A mere touch could spread that killer virus to others. Even downwind, without a sneeze or cough to start it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll that survived were babies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe government made it worse by their experiments.

Miles off yet. Coming toward him, along the edge of the road and staying off the pavement. Chuck could tell because the highway was laser straight for miles in both directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou could hear anything coming when there was traffic. And then hear it going.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWalkers made no noise, and took a long time to get there. A long time to get gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Well Mr. Lazurai, take your time. I'm in no hurry.\" Chuck said out loud to no one in particular.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe figured that this had to be a Lazurai as he was walking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople told stories about them: they wouldn't always kill you right off. If they liked you, then you had a few days. The people that lived were cursed anyway, as anyone they knew would leave them alone after that. As what the Lazurai gave a person could also affect the other people around them. Big or small community, it didn't matter. Viruses spread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChuck didn't care. He would not leave Charlene and she would not leave her baby. So if this was the end, he was as ready as he would be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the time the walker was nearly in earshot, Chuck had finished off the rest of his lemonade and was ready for a refill. But he stayed on that bench in the shade and waited to meet this person.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis only real hope is that the end would be swift and painless.
