I can't believe this is happening.

I mean, I have seen a few bird flu epidemics; ans that Zika virus thing from 2016 was scary, until they found a cure for it.

But THIS thing!

Everyone is dying!

And those who aren't are becoming rabid cannibalistic maniacs who are eating everyone else!

Thank god for Mark.  He has put me up in one of the store rooms on the top floor.  I had enough time to pack a couple of bags. My father had given and taught me to use a 5 shot Lady Smith .38 Special pistol, so I am armed.  I can consistently put 4 out 5 rounds into a human shaped target at 20 feet in 15 seconds, but -- of course -- I've never shot it at anything living before, let alone a person.

Mark has 9 of us closed up inside the tavern.  I know all of them by face [i]or[/i] name and most of them by [i]both[/i], though I am only [i]very[/i] familiar with about half of them.

I go to Mark, thank him for the thousandth time, and ask "What can I do to help?"
