Introduction
(skip if you want)
Well, what can I say, it's been nearly two years since I've written Contagion (Created Saturday, March 07, 1998 1:54:00 AM) and I've got to say it's represented a part of me during those two years, from start to the uncompleted end (damn, I just keep on telling myself…how did it happen, that I couldn't finish something I felt so ambitious about). Anyway, for those of you who don't know what this is based on, the story is actually a fanfic (fiction created using copyrighted characters/stories from movies, games, etc.) based on Capcom's psx game, Resident Evil 2 (If you don't know what Resident Evil 2 is, I'll just tell you it's basically a game with lots of blood, horrific atmospheres, zombies, monsters, and several other things you'd find in horror films—biological haywire sort of thing). What I did with this story was I took everything from the game and pretty much changed it, adding many more things along the way. I even changed the characters. The characters from the game differ a lot from the game's, so don't be surprised if Leon is crazy and Claire is chased by a bunch of hit men, because that's about how far the differences get. Think of it as if it were made into a movie—you know how movies change the original, well, same principle applies here. Well, I know how tired you must feel to read this before a really long story that isn't even finished…I know how depressing that feels. So I'm just going to end this with a simple note that most of you who have played the game will remember, and it's…
Welcome to the world of survival horror.
