June 16th, 2053, 6:15 P.M., 13 towers appeared worldwide in high-population areas, usually cities. The reports state that there was no way for the population in those locations to survive. Each tower was a 34-mile diameter, with a height of 40 thousand feet. Chemical composition unknown. Regenerates from any form of exterior damage. Explosive or pressurized force does not cause any damage to the towers.
In Chongqing, China, the number of deaths is approximately 31.6 million, where the tower appeared. The tower destroyed two hundred planes, approximately 150 people per plane. There were no complete corpses to bury. The gas lines weren't over-pressurized, and soon the home exploded.
City Baghdad, Iraq, 7.7 million deaths approximated. No known Civilian air transportation accidents. Satellite information and verbal reports reveal that governmental powers viewed the tower as a threat, dropping an undisclosed number of nuclear bombs at the tower's location. All civilians in the area had supposedly been evacuated. Named location zero by many governmental bodies, this tower is now a dead zone. Rivaling the radiation zone of Chernobyl. Iraq is last known to have closed all its borders. No one is in only their bodies.
City Tokyo, Japan, 15.6 million deaths approximated. There was a city-wide event bringing tourism on that day. The number of people residing in the city that day can only be speculated. Plane accidents can only be assumed and approximated to be around 600 planes. Bodies were unrecoverable. Three weeks later, a tsunami hit the coast of Japan, nearly flooding part of the country, causing evacuations that lasted several months.
City Beijing, China, 21.9 million approximate deaths. Approximately 167 planes recovered no complete human bodies. Reports state that due to the closeness of the towers, gravity seems to have become unpredictable, from floating objects to dense gravity pockets that sporadically alternate locations between Beijing and Chongqing.
City: Chicago, USA, 2.6 million deaths. The tower pressurized a gas chamber that broke through an underground gas line, exploding several housing blocks in nearby towns. Approximate deaths are unknown. All rubble around the tower was incinerated from uncontained gas fires—the highest toll of injuries caused by the incident. Unknown if the lower population of the city was the reason for the incident, causing higher injury incidents, 9.3 million injured, 2.7 million died from their injuries. The estimate for planes that had taken off was 122 at that time.
City: New York, USA, 8.5 million deaths. Death afterwards unaccounted. State riots had happened after deaths from the tower, and the riots are yet to be fully documented. The Government released the external death toll as 80 thousand dead. The government takes action to satisfy the populace, having already gone through a civil war less than a decade earlier—five hundred planes, as usual, bodies were unrecoverable.
City: Sao Paulo, Brazil, 12.3 million deaths. Approximate deaths are unknown, knowledge restricted by the governing body.
City: Istanbul, Turkey, 15.7 million deaths. Less information is known.
City: Delhi, India, 29 million deaths. The loss of historical sights and the high death toll led to plaques along miles of the tower's walls. They were the first country to memorialize the loss. People in a country of mourning, but after five years, as they didn't close the location off to the public like many other memorials dedicated to it, it became a popular but morbid tourist destination. They estimated and publicly stated that there were 45,613,321 deaths, 7,000 missing, and 10,000 injured survivors who were willing to report their survival during the experience.
City: Kinshasa, DRC, 17 million dead. Most information isn't widely spread.
Island: Bora Bora, French Polynesia. The island has all occupants dead, and any known local population is lost. Reason for emergence unknown.
City: London, England. 8.7 million deceased. The country went into lockdown.
City: Rome, Italy, 3.2 million. Deceased. They also memorialized the tower but restricted access and allowed only outside visitors during certain hours. The rest of the deaths were incalculable due to the tourism that was going on in the city at that time. They never released how many people died before. Evidence shows that the tower was affected by many earthquakes in the area afterward. The incident was documented separately, with total deaths and missing unknown.
One day was all it took for travel locations to become seas of death. The towers affected weather, earthquakes, gas lines, and power plants. The shock wave that went through the world was horrid. So many died, and almost everyone was affected in some way.
[To all survivors, we never thought some of you were this stupid or crafty, so we have no choice but to intervene, or our entertainment will die foolishly. We have altered your planet's chemical reactions, physics, and nuclear fusion. Nuclear waste has been evicted from your planet, air, and nature to allow any form of radiation to be cleared. Those whose actions would have caused the premature demise of your planet have been penalized and punished as we see fit. DO NOT RUIN OUR ENTERTAINMENT, OR THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES!]
Those words were shoved into Anna's head with enough force that it felt like someone was trying to fit her head into a space too small for it. Then something appeared in her vision, making her body feel like her blood ran cold.
It was a white room; the walls, ceiling, and floor were so white it was blinding. A man with straggly hair and dirty skin, he looked Russian. His eyes had a panicked look as he started to yell and scream, making Anna cover her ears. He was loud even though he looked like he hadn't eaten much in weeks. Anna couldn't understand his words, but he started panicking, running over to one of the walls, shouting in Russian.
"pozhaluysta, ya ne khochu umirat; oney ugrozhali moei semye. ya delal to, chto mne govorili. pozvolte mne uyti, chert vozmi. nett! nett! nett! pozhaluysta, a menya yest semya. ya naportacil, izvinite, otpustite menya, otpustite menya otsyuda. ya khochu uvidet svoyu semyu." (Russian scientist)
