Positive Apocalypse (2021) - full transcript

Who am I?

Where am I going at this time?

Why do I feel secured?

When I travel at the time where

no one comes out and can see me.

I understand one thing clearly

the world is ending slowly.

The world is so different

now when compared to in 2020.

My name is Aakash.

It's been more than six months since



I'm walking towards this forest.

I'm not sure whether I would

survive or die in this forest.

The purpose of recording this.

Is for someone who wants to know what

I went through during this journey.

See these empty roads.

No single vehicle.

No single human being.

It's all empty now

I had recorded many good and bad

things, many happy and sorrow moments.

I have gone through many sleepless

nights, starving for food.



You know what?

The batteries in this

camera were stolen by me.

From an abandoned store

many people made fun of WHO

when it declared coronavirus as

worldwide pandemic in 2020, They thought

that this was a hoax to kill people and

control the rapidly growing population.

But in year 2022, the COVID-19

mutated itself into a much stronger

version called COVID-19 alpha.

The recovery rate was less than 20%.

Many villagers sealed

their village borders.

And announced self

village governments.

It was like a killing

machine that was unstoppable.

People died in every city, every town

and in every village on this planet.

And were deprived of last

rites as the one who were alive

were not ready to risk their lives.

Due to this

Invisible virus, the world population,

which was more than 700 crores

came down to less than 500 crores

countries like India, which had

more than 130 crores was left

only with less than 65 crores

And USA was below

21 crores population.

I was living a normal life in Hyderabad

working as software engineer.

And my parents were living in

a small town. in the year 2018

I had an argument with my parents

And then I moved to Hyderabad for

fulfill my dreams and was living there

until the pandemic was declared in 2020.

When the pandemic was announced

in 2020 by WHO, I decided

to go back to my parents

But government had imposed restrictions

on travel and did not allow people

to move from one place to another.

A list was being made of people

who wanted to leave the city.

My name was also registered in the

list and due to huge population

migration, I was told that I

will have to wait for four years.

By the time I shall be

allowed to leave the city.

Authorities were testing approximately

50,000 people every day with 100%

accuracy. things turned bad to worse

When my test report showed

"POSITIVE" on January 1st, 2024.

I was asked to remain indoor in

total isolation by authorities.

The doctor who tested me, told me

that they all are going to a secret

safe location by evening. because

The global virus controlling

authority has decided to release the

poisonous gas in all the containment

zones worldwide, including Hyderabad

so that the spread of the

virus can be stopped immediately.

I ran out of Hyderabad with

the things I had at that time.

I walked hundreds of miles towards

this forest and ate things I saw on

my way. doctor who tested me, gave

me three doses of vaccine to cure

the COVID 19 Alpha. Which he developed

without informing the government.

This vaccine did not

undergo human trails.

So,

I have huge risk of cardiac arrest.

Or brain stroke or any other severe

side effects in next five to six days

after taking third dose. I may, I

may also lose the feeling of hunger

and eventually become weak

without eating anything.

And die slowly. I already
consumed two doses.

There is no one around here

I don't need a mask.

Oh God.

I miss my parents, my mom,

my dad, my girlfriend.

I am not in touch with

them for so many weeks.

I don't know what

happened to my girlfriend.

No phone calls, no

messages, no contact at all.

For last six months.

My dad, my dad did so much for me.

He sacrificed so many things.

And I left him, because he wanted

me to get a job in my hometown and get

married to daughter of his friend.

I cannot forgive myself for

not listening to my mother and

Left home.

I should have convinced my dad.

Sorry maa, sorry.

Sorry mom,

I love you.

I love you so much.

And I want to see you again.

I want to meet you soon.

I don't know.

I don't know how,

let me keep moving.

Staying in one place for

long could be dangerous.

Rain is my friend. Air is

my relative. Nature is my God now.

Finally, I reached Mother Forest

water in this canal is not good.

I need pure water where

Sand is not polluting it.

This is a very big forest.

I feel happy for being here, but

Sad for the reason I am here.

I think I'm the first person

who puts clothes to dry in

rain, but I don't have a choice.

How can I forget this?

I have to take the third dose.

Oh God, please help me

please save me

I got only five more days.

If I survive next 6

days, then I shall recover

And have greater chances of being alive

Six days, just six days,

I have to survive in this forest.

I thought it was easy because

it was just six days, but

Now,

If anyone from global virus controlling

authority finds me, then they

easily understand that I'm infected

and will be threat to others.

There are chances that..

I, I shall be shot as I did not abide

The instructions from health department

where in I was told to home quarantine

and ran away from the city to escape

from the poisonous gas, they have

database of all the people who are

corona infected. they are tracking people

with the help of cameras, which are

Highly sophisticated

placed all over the places.

These cameras send alerts to the

health department by scanning eyes

If caught the result is shoot at

the site, the situation

is very bad in the forest.

When I was in Hyderabad, I heard that

Many people started moving towards

forest as their family members

did not tell them into the home.

When they tested positive, there is

no proper food in the forest, other

than some fruits, animals migrated

to deeper and middle areas of forest

due to the presence of these people.

People are hungry here.

They are angry and violent.

There were rumors that due to

shortage of food, they're killing

other people who are physically

weak so that they can eat them.

I am going deep into the forest to

not to get caught by patrolling

choppers and vehicles of global

virus controlling authority.

After staying a night in this forest, I

came to know that poverty is the biggest

devil, demon and ghost on this earth.

I asked nature to help me

It responded with rain.

I want to see my mother, my

girlfriend, if I survive.

I felt scared after looking at

this Lake, it is big and beautiful,

but looking monstrous to my

eyes, I don't know how to swim.

If I fall into Lake accidentally,

then my life will come to an end.

I have a tent cover along with

a few accessories.

At first, I was scared to sleep alone

in places like these, but now I convinced

myself that there are animals out here

And most of them - most of

the time don't care about me.

Unlike humans who try to kill me

to snatch food and things from me.

I wish

I could call my parents.

I want to apologize

for all that I have done.

I regret

for all my acts

I'm sure that they will feel bad

if they know my situation now

mobile service is available in

some cities and towns, but here I

have no such facilities.

I'm very hungry now

I need to search for food!

City kids like me don't

know the art of fishing.

When I had an opportunity to learn

how to fish, I refused it because

I thought it was useless to me.

I can buy anything I

want, but now I regret it.

Learning swimming and fishing is as

important as learning to drive a car.

I'm surviving with two

bread packets and water.

My breathing is fine now,

but I feel heavy on my chest.

Um,

Oo my girl!

Where are you?

I hope

You are fine.

I just want to tell you

that how much I love you.

I should have treated you

Well

I misbehaved with you because

of my arrogance and stupidity.

Now, I realize that you are very

important and precious for me.

I don't know.

If I will ever be able to see you again.

I hurt my parents too.

I'm a bad son.

I got no reason to

live unless I see you all

I'm an idiot.

I'm a fool.

God,

please give me back.

My family.

I can breath easily know.

God.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I want food,

I may die, if I did not get

anything to eat now

Me too

there is no proper food in this forest.

There are no humans left.

We are unable to find animals to

hunt. we need to search entire forest

so that we get something to eat.

If we find a person, we will

kill him and eat him.

Let's find someone today.

Come on.

I miss you mom

miss you, please forgive me.

I love you so much,

please.

Forgive me.

Just

One more day to go.

I will be able to meet my parents again.

If I don't show any side effects

I can also talk to my girl

I want to know what happened to her

god

please, please help me.!

Forest is not like what

they show us in movies.

As far as I go, I saw no fruit,

nothing eatable, not even animals to

hunt because they stay in deep inside

and in central parts of forest.

But I feel this forest is healing

my lungs with it's pure air

It was like touch of mother.

But it's ambiance is like dad's anger.

It doesn't matter whether you are

rich or poor, you are equal in forest.

This forest is confusing.

This Lake is there at

end of every path I take.

Maa!

He is negative,

Otherwise he would

be dead already.
