Chapter 6: The Catacombs

When Dominic Hatto was eleven years old his sister took her own life. Dominic was profoundly affected by her death. But he didn't blame those who had relentlessly bullied her, or his parents for their acrimonious separation. No, he reserved all of the blame the social media that had facilitated the bullying. An activist group soon learned of his tragic story, and turned him into a mascot for their cause, presenting him as a youth spokesperson. He excelled. He was young, good-looking, well-spoken, charismatic. As his success grew, so too did his paranoia of technology, and he was caught up in many other areas of activism. That he became the figurehead for the movement that opposed mandatory Homideum inoculation came as a surprise to nobody. When Homideum went spectacularly wrong, the survivors remembered Hatto's prescient warnings, and he became a messiah in the world that emerged after this cataclysm, a man of whom myths were woven, and a symbol of hope to the desperate survivors.
