The Unavoidable Taint: by Pain Gene: 1

Famine... It is easy to reason about famine when you know that there is a refrigerator in your kitchen, opening which you can always reach out a hand and take whatever you want, and you know that you have the opportunity to go to the supermarket to replenish your supplies or order home delivery when you are too lazy to even open the refrigerator. But what to do when there is no food left? Not left at all. No one has any left. Everything that could be plundered has already been plundered. Everything that could be killed in the forest has been killed. Everything that lived in the water has died out. There is one resource left, and you think that there is so much of this resource, as much as eight billion. But when you realize that the time has come for cannibalism, and that you are now seen only as a resource, like a living can of food. What do you feel? You feel animal fear, despair, panic, hopelessness. And you understand that the time has come when it's either you or them. And then all the dogmas of 'don't kill, don't steal' fade away. And you cry out to Him in despair. Lord, why? But as always, there is no answer. And so you set out on your first hunt, which you will never forget. "The Unavoidable Taint" is an inspiring story about the struggle for life in a world deprived of the future. Striking with its profound immersion into the inner world of the main character and the reality surrounding her.
