Prompt: Why are there no more animals in the zoo? 5-minute writing.

    The zoos have been empty for years, all the animals are gone now, and so are most of the people. About five years ago, some scientist in Guatemala discovered a new species of rat. One of the zoos in New York had decided to put the rat on display. After that, the other animals started to get sick. Nobody could understand why it was happening. Soon the animals started dying, one by one until all that was left at the zoo was a pair of chimpanzees. Somehow this diseases or whatever it was had started affecting other animals at other zoos.
