Black Bloom

It started with a viral sensation. A photo of a young Indian boy plucking a single black dandelion from the train tracks situated beside a slum. The weed was considered an abnormality, a genetic mutation. Nothing to be concerned about... Weeks later, most of the world has gone blind. Black dandelions have sprouted everywhere, from the sands of the Sahara to the Las Vegas strip; lawns and fields have turned midnight black with the proliferation of these coal-colored weeds. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, only one thing is clear: humanity is in for a fight unlike any it has ever faced before. This is the story of the end of the world as we know it. This is the story of a war unknown and unspoken of. Until now. This is a story of survival. This is the story of the Black Bloom.
