1Prolugue: How it began
Our story begins with Tina Gris, an 18 year old girl. She has brown hair, long, and is very kind, yet somewhat shy. Tina speaks mostly to only her friends, such as Dave, her closest friend. Dave was 20 years of age, had dirty blonde hair, medium length. Tina always told Dave what was on her mind. She and he were the closest of friends...
Until Incubation had begun.
Dave's POV:
When the infection broke out, no one was ready. Tina was at my home when we heard the story on the news. A virus had broken out into a horrid pandemic. The virus attacked the brain, much like Alzheimer's would. But, Alzheimer's takes away basic functions of the brain, it does not replace motor skills like the new disease did. This new disease was known as "Cintatron". The Cintatron antigen would go straight to the brain and interrupt basic motor skills and functions such as speech and walking. Cintatron works on a few functions at a time, until finally the person in question no longer remembers whom he or she might be. The Cintatron disease replaced the functions it stole, however. Those functions were made primitive. Hungry? Those who were not infected would simply fix some food or order out. Anyone who had Cintatron and was dehumanized by the disease would go out and kill someone. Not something, someone. These walking corpses had no vital signs, and each of the infected individuals hunted by biting and scratching. In a sense, the main goal was to spread the virus. These people are what you, the listener, might just call "a zombie". You are correct to say that. One of these people takes several bullets to take down, but just one to the skull to take he or she down quickly. It only takes about an hour for the disease to begin it's strike. The brain has such a vast number of cells, however, that the disease runs it's course over 5 hours. So, if one was infected, he or she had two options:
1- Kill yourself. The disease runs through the blood to the brain. But, when all life functions cease, blood no longer flows. How can the disease reach it's target when there is no transport? That's the only "cure".
2- Sit down, with your back against something. It will take longer for the disease to reach the brain. By "longer", I mean about an hour more. If you have a gun, just start shooting zombies up like you would be told in the military. Eventually, you'll be taken too, but at least you'd have made an impression. Zombies will not attack you if you are already infected.
It hurts when one is infected.
Headaches, black out spells, seizures, you name it, it's happened. If the listener is wondering how I know all that happens to the infected, know that I am not a doctor.
I am infected. Or, by the time you listen to this recording, I am probably one of them, if not dead.
Mist fills my eyes, and I look at the time.
00:28, about five hours into the infection.
