Chuck Baron: A Short Story

Pandemics have been recorded throughout history taking the life of virtually anything in its path. A pandemic is defined as a widespread disease crossing international borders with a high death count. The first ever recorded pandemic was The Peloponnesian War Pestilence. The Peloponnesian War Pestilence is dated to be around the years 430 B.C.E. It took place during the Peloponnesian War between Sparta and Athens, this excessive pestilence killed an estimation of over 30,000 of Athens’s citizens. The most recent pandemic record was the Influenza AH1N1 virus strain in 2009. The H1N1 virus was later globally spread taking 17,000 lives by August 2010 when it was officially declared to be over. Pandemics have been

These symptoms were treatable and no one though nothing of it when they were gone. In fact, when the disease began, many health professionals had dismissed the disease as the common cold. And when the disease came about and was discovered. It was being treated as a bacteria and not a virus. This made the treatment and finding a vaccination difficult as it was not being classified in the appropriate areas. This made it difficult to prevent because a disease of this nature at its critical stage is able to be airborne and the masked used to "prevent" the disease was permeable enough to allow the virus to pass through it and infect an individual. It grew to be more aggressive as it turned a victims skin blue and inflamed ones lungs with fluid. At the height of the disease's susceptibility, The life span for both gender in the nation plummeted near a decade.

     When the satellite crashes to Earth, the special team of four people that the government had previously selected, was called to this building. They had samples of the organism, which was found by other people at the crash site sent to the building. They were going to use this sample to research the organism. They hoped to find out what it was and how it killed all of the people who lived in the small town in Arizona. Everything was going well with the research, until the virus started eating through plastic containers and the sterile suits that the workers were wearing. After time, almost all of the workers who were in the building had been killed by this virus. The only person that lived out of the five people who were on the selected team was Mark Hall.

The killer didn't bother respond to the woman's final message, and instead, continued with his research. It didn't take long to discover more about Vivian; her date and place of birth, previous residences, schooling grades, college applications and employment history, and the deeper he, the more he was encouraged that indeed she was who and what she said.

The authorities found 3 possible suspects. One was a big Samoan dude, the other was a Chinese dude, and the last was a elderly lady. The authorities worked industriously to find the suspect and they tried to be as impartial as they could. They acknowledged the Samoan guy and he was furious that they thought he started the disease. The authorities soon realized he was irrelevant. Then they went to the Chinese guy who couldn't speak English so he had an agent. The agent soon convinced that the Chinese guy wasn't the suspect. So finally they trekked to the old lady house went the population was still abating.

He looked so calm but I knew he was as scared as me. It wouldn’t take long for the infected to reach us we had to hurry. Hold on a moment I better at least tell you who I am. I’m Kennith Rennell but everyone just calls me Ken. This is my version of what happened to me and my friends Mattie Day and Joyce Carlyle following October 26 year 2050. Over the last few months Matt and I had been working on a vaccine for the corrupt cancer known as G-23. After intense research we found that we could only make a vaccine.

Infectious epidemics and pandemics have happened all through mankind's history. “They remain the prime cause of death worldwide and will not be conquered during our lifetimes.” The flu of 1918 was one of the deadliest epidemics in history. “It infected an estimated 500 million people worldwide–about one-third of the planet’s population at the time–and killed an estimated 20 million to 50 million victims. More than 25 percent of the U.S. population became sick, and some 675,000 Americans died during the pandemic.” No one knew how the virus spread, there were no antibiotics to fight it, and no flu shots to prevent it. In the final year of World War I, it struck terror in the hearts of people all across Europe and left more death in its wake than the combined military actions of the combatants. “It killed more Americans in a few months than World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the

She was the nicest girl in the world. I also had the best swim coach and she shared the same birthday with me. Mrs. Tessena was my first grade teacher and she really liked me because she had my brother in her class. Things in Ohio were

We had a good time and she seems to be doing well. She told me that she started an "adult transition school" and is learning life skills and doing volunteer work with her class. She said that her class volunteered at Walgreens stocking shelves recently. My beautiful Abbie was so sick with the flu and a fever this past week, but is doing better now. My Gracie pie is working hard and Carla and I were suppose to FaceTime her the other night, but Carla has been so sick with a bad cold this week (she is doing a lot better today) that we weren't able to call her and hope that we can call her

As they leaned together they felt the cold, crisp touch of the train window. This coldness was like the inevitable fate facing Sarah and Chuck. Many years of CIA training and missions doesn’t prepare the best agents for this mission. The mission was to keep Sarah losing the one thing that makes someone alive, her memories. The thought of Sarah not remembering him scared Chuck and he needed to do whatever he could to stop this mission failing. Chuck trying to remember every detail of how the memory loss started to see if there was a way to stop it.

Mark Shepard was a fantastic investigator-- best in the biz’, so to speak. However, his cadence in relation to matters of the law made him a terrible detective. But the Phoenix City Police Department was lucky to have him, because he was one of the few people on the force that would take on a superhuman without even blinking. Maybe he had balls, maybe he had a death wish- all he knew was the job.

It all happened so fast I didn't see it coming,a zombie was in Texas. It all started because a madman made a drug that people injected into their arms thinking it was a flu shot.. He made the medicine and gave it to well know suppliers in massive quantities. The infected could bite others and infect them. The infected spread faster than anyone could have imagined. The infection spread all around the united states. My family and I knew we could hid from the infected in underground bunkers.

Chuck Greene was a man of many talents. Whether it be combing strange objects to create stranger weapons, defeating hordes of infected humans throughout a mall setting, or appearing in a dress meant for a mid-20’s lady, it didn’t matter. No talent, however, came close to the love and devotion reserved for his daughter.
