One morning when Evelyn Jenner went to school she realised everything was different. Teachers were calmer, less interested in keeping kids in line. Her trouble making class mates didn't really stir up as much hell as much they would have. The cheer-leaders weren't doing their acrobatics or formations, they were just sitting around and looking at the field. Then again she noticed it wasn't their fault, there were no jocks to lure or seduce. Everyone was just standing around, may be they were just bored. The lectures weren't exactly being taught, just held. There wasn't food being served in the cafeteria because apparently the chef wasn't feeling well. The corridors were littered, the notice boards were empty. She wasn't a very enthusiastic person, hell she was one of the most boring and lethargic people but seeing her surroundings, warp into her own persona wasn't really comfortable. That night Evelyn went to bed uncomfortable, something under her skin wasn't able to let her calm down. It was the same the next day, and the next, but it was spreading she was seeing the signs all around her. The roads, the shops, the world was just going through a huge lazy spell. On any other day this is what her dream world was, sleeping in, doing nothing all day. All week. But when the while world begins to shut down, things get scary. A lab that was trying to make people more vigilant, active even was found to be responsible. Evelyns tiny town was a pilot project, to see the in-field applicability of the cure. But the virus mutated, attacked the part of the brain that regulates interest and enthusiasm instead of stimulating it. It spread, uncontrolled, and things got worse. All the affected began spiralling, eventually starving, that's when the worst happened. They virus took the host on survival mode, taking over everything, attacking everything that moved for nutrition. Now Evelyn, the one whom this cure was meant for is the only one unaffected, and she has no clue why?
