Chapter 7:

The day went on normally, cleaning the blood, burning the bodies, checking the area for the infected, etc.. Dinner was dried beef and canned broccoli. Before going to sleep Mia and Sam talked about their past, then Sam asked “How long….was I in the hospital?” Mia paused, “The outbreak began 4 weeks ago… the day the radio and TV stopped broadcasting there were reports of outbreaks all over the world…” “…wow….” Sam whispered. Then he went to sleep. The next morning Sam talked to Hester. Hester said he used to be a biologist in the university. Hester had studied Rage, and Sam and Hester talked about the disease for a while. Hester told Sam all the effects of Rage. “The infection dilates their pupils, it also destroys pigmentation.” Other effects were loss of speech, minor insomnia, and overproduction of adrenalin. “It also increases breathing and heart speed.” So they continued talking about how to recognize an infected person, special protection from them and other things. Then Julia walked over and said “were going on the run, you coming?” “What’s the run?” Sam asked. “We go foraging for supplies” Hester responded. “You coming?” Julia asked a little more impatiently.

Chapter 6:

The roof door banged.  Sam could see the people through the door window, their bloody faces, light red eyes, their angry expressions. Mia picked up her shovel, but Sam stopped her, he said “why are the people acting like this?” she stopped, and responded “they’re infected-” “Infected with what?” “-we have to kill them” Mia continued, “Infected with what?!” The infection is in their blood mucus and saliva-” “INFECTED WITH WHAT??!!” “Rage” Sam stopped, he had heard about rage, it acted in about 5 minutes and it had no cure. The infected people kept trying to get in. John had his pistol in his hand and so did Julia the others were trying to keep the door shut, then John yelled “let them in!” the others let the door open, at that very moment Julia and John opened fire. It took 3 to 4 shots to kill an infected person and they were soon out of bullets. That’s when Mia, Lee, Russell and Hester started to kill the remaining infected with a shovel, two large knives, and a pipe. The infected group was killed quickly, but when they finished, the floor was covered in dead bodies and blood. John sent Mia and Sam down to close the gate.
