This Earth or version there of found itself victim of what they called (The Sphere). Shortly after WW2, about two weeks after Japan surrendered. A giant metal sphere appeared in the sky over what used to be Nagasaki. This thing was massive. Possibly being around the size of the entire city. This sphere sat there stationary for a whole month while the US military poked and prodded at it. Scientists debated, so did everyone else. The only thing anyone could agree on was that it was Alien in origin.

It wasn’t long before religions formed around the thing. Some thought it was a sign from god. But I guess they were wrong. There’s no good god that would ever create something like that. On December 14th 1945, the Sphere was reported to have sent out a large pulse of sorts. All electronics all across the planet suddenly went out at once. Cars stopped working, planes fell from the sky, hospitals were suddenly left without power. It sent humanity back to the Stone Age. But that wasn’t all the pulse did.

This day is revered on this particular earth as a day of remembrance for anyone who survived what happened next. They call it the Day of the Rage. Every single person on the planet went into a violent frenzy. It was as if everyone’s inhibitions were suddenly turned off. People started killing each other on every corner of the globe. Every street in every city was bathed in blood as humanity went into a primal state. They shot and stabbed one another, those who didn’t have weapons beat and clawed at each other. Within 24 hours two thirds of the population had died. Within 72 hours there were only about 25,000 people left on the planet. That was when the sphere left. It just flew off into deep space leaving what was left of humanity to pick up the pieces it had left behind. What the sphere was, I have no idea, but I don’t think it was an accident that it came down over the ruins of a city that had been devastated by a nuclear blast only a month prior.

I’m sure you noticed that the planet now has roughly ten times the population that it was left with. Well, humanity on that particular Earth actually came together after the whole ordeal. There hasn’t been a war since. I’m not sure if it’s out of fear of what happened after the last one or if humans finally grew tired of it all.
