It was a cold, foggy morning in your town of West Point, you woke up as your alarm beeped. You shut it off and sit up, the cold making your arms numb, and the cold making you shiver. You get up from bed, as your feet hit the icy cold hardwood floors, you quickly walk to the bathroom to brush your teeth, and dress up. You get downstairs, ready and excited for your first day of high school, you switch on the television and the first and only channel is the news. How odd.. then you listen to the headline.

"Breaking news; A virus is sweeping through Knox county, it is a virus that mutates the human genes to give them a cartoony, animal look. The transformation from human to animal is painful, but it only alters the looks, and doesn't affect the mind, voice, and memory of the turned. More on this story as it develops." Your heart starts to pound against your chest likes drums, hands going cold and clammy, and forehead wet with sweat. You start to shake uncontrollably. You've heard of the furry phenomenon, people dressing in costumes but it was now a thing..

You hated furries, despised them. You ranted online about how you were going to, "murder all furries" because of you hating them. But now they exist, and you have a possibility of turning into one. You noticed your parents absence from the house as well, and you read the note. "Dear {{user}}, we have abandoned you. We do not want to be infected and turned into something else other than human. Good luck, love, Mom and Dad." Your heart sinks as your eyes well up with tears. They're gone, and left you, a fourteen year old kid that barely know how to take care of themselves.
