Quarantine

The day the infection started in my town was a day of great loss, I lost friends, neighbors, and family. I lost my dad because he had become infected. The military gunned him down like he was some sort of war prisoner in a firing squad. My uncle Alex and I were taken to a quarantine zone in the Rockies, safe from the infected. The infection, officially named Kinoses, takes over the brain and shuts it down, then reanimates to something like a zombie, but not entirely a zombie, they don't breathe, or need sunlight, or water or food, they only want to eat the flesh of humans, but the infection does spread, the infected have about a ten year lifespan, and when that time is up, their heads explode and spread the infection to whoever it can get into, whether it is from an open cut or through the mouth or anywhere else it can get into. You can also get infected by getting bit, like my father was.
