The Plague Doctor
He’s inside the lab tonight, working on something shady like he’s known for. In the past, he was loved and cared by everyone. He cured the living-dead plague 20 years ago. He’s young and has accomplished so much as a doctor. But the impressive portfolio didn’t make some people happy. Other doctors in the town conspired to go against him. Fast forward to this day, he’s miserable and in constant pain.
A line of different dead animals can be seen on his operation table. His sickly body move around slowly, but those hands are the hands full of experience and intelligence that no one has ever been able to compete with.
The sound of someone running towards his lab can be heard clearly. He grabs one of his gun, and ready to pull the trigger.
“Dad! Dad! They’re coming here, with torches and pitchforks!”
Notice the voice of his son, He opens the door immediately. “How far are they, and where is your mom?”
“Mom… Mom is…” The doctor looks at his son crying loudly in shock because he understood immediately that his wife is now gone.
“Stop crying, and run as far as you can. I will stall them here for awhile!”
“But… but when can I see you again after this?”
“Let’s meet at the north watchtow-”
“Watanabe, show your face or we burned this place down!” A group of townsfolks are already here with all kind of weapons they brought.
The doctor looks at his son’s eyes deeply. “Run, and don’t look back.” He grab his son and throw him from the back door.
He looks at his son for the last time. “Live strong, Ryu”
The child is running to the forest while crying in pain to the north. From that day, he’s never seen again.
