"Another day, another dollar" Phil grunted as he got ready for work. Brush teeth, shower, eat breakfast, the usual day starter routine. He hated his job, the classic cubicle worker using a computer job. On his way to work, Phil noticed lots of military helicopters flying overhead. "Damn, it's sure a hell of a problem if THIS many helicopters are needed." Phil was working on his computer when he kept getting pop up notifications of a deadly terrorist attack that is killing many U.S. citizens. "ISIS has developed and launched 500 missiles heading straight toward the United States containing a virus that controls the victim's nervous system and forces them into cannibalism," notified the computer. "What the hell?" Phil questioned. "500 missiles??? I have to leave home and stockpile supplies for the worst case scenario." "Boss, I'm taking the rest of the day off, I'll see you when this dilemma is over." Driving home, Phil saw every store he passed by being looted. He stopped by his local grocery store, grabbing cases of water and lots of canned food. "This should be good for a couple of months, if I time my meals correctly." On his way home he thought "Crap, I need some weapons if I have to defend myself in a worst case scenario." He searched his house in and out. The only remotely good thing he could find was a flimsy kitchen knife. "I guess this is all I've got for now, hopefully this will be enough." Phil got very nervous thinking what would happen. "Could the missiles kill everyone? Could they cause a mass plague? Will I survive?" He got too nervous and decided to watch some television to calm him down. "Let me check the news and see whats going on." He flips to the city's main news station to hear a news lady. "We advise everyone to stay in their homes, stockpile supplies to last 2-3 weeks, and do not leave your house even in an emergency. This is not a drill, this is not a prank. These viruses being shot over are very deadly. The virus attacks the host's nervous system and takes full control of the victim. They become extremely violent and cannibalistic. Please, if you see someone infected with this virus, stay as far as possible from them." Phil was exhausted from a long day of worries. "Maybe if I get a good night's sleep, I will feel better tomorrow."
