Just read all the parts of this straight through, and most disappointed that there's not a link to another one! I remember the first draft of this, which I really enjoyed, but this is another level entirely. Utterly engrossing. The characters...
There have been times when I've felt just like that. It's a bit like when there's an eclipse of the sun, and you know it's going to come back, but then it takes longer than you thought and somewhere deep inside you a little prehistoric creature...
I did like your list of apocalypse threats that we have all survived! As you say, we shall get through this one too. As far as I understand it, it isn't that this virus is hyper-deadly, it's just that it's new so no-one has had a chance to...
