Ape-Shift: Earth of Drywall

Earth is change(d), and two former icons are now mutated intelligent apes in a planet of tremendous 'dogma' intrigue!

My fanfiction-opus of Planet of the Apes (Pierre Boulle). Hope you like it (signing off),

The Salk of American Empire(s) had fallen miserably, having spawned a bio-virus 'creature' called the Thing which had to be burnt alive for complete species extinction(s)! This was the post-Apocalypse.

Amlan is one of the key figures in this unfolding science-horror American tale of disproportionate creature genesis, a real 'nerdist' of field-fire use/teaching(s).

The other is an Algerian traffic-cop named Indra who like(d) to watch drive-in movies before the collapse of all traffic security/courage. He's now considering himself akin to Mad Max on Fury Road.

The chemical waste junkyards and ghost-tales generated by this Earth Apocalypse are not stopping and radiation reverse-waves are mutating all humans and twisting/rusting all metals/vehicles!

A resulting Plague called Corona is meanwhile eating away at the flesh of the human brain, and everyone's thinking this is worse than the Apocalypse, whatever was designate(d) in Revelations.

Amlan's mutated into the governance-leader/ideologist named Cornelius, an intelligent ape of great diplomacy acumen and extraordinary chess-playing cyber-skills/tourneys.

Indra's mutated into a war-machinery general named Luke who insists that might-makes-for-right in this post-Apocalypse Earth, and he wants a global alliance of strength-based capitalism resurrection from the ashes of the pre-Salk era(s)!

CORNELIUS: The life-spirit will be preserved by 'forms' of grid-motion(s) imaginations!
LUKE: It's not a video-game, Cornelius.
CORNELIUS: Sure it is; one of 'digit' proportion(s).

A great change brings great opportunists, and Cornelius/Luke comprise the new Axis of Thought on a shifted Earth, a planet ruled by damned artful apes!
