Chapter 2 - The Town That It Became

I skipped hopped into Hairy Street. I could probably sing and dance and nobody would care. You know it. Right now, the streets are empty, completely deserted of no beings. To my left is the old hanging vine tree that's almost dead. Poor tree but I don't linger. To my right is the fountain that's gone dried a few months ago. It's a real pity, it used to be such a pretty sight to behold. If the clouds were not so gloomy, I would've enjoyed my walk.

In the center of the town is the lords abode. There were many rumors surrounding his house. I would have thought some creep made it up but there is certain credibility to it. 2 months ago, the lord brought back a young girl probably in her late teens into his house. The girl was found lying on the road outside of this town so he took it upon himself to take her in. It was around that time that this crisis started appearing. It was disastrous, the townsmen protested against the girl and led a huge army of angry mobs with torches towards the lords abode. And I'll tell you, it was not a pretty sight, the girl's once beautiful face was half burnt, her body disoriented and bones fractured.

I would have believed it was the cursing of a witch but I know better. You don't get a high fever from witchcraft. This is the cause of an epidemic.

But this does not matter though. Nobody would believe me or let's say they're all afraid what happened from across the country would befall them too.

I entered into the clinic I work in but there is nobody even though the whole town is sick. They felt it would only get worse if they'd gone out. Sigh. Dealing with those bunch's are more tiring than you can ever imagine.

I walked into the closest abode I see, knocked on the door and a few minutes later, am hairy old man comes out questioning me. I tell him I am a doctor and I can already see him seeing ear to ear. I walked in with my surgical mask and start my procedure. It's a daunting task. His old body already riddled with wounds has a big black bump on it. I gave him instructions and left him with medications and went to the next abode. That's when suddenly I see it...
