When the infection first hit, anyone’s first instinct was to check the radio and television and every other method of communicating with the outside world. There is nothing left. It poses an interesting dilemma. If every part of the state, the country, perhaps the world, was affected simultaneously the same way, then what caused all of this? I’m not a scientist, so I can’t really explain what happened, but I lie awake at night sometimes. Zoic and I compete to come up with the least believable theories, but even the really bad ones (moon rays) don’t seem that bad. We’re completely in the dark.
