Chaper 1: Russia's Vendetta

December 9th, 2017,

                   Today was a strange day, i awoke to the sound of heavy machinery due to the construction of a new hospital across the street from my house. My wife had made me and my son a breakfast fit for a king as today was my son's 12th birthday and didn't we all know about it, the endless wrapping of presents and distribution of newly bought birthday cake was enough to make your head spin. After breakfast i got a call from head office explaining that i was to leave work earlier today due to a national broadcast of ''high importance'', little did i know this ''highly important'' broadcast would change my life in dramatic ways that no one could predict.

            It was 5.45pm when the speech was broadcasted, Me, my wife and my son all watched in suspence and excitement as the broadcast commenced. ''Today there has been news of the upmost importance, today December 9th, 2017 we have gained intelligence about the suspicious goings on in western Europe...today we know more about the terrible things... the horror... today we have news that a virus from western Europe is sweeping this world, Russia is in deep threat and as you all know a virus spreads. We have news that this specific virus changes humans, animals and insects into these ''things''... i-i don't exactly know how to state this, but stay safe and i'd advise the public not to panic but to brace yourself...''

            As the last few sentances breached our ears we sat there, motionless, not quite knowing what to think, say or do. My wife's first initial thought was to panic, fear stricken she insited we fly over to America for safety, but i protested that our home and family are here in England and they will need us now more than ever, My wife broke into tears shouting that i should be worrying about her and my son instead of the house, and explaining that our familes will come with us. I evetually Agreed and as we packed our stuff my mum and dad came to the door, and with a scared tone to their voices they said ever so quietly about the broadcast and how we should all get away as soon as possible. I'd never seen my dad so terrified, his eyes wide as crystal blue lakes, his face was as pale as a sheet, and his mouth trembled with fear as he spoke. I knew something wasn't right, and whatever it was... i wasn't prepared for it.
