On with the story!!! Wait… No thoughts yet!!!
It was any normal day on a peaceful Friday afternoon. People were at work, at school, out at lunch. On the news an unknown infection hit a person in D.C.. Nobody worried, for it was common for random viruses to pop up an hit somebody. The scientists said the DNA was complex, making it harder for a cure, and possibly deadly. However they also stated that a certain hormone ,that is rare and only lives in few people, can fight the virus off, making them immune. Scientists could not think of a name, so they simply called it "The Infection". The day went on, and nobody worried.
The next day the manager of an office building called "Top Tower" awoke and made breakfast. His name was Louis. He made himself some scrambled eggs and put them in-between two slices of wheat toast. He got ready and headed out for a new day. He did not yet know a serious epidemic was going around. In fact, nobody did.
On the news they reported that after one day the one person spread The Infection to an estimated 20 people. They then knew it was not an infection, but a virus. They still continued to call The Infection. It had a nice deadly ring to it.
Those infected experienced many symptoms in it's first stage. These include: coughing, headaches, runny nose, fever, vomiting, and those with weak immune systems, even death. Only one however made it to the second stage, which includes the transformation, symptoms include: Vomiting blood, increased blood cell replacement (for replacing vomited blood), skin turning pale or grey, pupils in eyes disappearing, and loss of control to temper, causing to attack people, spreading the infection. Those had to bound and locked in their homes. That didn't stop it from spreading though.
Two weeks after The Infection though… over 75% of the WORLDS population has gone into second stage of The Infection. Another 20% died, and the last 5% are still alive and well. Two weeks after The Infection, a third and final stage appeared. Those still alive, they broadcasted a newscast for it, for those who still even have T.V. access, they stated those in third stage "Special Infected" The named them and said what they do
"We have the results" the news broadcaster claimed. "We have the most common Special: The Boomer. It vomits bile on a survivor and attracts a huge group of infected, now what we call Zombies, for those of you that LOVE those zombie films/games. Boomers also explode when you kill them. The next on our list are Hunters. They have extreme agility, allowing them to jump incredible distances, pouncing you and tearing you to shreds! Yuck! Next we have The Smoker, It has a huge tongue which allows it to grab and choke you draggi-" Suddenly the news tower exploded!
"Holy Shit!" Yelled Louis. Suddenly he heard gunshots coming out of his window. He saw two men, one probably in his thirties, he had a leather vest on and holding a shotgun, blasting limbs off of nearby zombies. The other was looking like he was around sixty, holding a shotgun too, he was wearing a green jacket and had a cigarette in his mouth.
"Whew! Glad I'm not the only one alive here!" exclaimed Louis peering out of his window. "Hey you guys down there! Up here! I'm not infected!"
Louis glanced at the T.V. again watching millions of feet run over the camera while flames tower in the background.
The man in the vest spoke below. "Get your ass down here! We gotta pistol for ya! It's hell out here!" Louis took his command, shut is T.V. off, not that it mattered, and headed downstairs and joined the group. Louis later learned that his fellow teammates names are Francis, the one in the vest, and the other is Bill. They are searching for more survivors and making their way to Mercy Hospital.
