RINGS: A Story
The rings strike without warning, showing up on the face and throat like the fingerprints of God. Extremely contagious, only fire stops them from spreading to others. The infected person? Pushed into a Cleansing Station and purified by flame.
Inigo is walking home with his friend when he sees the rings pop-up on Claude's neck. He doesn't hesitate. Claude begs for his life but what can be done? Inigo knows the only treatment.
Unfortunately, in this new world ravaged by plague, fire can't purify the haunting memories away or ensure a safe and peaceful future.
