The apocalypse arrived on a pink plate. Sashimi, fresh and pristine, its glistening flesh infested with an invisible toll. A day like any other, until the first host took her bite.

"Behind Their Walls Life Begins Anew"

With a promotional campaign funded by the Vatican and hundreds of anonymous investors, the elusive Slovak convent rapidly became a worldwide obsession. For many, the decision to apply felt less like a choice and more like an imperative. Within weeks, over a million individuals had submitted applications. The selection process was managed by an advanced algorithm that prioritized candidates whose DNA profiles were already present in major genealogy databases… It quickly became apparent that admission was reserved for a narrowly defined subset of the population. The so-called ‘sanctuary’, as it turned out, had never truly been intended for the masses. What it sought, quite specifically, were exceptional girls drawn from among the ordinary—the ones who wouldn’t be missed enough.

Nathan would crash at their place even after the lockout. It didn’t matter if Mother was home or off on duty. He was just that kind of guy, always drifting.

By then, the village water supply had been cleared as pathogen-free for nearly a year. Daysy figured he might’ve been selling it to the sick. He always brought little gifts from the city: clothes, toys, stuff like that. He’d stay out all night, then sleep face-down in Mother’s bed all day. They saw his face maybe once or twice a week, usually when he stumbled into the kitchen looking for food.

Less than ten minutes later, Daysy had to stab Nathan in the brain fourteen times. He staggered into the kitchen, mutated beyond recognition, parasite larvae and loose muscle dripping across the floor.

Mother still hadn’t come.

ᗰ ᗩ ᖇ ᖇ Ƴ (18) She quickly became the fathers’ favourite, based on her name alone. As the eldest daughter, she’d grown used to putting her family first. When Mother drove her to the convent, she didn’t shed a single tear. Only after the goodbye hug, once she’d turned away, did the tears come.

She knew it would be the last time they touched. She didn’t yet know it would be the very last time they’d see each other.

It’s a momentous day for the Sisters of the Marian Parthenogenesis, as their convent airs its first live mass, marking a new chapter in their mission. Although the ceremony saw an unexpected interruption when one of the sisters rushed forward and embraced Father Jovián Lodes, the gesture appeared to be one of pure enthusiasm, and the service quickly resumed its course. The successful broadcast is expected to draw hundreds of new girls to the growing order.
