Short Story Continuing “Patient Zero”
Exposition: With his hot suit on Jay wonders away from the hospital with a growling stomach in search for food. He finds rotten withered vegetables inside an abandoned shack and eats what’s left of them to tie him over until he comes upon another source of energy.
