Description
It’s Monday morning in Tokyo...
Rush hour...
The stations are overflowing with people in black suits...
Students half asleep...
Office workers gripping coffee cups...
Train doors opening and closing every few seconds...
Everything feels.. normal.
Now imagine standing inside one of those subway cars...
packed shoulder to shoulder with strangers...
when suddenly...
the man beside you quietly drops a newspaper-wrapped package onto the floor.
Then...
he takes the tip of his umbrella...
and punctures the bag.
And within minutes...
people around you begin collapsing.
That morning...
Tokyo itself started choking.
