Again, to all my “World’s End” Readers:
I don’t want to have to explain how the turning and/or disease works and broke out in the actual story- because it wouldn’t fit right.
The disease broke out, starting with colds. There were 4 stages.
In stage 1, it started with the cold, coughing and hacking all day. They couldn’t eat, sleep, or do anything other than lie in bed.
Stage 2, the infected human starts to cough up blood and bile. Their skin begins to lose its color.
Stage 3, their veins turn black as the virus surges through their body. They begin to become vicious and violent, thrashing in there beds. (They try to gnaw through the cuffs- if the nurses and/or family members are smart enough to tie them down)
Stage 4, they turn. They’re skin turns a sickly, greenish color. They become even more vicious as they begin to turn. Their skin begins to rot and they start biting and clawing at anything living. The virus finally hit the brain. They lose all of their memories and the disease takes full control of their brain. All they desire now is living flesh. They will do anything to kill, and they cannot perish unless the brain is killed. Not anywhere else.
How they will turn:
The air has the virus in it, and therefore everyone is infected.
Death is the only way they will turn.
Also, walkers can kill survivors if their tongue hits their bloodstream/open skin. Their tongue has the poison that will accelerate death in it. Bites will not affect the victim. It will take 3-8 days for them to turn. They bite the skin first and then inject the poison. If you get away, you will turn. If not, they will tear you apart and devour you before you have the chance to turn.
