Recording take 1, lab 42: Mrs Delilah Omrieta, me and my lab assistant Mr Ross yamti was carrying the vital tubes to the study table when he had tripped, and shattered the ignazima virus all over the floor and into the air, the high potency of the virus set off the CO’2 evacuation protocol. locking everyone in the lab while everyone was gasping for air slowly losing life I soon realize I was just fine when everyone else around me had fallen to the floor stone dead. With tears feeling my eyes for the lose of my Colleague and many thoughts running threw my head I grabs my things and run to the elevator shaft with all my strength as I was running for my life I notices the body’s are beginning to move and stand like they where still alive as they turned to look at me, I notice they where know longer the people I once knew with there skin as pale blue as the sky and there eyes as yellow as the sun they twitched, and scampered over to me. Intered the elevator shaft frantic and scared awaiting the doors to close my blood pumping, the doors close in enough time only an arm had gotten stuck as the elevator began to move up. not realizing doing so i had just released the virus out to the whole world.

Leaving lab 42 I frantically ran the entercom system pressing the red button for a full evacuation of the building letting everyone know not to go to lab 42 under any circumstances, for them to block off any entrances of any kinda. After doing so I run out side and away from what had just unfolded before me. Getting in my car and driving home not knowing on what to do next I go inside and grabbing my dog “Maxie” (a German Shepard) I call him max for short and a few of my personal belongings and head out to the CDC, in Atlanta Georgia

3 hours Into the drive I come to a rest stop for the night. Intering the room and locking the door max and I set on the bed watching the news to see if any word had gotten out about the incident-

News reporter: “ now in the news there has been a few releases about an odd happening at the “RADT” (research and development team) what we have been told is that it is classified information and, was told there is know more information to be released. In other news at various hospital across the world there are reports of patients that were reported dead, becoming alive again and attacking people. Further in the story next; this is Michelle hamulton, 36 news

-Wow, wondering and thinking back on how this had all happened and still wondering why I wasn’t effected bye this when everyone else was, understanding I won’t know anymore information untell I reach the CDC I began to get very tired and fall asleep calling it a day.

7am: June 25, 2028

16 hours later, waking up to a loud screaming outside, scared just knowing what could be happening outside. taking max and my things In the room to my car I go outside with a knife in hand walking to the front desk where the screaming was coming from to return the key. There was a man who looked to be fighting the check in clerk with other stand-byers trying to help him I run and place the key inside the office on the counter and leave to my car, driving bye cars on fire and burning building and people needing help, seeing the dreadful sight in front of me I continue to my destination.

Bye-passing the screaming people and ignazima-infected chaseing and biting and turning innocent people I finaly reach the out skirts of town to back road to avoid the highways hoping for a safe travel. An hour and 20 miles later reaching a small shopping center my gas light come on leaving me no other choice but to hope for a gas station soon, me realizing even though I make it to a gas station safely how wouldn’t I get the gas. Slowly driving not to make much noice I stumble upon a gas station that seemed to take years to find. Pulling up next to a pump I turn off the car looking around my surroundings to make sure everything was clear. So everything did seem ok it was very vacant not a soul in sight. Looking over to max I see him a sleep. That would probably be the better thing to do right now anyways is to let u sleep max we wouldn’t won’t u getting scared and causeing to much noise. Leaving my car with only a knife, making my way to that gas station doors I hope the doors are unlocked, to my surprise they were unlocked. I’ve worked at a gas station before when I was just starting out and helping with my college so everything should look the same right? We’ll see.

Also very hungry and seeing this might Be my last chance for food and water for me and max I grab 3 jugs of milks making a run for my car and placing it in my trunk and back to the gas station for 7 bags of family size (different brands) chips and this time getting a carrying basket for all the stuff I also grab as much Dr. pepper I can hold once again makin a trip to my car and back for the last time getting as much candy and junk food I can carry and I didn’t forget Maxie. Not having any dog food in the gas station I grabbed a few cans of spaghetti and meet balls and some meet from the dairy area and also 8 Loafs bread and also grabbing two more jugs of milk making my way back to my car. A Dodge Caliber can only hold so much but apparently it was just enough cause I still had space for more but decided I may have to need space for other things. Going back to the gas station one more time I turn on the gas pump to fill the car up. As I turn to leave I Hurd a loud rumbling sound right about the time a dozen of the infected fall from the roof inclosing on me scared and in a panic I try to avoid them making my way to the door when I trip and they fallow my lead bye grabbin at my feet inches away from becoming a human hot dog I desperately reach for the door handle pulling my self away from the infected thinking I was a goner an poor Maxie would be left all alone. A gun shot rung threw my ears as each infected person fell to the ground around my feet covering my feet under there body’s a man runs up to me. With somewhat shaggy brown hair and a scare over his left eye and clothes overed in what I was afraid to even ask about. Helping me to my feet he ask me what I was doing and how I got my self in this mess. So I begin from the start and tell him about the CDC and my travels when I was very surprised to hear what he had to say.

I’m sorry what is your name might I ask; after finishing my story

Darien, the names Darien Daniels. And I hate to bust your bubble but the CDC called for a all evacuation after all this hit if there was anyone there I don’t see Anyone being there anymore sorry ma,am.

Well for my reason going Mr Daniel I still have hope there’s someone there.

I hope ur right lil missy. I’ll cut u a deal say you get there and no ones there make ur way back here to silverville and hang a right at middway park a few miles from this gas station and come to my camp we have walls and you’ll be safe there, I normally don’t leave women out in this mess but from the looks of things u can pull your own. Well I’ll let u get to leaving untell next time, your name is?

The names Delilah

Well, Delilah untell next time (tips his hat)

After getting my gas a wondering about that odd man and my close incounter with the infected (and why exactly so many were on the rooftop) I continue my journey.
