the 2nd of April, 2020. A horrible disease spread, well it's not exactly a disease it more like an effect, like if you burn your hand you feel pain. This effect causing anything you kill to haunt you. It happened to my older sister. By that time it was still believed that the Effect was fake. My sister accidentally crushed a beetle. Exactly 13 minutes later, a beetle the size of her hand attacked her. It bit off her hand, but as soon as it vanished her hand was reattached. Her pain was immense. It happened every Friday.
Nobody helped her, so I did. I’m very close to reaching a breakthrough, I just need more specimens. I need willing people to help. If I can just attain one subject. We might be able, I’m kind of afraid to say it but we may have it again. Hope again.

Titled: I Have Done It
I did it. I cured them. They’re free of the effect. I just needed one more test subject. I’m so happy she could help. She said they are things worse than death but I don’t think so. I mean, I shouldn’t get distracted I’ve injected the cure into them and the hauntings have stopped. We have hope again.

I was wrong, it didn’t cure them. They’re hauntings stopped. Because I killed them. I thought the cure had worked, I didn’t notice it at first. Wait I can hear them coming, oh Lord. They’re evolving.
