The Bug - Episode Two — Barry J. Hutchison

Part two of a six-part post-apocalyptic sci-fi horror serial Amy didn't want to look at the dead thing, but she was afraid to look away, as if the moment her back was turned it would rise up again, teeth snapping, hands curled into limp claws. It had been her dad, then it had become something else. And now it wasn't anything at all. ABOUT THIS EPISODE The Bug Episode 2 continues the six-part serialized story about ordinary people trying to survive in a terrifying post-apocalyptic world. Two teenage grocery store employees in Boston find themselves trapped by their ravenous boss, while elsewhere in Massachusetts a teenage girl is forced to defend herself from her deranged, ravenous family. In Glasgow, Scotland, a mother flees in the night from her husband, who is plagued by whispering voices telling him to kill their baby daughter. Meanwhile DCI Hoon and DI Marshall of Police Scotland are forced to confront the terrible truth of what is happening to their city, as the infected begin to outnumber the survivors. Fast-paced, gripping and terrifying - dare you catch THE BUG? ABOUT THE SERIAL No-one knows where the bugs came from. They emerge from the shadows all over the world, creeping and crawling out of the darkness and burrowing beneath the skin of every man, woman and child they encounter. Once inside, the bugs begin whispering dark thoughts into the minds of their hosts and driving them to carry out horrifying acts of violence against those not infected. Most survivors try to hide from the bugs and the bugged. Most don't succeed. But all over the world pockets of uninfected people find ways first to stay alive, then to fight back. This is their story. Because it isn't a virus that will end the world. It's a bug.
