The virus has been circulating for months and wrecking society. At first, everyone ignored it. The symptoms were so mild, and it wasn't a fatal disease. A mild headache that lasts for days increased appetite, dry eyes, and nervousness. What came next was the loss of emotional control.

Those prone to anger easily were taken over by murderous rage. The worst part was their reason, and values remained intact as the committed acts of extreme violence. (Same setting as my other talkie character Jennifer).
