Walking Virus Monologue

716 Words3 Pages

Infected? How can this happen to me? All of my life I have been the healthy one. Now, I am a walking virus farm. Yet I knew it was true. There was really no way that I could not be infected. When my wife’s teeth sunk into my flesh, I knew. I knew that my life would end soon, but not before I destroy other helpless people. I can feel my body trying to rid itself of the virus. There is no cure. I am impotent against what it will do. Earlier today, my wife started to convulse. She fell to the ground, foam coming from her mouth. I tried to help her, tried to stop her pain, but I couldn’t. She turned on me. I tried to fight her, but the virus gave her a new strength. She over powered me in a matter of seconds.

Saliva drips from my mouth when I see him. Just a bite and he’ll be free. Now I’ll save him. Yes, I realize the truth now. The virus frees us from our old beliefs; frees us from our old dogmatic ways. I launch myself forward. I grasp him dark green shirt and sink my teeth into his warm flesh. His blood fills my mouth and a chunk of his skin glides down my throat. He’s screaming, struggling to break free. I feel his free arm come up and strike me on the head. I barely feel it. He’s grown weak in comparison to me. The sickness has turned me in to a new being that is much stronger than this mere human. I grab the arm and force it down. My jaws never unclenching from his flesh. My victim staggers back, trying to become free, but I move with him. I am over powering

This infectious disease, known as the genus Orthopoxvirus, from the the family Poxviridae and subfamily of chordopoxvirinae, is potentially believed to have laid to waste whole civilizations of people. It also goes by the name “Red Plague”, or in more common parlance, “The Smallpox Virus.” Historically, this virus made its way to Europe sometime between the 5th and 7th centuries.

    This is much like how the Greeks took the city of Troy from the Trojans. When believing they had won, the Trojans accept a large horse as a gift from the Greeks and bring it into the town gates. The Trojans were oblivious that the Greeks would jump out of the horse and attack the sleeping and unprepared Trojans. Much like the Greeks, Ebola can come inside one cell in an organism. The symptoms of Ebola can sneak into an organism’s body without much warning and begin to destroy the insides until symptoms like headaches are reported.
