A strange new bug. A careless man. An ignorant town. A contaminated knife. A spiritual connection. A desperate man. A scared government.

All of these things have twined together, like threads in a tapestry, to land me where I am today. Scared, desperate, ill, alone except for the dying man I'm in love with laying beside me.

I'm sitting in a locked pristine white room with only one other person. Lucas. My mind races through the connections as the puzzle falls into place.. Until I stop dead at a crucial realization:

None of it matters.

All that matters is that we get out. That Lucas gets better so we can escape. Because I knew if we stay here much longer, they're going to separate us. And I may never see him again. He might die from the disease and I would never even know.

So the only option left is escape.

But how?
