The disease has started. It's killed over ninety percent of our population, and the survivors are mostly mutants that roam the earth, scared and not knowing who or what they are. Most have become crazed, and I've personally seen a few practice cannibalism.
It's terrifying, traumatizing. But its what I deal with, what I live.
Fortunately, I've only had to deal with the first symptoms of the disease, and then they got the cure and vaccine...
Until our scientists were killed by the mutants. No one knows why. Maybe they've got psychological versions of the disease, but in any case, they're murdering machines and won't stop for anything.
And the disease:
The first part is based on what used to be called Turner-Ullrich Syndrome, in which the syndrome only affects women. The main symptom is serility. But then comes the lethal part.
The second round of symptoms start out as like a burn across the skin, and within the soft tissues, almost as if one was in a fire, but it starts sporadically and spreads like a fire.
Then, it turns to muscle dystrophy and decays the muscles. The heart is a muscle, so it eventually gives out and kills.
It's airborne, so it spread all too quickly.
After it killed around 90% of the world population, they came to a cure and vaccine, therefore creating mutants with deformed figures from burn scars and slight muscle dystrophy in the extremities.
These are most of who is walking around. Few have the psychological issues, but it's enough to cause a problem.
And I'm living in the midst of it, along with one person I've known for a day. (Your character.)
