looked like a zombie movie on the TV. There were hordes of people moving through the streets attacking anyone who was not a zombie. Police lines were firing on them with little effect, mostly they were just mowed down. It looked like a swelling wave moving through the streets.
“Where is this?” I said.
“London.” Caleb answered.
“Let me know if they show the U. S.”
I looked at the atlas and started to calculate mileage and routes to places that were less densely populated. There were many places just close. We had over a third of the nation’s population within 300 miles of us and I wanted to put some distance between them and us.
“Daddy, they’re showing New York City.” the boys said in unison. It was a similar sight as we saw in London. Smaller hordes but the snowballing effect was the same. The image switched to an aerial view of D. C. then Atlanta.
“ Scenes like these are coming in from all over; ” the woman on TV was saying, “ Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Dallas have National Guard being sent in to help contain the mobs .
“ Looting has started in cities across the country as some people try to take advantage of the chaos and others just to get food and water in case the situation gets worse .
“ On the east coast the roads are blocked with traffic many backed up for over ten miles in Washington D. C. and Boston. All access to Manhattan has been closed as well as the bridges and tunnels around the city. ”
“Let’s go.” I said, “Time to do the rest of the windows and doors.”
We all jumped up and went to the front porch. “We’ll do the windows first, then the ones upstairs you can reach from the roof. We also have to finish getting the balcony stairs down.”
We worked efficiently and quietly and within a couple hours were done. There were still the front and back doors to do but they were a bit trickier. We had devised a way to board them up and have them be usable but didn’t want to wait too long to secure them. The stairs from the back deck to the balcony were down.
By noon both Christine and I were getting phone calls constantly. Well, she was, I got a few. We also had friends stop by to check out what we had done. Christine couldn’t keep quiet about out preparations. It was what it was and did no good for me to get upset. If we were seeing the beginning of a zombie apocalypse our friends and family would be welcome.
The TV was on constantly. I’d stop and watch from time to time to try and catch anything new. So far China, had closed its borders. They had not accepted the vaccine and could be free of the virus. There were some reports of outbreaks in Australia and South America. Northern Africa and the Middle East were seeing an escalation of the infection. It was quickly becoming a worldwide epidemic.
We were now getting information about the origin of the cause. Speculation was that Iraq had been working on a virus to use on Israel and the U. S. that would drive people crazy and cause them to attack each other. Kind of like a cancer where a country would be devoured from within by its own people. These and other WMD’s were found but not disclosed to the public. We were seeing U. N. and other governments representatives talking about reports and papers but it was what that guy yesterday had said, the information was buried and so hard to decipher no one understood, except those hiding it.
Within a few hours we had a clearer picture. These were chemicals developed in Iraq under the direction of the Hussein regime for the purpose of attacking Israel, the U. S., England and other western countries. He was able to hide most of the labs and weapons before the fall of Bagdad, some made it into Syria. United Nations investigators started finding evidence of these in late 2007 and found the first products in 2008.
The frightening thing was that everything wasn’t destroyed, some was taken to laboratories in Europe for “further research”. This is how
