The Outbreak

*A bloody tape recorder is lying on the ground, around it is a mess of bloody bandages and sheets strewn on the ground along with smears on the wall and floor. The grisley scene is sadly not much worse than par for this new world that everyone had to, or more accurately, tried to live in. Pressing play, a man's voice, his diary of sorts can be heard.*

"Day 13, audio journal of Mike Richardson- They got me... I can't believe it. The bastards sure bite hard, got me bleeding good, but I think I can get it to stop. If not, I need to take this time to pass on what I know of this whole situation, so that if anyone finds this, they can be better prepared than I was.

It only took one day. One day was all that was needed to take out all of the law and order of society. It spread so quickly that before a true resistance could be organized, it was already too late. Sure if it was one localized place then it might not have been a problem, but they sprung up everywhere within hours, sometimes minutes, of each other. Those who might not believe say 'What about the military? How do unarmed people take out tanks and helicopters?' and you'd be right, they can't take out these vehicles, but tanks are gas guzzlers. Without a steady supply of gas, eventually they'll be stranded and by sheer numbers they'd be cut off from any sort of support. As for helicopters, eventually they need to land and fuel as well, and that's when most went down. The military could not kill them faster than they came and soon enough even they were overrun.

The cause is unknown but hardly matters now that they rule the land. The only people who are still alive are those who were resourceful, cautious, and determined, or perhaps most importantly, lucky. If being in this living hell could be lucky in any aspect. There were plenty of theories though, chemicals on our crops and in our cattle finally backfired, terrorists, government test gone wrong, space radiation, voodoo witchdoctors, God's divine punishment, the list goes on and on. It seemed there were more theories of what happened than there are people living anymore.."

"Day 14, audio journal o-" Coughing can be heard. "...of Mike Richardson- The bleeding, it still hasn't stopped. I didn't know.. had so much blood... everywhere now." His voice goes in and out from audible to barely able to be heard on the recording, his breath is labored. "I feel sick, but I have an insatisfiable appetite... no matter how much I eat....just need to get up, keep mo-" More coughing before silence falls upon the tape. Nothing can be heard for a few minutes until shuffling can be heard. A little at first, with some groaning before the sound of two shoes hitting the ground as someone gets up along with more moaning, loud moaning. The feet begin hitting the ground quickly and sound further away before you hear glass shattering and a loud inhuman growling moan is emitted. In seconds it is silent again. The tape recorder turns itself off as the batteries die while you listen.
