First Blood — Scott Free
Cordyceps Hominis:
Cordyceps Hominis is a homopathogenic fungus that is colloquially known as the 'zombie fungus'. It operates by infiltrating the human brain and nervous system, altering the behavior of its host. In stage 1, the host experiences an intense craving for human blood, which contains an enzyme that the fungus needs for propagation. In stage 2, the fungus rapidly spreads hyphae (mycelium) throughout the host, following nerve sheaths. The brain is especially targeted, and the host is soon rendered incapable of any thought unrelated to the gathering of food. The fungus requires immense amount of protein to enable its rapid growth and subsequent fruiting.
It hit hard and spread fast. Before anyone knew it, half the country was engulfed in a wave of violence and bloodshed. Normal people became blood-crazed killers as their brains and bodies quickly degenerated. Nothing could stop the plague as it toppled the government. The frightened populace turned to the authorities for help, but found none. Those that were charged with the mission to protect and serve found that the weak and defenseless were easy prey.
An easy meal.
Tim Valentine is a police officer who is trying to protect his family on a day when all the rules have changed.
Sheriff Goden is a man who knows how to nurse a grudge and now sees an opportunity.
Tom-Tom, a shell of his former self. Will he rise to the occasion to take care of those he loves?
