Epidemic

Date: 9/21/2016

Evil organization that Slocum and I both work for. Very corporate. Like a cross between an elementary school and the pentagon. Some kind of illness breaks out and we can't trust anyone. The illness is 100% fatal. If you catch it (and you will almost certainly catch it if you have any physical contact with a person who has it) you could live a few days or you could be dead by the end of the first day that you contract it. Slocum and I both are being very cautious and it is pissing people off that we aren't acting all "business as usual" like everyone else. People are being offended that we refuse to get near them. The leaders in the corporation are actively trying to get everyone infected. Those who are, become bitter, as though it's a symptom, and seek to infect those around them, too. At one point, Slocum finds out that her mother has died. We are both very sad, and decide to escape to the woods to grieve without fear if anyone trying to hug her. Yet, we are both careful to not even brush hands, and still slightly distrustful of one another. Weird dream.
