LUCAS
The icy grey sky restlessly rumbled as lightning cut crazy zig-zags into the sky, each of them painting a previously unseen path as the rain poured over the city.
The air in the medical centre's hallway had an undertone of bleach. The walls were painted a magnolia colour and the tiles on the floor were slate grey. Above, the ceiling was made from those polystyrene squares laid on a grid-like frame.
Lucas had just stepped out of the decontamination chamber after visiting the infected people. He had been made to wear personal protective equipment before seeing them but he still had to be decontaminated because of how contagious the virus was.
They had been very happy to see him. There were one thousand and eight infected people with most of them being elderly people. The people that didn't have serious symptoms were currently isolated in the building next to the medical centre and Lucas was going to visit them in the morning.
