Can I play with you? The story behind the art In this eBook, you’ll find the dark story behind “Can I play with you?”. A story inspired by the harsh realities of our world, yet set in a post-apocalyptic (possible) future. eBook Synopsis In a post-apocalyptic world where a deadly virus has twisted humans into cunning predators known as Hunters, humanity’s virtues – compassion, empathy, and kindness – have become dangerous liabilities. The virus has turned survivors’ goodwill into weapons, as Hunters use the guise of vulnerability to lure unsuspecting prey. Among these abominations, a girl-turned-monster embodies the virus’s relentless evolution, her once-human form transformed into a venomous, grotesque creature capable of deadly deception. The Director, who studies these Hunters through the eyes of her enforcer Aeacus, realizes that the virus has an intelligent, insidious design: it not only reshapes bodies but erases souls, leaving only hunger and hatred in its wake. The Hunters persist even in death, their toxic remains contaminating the land and spreading infection, reminding humanity that survival now demands cruelty, and compassion is a deadly weakness.
