The Simple Pleasures

April 15, 20XX

Before everything happened there was a company. It was owned by Brahmin. He was a genius but he was also completely insane. Not a good combination when you are talking about someone who specializes in human biology. He thought if you mutated the Zombie Virus enough it would turn into something new. Something better. Different. And he always got what he wanted.

The zombie virus was rare but it was treatable, meaning they were put down. It was either that or get it everywhere. People weren't told about the virus or anything even remotely about it. If people knew there would be worldwide panic.
The Infected spread the virus like wildfire. Drinking after somone who has the virus? You now have it. DNA is the key. If you get even a smidge of Infected DNA inside you, you're done. There is no cure and there is no way to stop it. Some people don't go to the hospital. They stay home and try to wait out the sickness, but there is no waiting.

The symptoms only appeared 2 days after getting the virus into their system. It started out with fever and coughing. That was Stage 1. Most people dismissed it as a cold and went on with their life, spreading it around even more. Stage 2 started out with bruises seemingly coming out of nowhere and blood coming out of eyes and mouths. At this point the people were either quarantined in a hospital or getting more people sick. Stage 3 was the most horrifying one yet. It started out with the Infected going insane. They would try to claw their eyes out, chew their tounge, and scratch their skin off. Then they started to get hungry. It gets to the point that if you weren't feeding them they would try and feed on themselves. They would find and eat anything that moves and breathes. Usually whenever the victim hits Stage 2 they were either put down or moved somewhere they wouldn't hurt anybody.

Brahmin waited till they hit Stage 2 and then pounched. He would take them with the promise of putting them down or moving them and then strap them to a table and cut them open. Experimented on them till they looked like a more messed up version of Frankenstein's monster.

Some of the experiments weren't a total failure. He figured out how to make a patient immortal by using a small part in the virus that makes the corpses not decompose and a couple other things. He injected the patient and then waited for them to either mutate or die. Most of them died but there was three that survived.
