Laura’s POV

The harsh beeping of my alarm clock caused me to groan.

I flung my arm over my bedside table and quickly hit the snooze button. The heels of my hands shakily ran over my eyes as I yawned and sat up in bed. The form beside me rolled over and grabbed my waist before I could slip out of the sheets.

“No,” a deep voice mumbled. “Don’t go.”

“Josh,” I giggled. “Let me go; I have work and so do you.”

“Call in sick,” his hazel eyes locked with my blue ones. “Please?”

I shrugged off his hold and stood up, stretching. “I’m going to shower.”

“You’re no fun,” he grumbled as his head disappeared under the covers.

After showering and making a warm bowl of oatmeal, I sat down in the living room and switched on the TV. The news headline immediately caught my attention.

“And in other news, Harry Styles, the most wanted criminal in New York, has escaped from prison. Just a year ago, he brutally murdered his wife and 3 kids. If you see him, please call your local police station.”

“What a creep,” I muttered, switching off the television and cleaning the dishes.

Josh Devine, my husband of 2 years, finally emerged from our bedroom and kissed me soundly.

“I’ll see you after work,” he murmured. “We’ll have dinner together.”

“Okay,” I smiled, running a hand through his short, brown hair. “Love you.”

“Love you too,” he grinned before grabbing his keys and going out the front door.

My co-workers at Urban Outfitters greeted me warmly before I got to work taking inventory and marking clothes. Around lunch time, there was a strange commotion coming from outside the store.

I shifted through the large crowd at the door and caught sight of hundreds of policemen ushering people into taxis.

“Miss,” one approached me. “The President has ordered everyone out of state. The taxis are taking everyone to shelters in Pennsylvania.”

“I need to call my husband first,” I protested.

“There’s no time,” he argued. “Phone lines are down and he’s probably already driving as we speak.”

Panic spread through my body. “Could I find him at the shelter?”

“Absolutely,” he said. “Everyone is going to the same place.”

As soon as I was seated in a taxi, I realized the horror of my situation.

“I heard it’s a highly contagious form of bird flu,” the woman next to me was gossiping. “This is probably to keep it from spreading.”

I bit my lip nervously and prayed that Josh was safe wherever he was.

Little did I know, my life would soon become hell on Earth.
