Awakening of the Scourge - (2/3)

[General POV]

It's early in the morning for [The Sleeping Pandemic], people are waking up and preparing for their days, making plans for their next date, or going to work. Some people are going around with a device that looks like dragon ball scanner from DBZ looking for any remnants of [The Sleeping Pandemic], after all it was the first new disease in a century so they couldn't be too careful.

Sadly though it seems that their peace is about to be broken once again, in a run down apartment that hasn't had reservations since the event there is an Old man coughing on the bed, dying slowly as his heart comes to a stop, though he would've died soon anyway as one by one his organs started to fail. This old man has black cysts covering his body when sometimes one of them might spit out some red and yellow pus, while his muscles seem atrophied from even a distance.

Besides him there is a young man, about 24, taking care of this old man in a seemingly worried state, his eyes are red and puffy with his lips quivering as he continues to hold in his sadness and show a smile for the old man, hoping that at least he can be sent of with that.

Old man - "son *cough* you need to live well ok? None of that *cough* *cough* alcohol and depression got it! you need to be...happy, under...stand?"

Young Man - " Yes! *hic* I'll do my best dad! I...*hic*…promise!!"

The old man smiles and looks to be in peace as he breathes his final breath

Old man - "Good...I...love...you.."

His head falls sideways with that smile on his face and his eyes closed and his breathing stopped signaling he is finally gone. The young man, his son, let's out a wail of pain and sadness as his father is now gone. Not knowing that while he may survive what is to come, he will be the carrier of the new disease for 1 whole year, the disease that will come to be known as.....the [Dire Scourge]
