A History of the Great Pandemic, from the "zombie" perspective. Spotlighted in the News on 12 August, 2011.

6 February 2009
Channel 5 News reported today that there is a new strain of the flu spreading throughout Centropolis, urging us all to get a flu shot. I don't know about you, but I never have trusted those shots. Sticking us with the dead virus? No thank you, I will wear my new mask and hope that I stay healthy.

All of Subeta has been in an uproar since yesterday evening when four strains of a strange illness began to appear. I have not been feeling well since late yesterday evening, seems that I am one of the first to be affected. We thought nothing of it at first, but as time progresses, these rashes are spreading and the symptoms are getting worse. I am starting to feel a little uneasy about this situation. The Millionaire Center stocked some injections that looked like cures, and the inhabitants of Subeta rejoiced! But they made us worse, and the diseases continue to spread throughout the Subetan population.

The first reports of infected users biting others have emerged, and I am beginning to fear for the worst. So far, I have been able to control these intense feelings of hunger for what I can only describe as uninfected flesh, it seems that this "flu virus" has moved into my brain and is trying to spread into as many new hosts as possible.

I saw Titania McGee reporting a news story this evening, and decided to go ask her if she had any new information for me. I was so startled when she ran away screaming. I came home and looked in the mirror and saw a gaping hole in my chest.... she reported about me. I am hoping for the best... but I don't think we will get out of this alive.

Things are getting much worse around here, the people are rioting in the streets and the panic is so thick in the air that you could cut it with a knife. Windows are being boarded up, the shelves at the local food mart are empty...
Those that are your neighbors, that were once your friends, are now shunning those that are infected - even if you are not biting anyone. I understand the fear that they have, but what about us that are infected?

They are calling us zombies now, and there is even a new shop open for us only. At least there is one place here in Subeta - Shadowglen - where I do not feel discriminated on and feared. I suppose that the part of Subeta where graveyards are located where voodoo is heavily practiced would be the only place that would accept a zombie.

What I fear will be the last special issue regarding this terrifying time has just been released; Titania's news post sends chills down my spine (not unlike the glossy dead look in my eyes). I will continue to post on here about the events until I lose control to this sickness - someone needs to record just what is happening here for future generations to read about!

A cure has been made available today, thank goodness! Shops all around Subeta are closing down, and it is your job to hand over cures to keep the economy afloat! I haven't cured yet, I feel that as long as I can control myself I should remain afflicted and infected in order to fully understand and relay our side.

I am so sorry for the lack of updates, it has been a rough week. I still haven't cured, and now that my disease seems to have stopped progressing, I feel more at home and comfortable in my new skin; more accepted than ever before; embraced by a new subculture. And it seems that I am not the only one refusing to take the cure: zombies all over are standing up proud in their new skin. Don't believe everything that the media tells you, we are harmless.

It looks like today marks the day of acceptance for our kind as a people:

It has been a long battle and journey, and I am glad that those of us that enjoy our undead lives are are going to be allowed to live in peace. Sure, we are being segregated from the rest of the Subetan population, but as I have said many times throughout this ordeal, I finally feel at home. It feels like my life before becoming undead was a dream and I have only woken up.

Below you will find my collection of items from throughout the years since the Great Pandemic. Given the changes I was going through, I have not yet gotten everything that belongs yet. If there is something missing, please let me know!

Thank you for your interest in learning more about the history of the Great Pandemic that includes the zombie perspective!
