People spend years putting themselves together. 
                                                                            The apocalypse tears them down in a day.

----

When the apocalypse comes, it catches the world off guard. There are no zombies, natural disasters, atomic bombs, nor any other massive event as many expected. Instead, it is a disease spread through bodily fluids, one that imposes itself in the worst possible manner: by picking apart an individual's mind and turning them into their worst fears. In a matter of days, the infected become their personal nightmare.

Be careful. Most diseases are frightening, but this one knows exactly what you don't want to become.

I always imagined the end of the world being something out of the Bible or movies. I even imagined and mentally prepared myself for a Zombie apocalypse. Which, I guess is what this was... News reports live all over the world showing cases and recordings of hospital patients or people on the streets attacking one another. Eating their flesh then attacking other people, while the ones who got bit and died came back and started attacking the ones who ran- and didn't. Even those in the military didn't stand a chance. It would have been almost horrifying if it weren't for the fact that I was so unattached to everything. Now I'm alone...
