Diary of Infection: A cure for death

by Bridget Squires

time.

  "You should take great pride in the knowledge that I have cured you. Soon I will cure your comrades outside as well. I have cured the plague sent to Earth by Satan himself but...." With horror I look up and am staring down the barrel of a shotgun "you do not get to keep the gift I have given. I made you human again to take your life for the crime of murdering my dear dear girl. But find solace in the facts that you have ushered in a new era. Soon the plague of zom corpses will end and your name will never be forgotten. May Satan greet you with open arms my son" Samuel says. "But...." Is all I can manage as I hear the triggered pulled back and then the blast. BOOM.

  Prologue:

  In the years that followed, Dr. Samuel Frost cured thousands of those afflicted with what he called the plague of 2010. Human kind was rebuilt by the remaining humans; since tests confirmed that while they may be human again, plague sufferers where sterile. The name Stuart was included in all history notes as well as a diary that was discovered and thought to be his, although his last name was never know. Now a days Stuart is a hero, the first plague survivor to be returned to humankind. The good doctor spread the word regarding his remorse of the event in which Stuarts new gift of life was cut short. Stuart, being so overwhelmed with sorrow for the life he lead as a zom corpse, wrestled the shotgun away from Dr. Frost and ended his new chance at survival. There are some though, who believe that Frost was the one who, out of insane anger at Stuart for the murder of his dear wife, took Stuarts renewed life away and covered it up. No one can be sure but to this day the doctors great grandson vehemently denies the accusations.
