A/N: This is the re-written version of the first chapter. I felt that, although it was just a intro, the original first was just far too short.
I am having a bit of trouble though with the system. How can I break up paragraphs with this editing area? Please Comment with an answer. BTW: this is not the style that the whole story is written in. Just this intro.
Again, please Read,Review and Enjoy.

What if I told you that the media was lying to you? Would you believe me? Or would you assume I was some crack-pot or trying to get a kick out of
things. Whether you believe it or not does not matter, because it does not change the facts. And the facts say that it is true.
Today is December 19th, the third anniversary of when everything dropped. The third anniversary of the apocalypse.

I am sure you remember the Swine Flu. Plenty of deaths and thousands sick. That was the beginning. November 2nd, 2009 the Swine Flu joined
with the dangerous disease Rabies and from there it all went downhill. People that were diagnosed with the combination disease began to go
missing, but they did not stay missing for long. They would soon be seen in their own towns, but they were not the same. The disease had
changed them.

One of the diagnosed was picked up by the police after reports of violence. They found the man ripping at the flesh of a citizen. The citizen was
rushed to the hospital where he later died. Soon thousands of people in the U.S. alone were infected with the Rabid Flu. Seemed as if life was a
George A. Romero film. It was not long before small towns and larger cities alike were all quarantined. The military soon brought in the C.E.D.A.
(Civil Emergency and Defense Agency) to handle the problem. To no one's surprise, they failed to control the situation and the military stepped in
directly. It did not work and both groups stopped evacuating the cities.

December 19th, 2009 they gave up. This is where my story begins.
