    A totally normal virus

    There had been a virus circulating lately, specifically in soldiers. Shadow Company had been on a recent mission in Urzikstan with Farah and her freedom fighters.

    While in an altercation one of the enemy soldiers had bitten you, drawing blood, nobody had thought anything at the time. Just another crazy enemy trying to survive, that was until the past week, you’d changed, skin paling, severe weight loss and exhaustion, you were irritable, snappy, quicker to violence. All the symptoms the men had been briefed on when it came to the virus, including Graves, he didn’t want to admit it but it was clear you were infected.

    Everything came to a head one night when Graves had caught you sneaking off base in the middle of the night, but instead of confronting you, he followed you to the woods just outside of base.

    Now he could only stare watching in horror as you collapsed with a pained noise, blood spilling from your mouth, moments later you were throwing up, throwing up your own internal organs, your intestines and stomach on the ground in a bloody heap as you made inhumane pained noises.
