Doctor Branch

Doctor Branch was the latin and classics proffessor at Shuttlebank University before the plague. he didn't realise anything had happened for a day, as his classes didn't turn up, which was usual, so he simply waited in the lecture hall all day. as he was walking towards his car, he saw a fellow professor, Jonathon Creed, a biology professor who worked part time for necrotech.Jonathon was just standing on the path, his back to Branch. Branch tapped him on the back, and uttered jovially "I say old boy, where are all the students?" Jonathon moaned and toppled over, slamming into the pavement. "Jonathon!" Branch leaned down to help his friend up. but when Jonathon rolledd over, Branch saw to his horror that Jonathon's face was rotted. Branch's mind leapt forward, as he remembered Dr.Creed talking about huge leaps forward in life lengthening medecines, but some problems of 'necrosis' in test mice and apes.Creed lurcched at branch, and grabbed his neck strongly, biting into his shoulder.Branch pushed him back, and, grabbing Creed's briefcase instead of his own by accident, ran to his car, clutching his neck. driving throught he city, Branch looked in horror at the necrotic townspeople, and the cluttered makeshift barricades in front of the cinema. he was heading to the hospital, as he was worried about his shoulder, which was loosing alot of blood. suddenly, there was a crash from above, and a huge black shape smashed down onto the bonnet of his car, and looked up. Branch stared in horror at the huge gorilla, with a rotted face, greenish black fur, and foam around it's mouth it lurched at him, but got shot in the side of the head. branch turned to see a man carrying a shotgun advance on the gorilla, firing the gun till it was empty, then drawing a pistol and firing five more times at the creature. to Branch's horror, the gorilla stood up on all fours, and rushed the man, who calmly waited until the laast second, then fired the last bullet into gorilla's face, and killing it instantly."thank you" said Branch, but the man ignored him and strode past, attacking a man who used to work at the cinema, but who know stared vacantly at a dead body, blood all down his chin. Branch continued on foot to the hospital, avoiding the eerily still zombies. he reached the hospitaal, and crawling through the barricades, was greeted with the sight of five people, sleeping on benchs and chairs and piles of doctor's coats. he staggered past them, and found a first aid kit. he bandaged his shoulder, popped a couple of aspirin, and then examined the contents of Creed's case. inside where some 1st year biology essays, a device that looked like a cross between a police speed measurer and an epipen.branch experimented with it, and found that when he pressed it agianst something, it hissed, and took a sample of whatever it was, then ejected it with a hiss of gas. he saw where the batteries and gas went, then tried it out on the apple in Creed's case. it read "BIOMASS-PLANT MATTER.SUBJECT INCAPABLE OF NECROSIS" with a hiss, the small cylinder of apple flew out the ejection port. ok, thought Branch. he read the essays, and then underneath them he found a manual, on the use of this "DNA extractor" and how to recognise covert NT buildings. with that, Branch fell asleep,exhausted from the occurences
