E Virus: The Diary of a Modern Day Girl — Jessica Ward

Think about how you feel when there's a power cut. What about when your water is switched off. Think about all those times your phone had no signal, or had run out of battery. Imagine your phone, laptop or tablet running out of battery and you had no way at all to charge it, ever. How much work can you really get done when there's no internet in your office? How far could you get if you didn't have your car, or if the transport links were cut off? Now imagine all of the above, happening at the exact same time. What would you do? And how would you survive? Nowadays people drive their cars to the gym, only to go inside and run on the spot on a treadmill, all whilst watching the latest episode of Eastenders. We do it because we can, because we don't know any different. Think about what we do at home. If we get peckish, we log onto the internet. We click a few buttons and before you know it, all kinds of cuisine are delivered straight to our doors, 24 hours a day. Nowadays, even those that burn toast never go hungry. I am no different to you. I relied massively on today's technology. Whether it be my iphone, which never left my side, my car that gave me complete freedom to go wherever the hell I want. I'll admit it; I still used the car when walking was a completely doable option. In pretty much every single aspect of my life, I relied on all these things. I did it because it was there, I couldn't function without it. You don't realize how much you take for granted, the simple things in life. We rely so much on these things, that if they were to be taken away, then mankind simply cannot function. This is my story. The story of how I had to survive the demise of the modern world, and witness the birth of a new, horrifying and deadly world in which there were no rules, no technology or comfort, and the infected walked among us. The E-virus turned the whole world upside down. It left death and destruction in its wake. The only problem was, the dead didn't stay dead. www.jessicaward.info www.facebook.com/evirusdiaryofamoderndaygirl
