Ronan was just 15 when it all broke out, he was on vacation in Boston when the announcement was made. "All flights to and from the country have been cancelled until further notice" stated the newsman. Ronan's parents, Michael and Maria let out a sigh. They were due to return home tomorrow.
Although both his parents were Italian, they had moved to Ireland a year before Ronan was born, hence the Irish name. Ronan was 5'6" and weighed 135lbs which he considered a healthy weight. He had dark brown hair which just almost covered the tops of his ears, his left eye was a deep brown and his right was mostly green, but with a light brown circle around the outside. His skin was suntouched but not scorched, for some reason he didn't have the Sicilian tan his parents possessed. His brother was almost the perfect stereotype of an Italian-American, all but the mafia connections. He had dark black hair, slicked back. He wore a black trench coat that reached his knees and spoke with an Italian accent, of coarse so did the rest of the family.

A farmer, from a small village in Uganda was out herding his cattle, when he heard a vicious barking come from a tree line. He turned to look and saw a dog come sprinting out, it was foaming at the mouth and was running straight for the cattle. The farmer stood in front of the dog's path and readied his large stick. The dog launched itself at him and the farmer struck it with his stick, however the rabies infected dog still managed to get a hold of the farmers leg. He struggled around, kicking and screaming. He grabbed his stick and beat the dog to death with it. He lay there for a few minutes, he groaned in pain and held his bitten leg. After composing himself he returned to his village. He went to the witchdoctor, but he refused to treat him. The day after, he and his wife made the six hour journey to the hospital.
He was studied by doctors and found to have rabies, they sent him to the University College London Hospital. He was kept in confinement for weeks but he was eventually let out for a walk sometime in late November. While he was out he caught a cold, a pretty serious one which was later confirmed as viral pneumonia. He suffered for until late December when it stopped and the rabies symptoms began to show, but they were very irregular, he was still foaming at the mouth yet it was black, he had increased aggression but once he bit something he continued to eat it, no matter what it was, as long as it was a living thing. Also his brain began to swell, so much in fact, that some of the brain lobes began to press against his skull, this caused him to walk like a typical Hollywood 'zombie'. Doctors struggled but they got some blood tests and figured out that the pneumonia virus had merged with the rabies. Causing what they called, 'The Z-Flu'.
On the 14th of January, 2011 a squad of four men, wearing bite and bio-hazardous suits, entered the 'zombies' room. They were there to get some more blood samples for more tests but unfortunately, the zombie attacked, he ripped through the bite suits with maximum aggression, he pinned one member of the squad to the floor and fed on his leg, when the others tried to help him they were bitten and infected too. The African zombie somehow escaped while the others were taken to separate hospitals and research centers. They showed symptoms of the z-flu much quicker than the first case, they became fully mutated and lost all human emotions at just three days after bite. They also escaped. Over the next week hundreds of cases were reported of the disease, in animals and humans. This was now classed as an epidemic, and although all flights were cancelled from the country, the virus somehow spread onto mainland Europe. Hundreds of thousands of these zombies were now roaming and the number was increasing every day. It was now everywhere from Iceland to Japan, and with the countries of North and South America the only ones not infected, it was just a question of time until they were.
Flights were cancelled but shipping continued into Canada, just one week after it hit Canada it got America, and Mexico, and Brazil, Colombia etc etc. This was now a Zombie apocalypse, the one so many movies were based on, so many books were written about. And now it was finally real, over 6billion zombies walked the earth......
