The nurse grabs me as I struggle in her arms. Then she calls another nurse. One nurse holds me down while the other injects a shot into me. When I woke up I was in a bed. Covered by a blanket, and I smelt disgusting smells. I push the blanket off and see a dead corpse on the bed beside me. I try to get up but I'm chained to the bed. I look to my other side and I see Rachel. But she's not dead. She's sleeping, but she's full of blood on her legs and arms. About an hour later, Rachel wakes up breathing heavy. Rachel looks to her side and sees me. I look at her and try to speak but realize my lips have been sewn together again. I look around for the bugs but see none. Then I see a small desk with sewing needles and threads on it. At that moment, I realize that the nurses sewed my mouth together. For some reason, my lips didn't hurt. But I saw Rachel suffering from the pain as she tried tearing the threads off her lips. When the nurse walks in she races to the dead corpse and pulls it out the room. She brings in a fresh body that has just been put to pass out for a while. I look at the covered body and reach over to pull off the blanket but can't reach. When the nurse walks out I grab my phone and try to text. But then I remember only the hospitals have reception. Everyone else has been cut off from the world. When I hear footsteps near I hide my phone under my pillow. I'm surprised I haven't died from this disease yet. I touch my swollen face and feel a bug on it. I grab the bug and throw it across the room, accidentally hitting the nurse that just walked in. The nurse looks at me with her big green eyes. Behind her back I see a bunch of the bugs crawling up her back and biting her in her neck. She falls to the floor and her face swells up. I try to get up but once again remember I'm chained. But then I see the key to the chain in the nurses pocket. But I can't reach her with this chain. The chain is on my arms so I use my feet to pick up the key from the nurse. When the key is close enough for me to use my hand to unlock it, i unlock my chain. When I get the chain off my arms I look at Rachel who stares at me with watery eyes.
