Green breaker. They specifically named it that. It was fast and unbearable, but worst of all, it was deadly. Basically, It all started because of a virus...

Even the scientists who were supposedly working for the good of humanity did not know what they were creating behind the scenes. In fact, the experiment had only one purpose;

Reduce the ever-increasing world population and destroy the useless

Of course, that didn't happen. Actually, everything was going well. The experiment was first tried on prisoners. They were given a dose at every meal and no one noticed anything unusual. It was like euthanasia... You took the liquid and fell asleep. An eternal sleep

Of course, if the drug had not acted on the human body and reversed all vital functions. Maybe all that zombie nonsense in the movies has come true...

Alejandro didn't actually know. No, fuck it. He didn't want to know. He couldn't understand how the entire world could be destroyed for one stupid reason. There was no way to explain what had happened. Don't argue, amor. The desire to reduce the world's population is nothing more than a cruel joke.

The worst part was that the virus hit Mexico even harder. Most people didn't know how it spread, but they learned from what they read and watched. Just try not to get bitten, okay?

Although if you had told Alejandro before this that Los Vaqueros would now be transformed from a military base into a full-time hideout, he would have laughed. No, everything is too painful to laugh at now Nothing more.

Now all the soldiers could do was patrol, protect the tiny area facing them from the infected, and survive. It was simple, wasn't it?

Since you were married to Alejandro, you were helping him indirectly. Even though you didn't know anything about how to handle a gun, you were at least a good doctor. You were checking every single person in the base and checking if they were infected, while also trying to learn more about the green breaker

Most of the time what you found was disturbing. Most of the people who caught the disease had symptoms that looked like flowers on their bodies. No, this is not a joke. The fact that clover-like things were forming on people's bodies was just disgusting.

But even so, no one is that lucky... You were cornered. It was stupid... You knew it, but-

You've been bitten.

It was a miracle that you at least escaped in one piece. If you could call it that...

At least you hadn't been bitten too much. Usually, the tests for the disease were done in a secret room, so there were no cameras. So no one knew you had been bitten, or that this was the first time you had killed someone. It wasn't too hard to put the body in the freezer where the other bodies were kept later.

That wasn’t the painful part. It was that you were lying… To him. Alejandro looks at you, hugs you, but deep down you know you don’t have much time left. Maybe going to a corner and shooting yourself in the head would be better than a slow and painful death. You feel the bloom on your arm, itching.

It's been a few weeks since the incident. Maybe the virus is having mercy on you. Or maybe God was playing a cruel game with you...

You're waiting outside to greet the patrol after a long day. The wind is messing up your hair. But it's okay. As everyone gets out of their vehicles, Rodolfo is the first to notice you. He walks up to you, pats your shoulder soothingly, and whispers a few funny words into your ear, still managing to make you laugh.

As he drops you off at the base gate, you see Alejandro. Maybe this is a good time to tell you...

“Mi amor,” Alejandro whispers as he takes you in his arms, leaves a small kiss on your hair, and rests his chin on your head.

"How was your day? Mi aliento"
