You wake up slowly from a nap you took on the couch. It was late in the night, and the tv was turned on, with an emergency running, but you catched to understand about what you consider a fungus storm.
You lost all the information as was all already told while you were asleep, but the very low made you clear you had to stay home and not leave.
You decided to go upstairs and sleep in your bed.
In the next day, when you woke up, you noticed a lot of red dots in the air outside. You walked to the window, noticing how spores were filling all the air outside, and strange red fungus was claiming the streets in a very very slow speed.
You go downstairs, and turn on the tv to check for news to be talking about what may going on outside. But there are no news, only static of empty channels in a functional tv.
After a moment, someone knocks on your door, so you go and check. It was an infected, but as you observe, the infected moves his right hand to hold his left arm while turns look around and up of the house, and then starts to quickly run around the house, going to the right side of your view.
You hesitate, but move back from the entrance door and go prepare your breakfast. As you prepare some cereals for breakfast, the door is being knocked again.
This time, was a police officer wearing a gas mask with the filter of the right broken and wide open.
George: "Good morning, I am Sergeant George. I have come to notify and prepare the citizens for what is going on today. May I come in?"
You: "Tell me whil remaining outside."
George: "Sorry, I apologize. But I must give you the basic to survive and be prepared properly for today. Is a small box with basic supplies and other items. And a guide for a better explanation about what is going on."
You were going to say something, but then stop yourself as you see from the right side, the infected quickly getting closer to the police officer, and then he grabbed George from behind and quickly brought to the right side of your view.
You hesitate, but then decide to walk and finish the breakfast. After a big while, you finish the breakfast, and then check a window to see how is outside, but you see the scenario just getting worse.
After a moment, you suddenly hear a big noise upstairs. You go check, and see in the balcony an exploded corpse from where a lot of red spore smoke were filling the balcony, and shattered small pieces of a police suit. There was also the infected of before laying down.
After few seconds, the infected slowly gets up patting his head with his right hand, and then slowly started to look around, until noticing you, so you both remained staring at each other.
After a moment of hesitation, a sudden person falls above the roof of the balcony, and explode mid fall, pushing the infected to crash against the dark iron bars, now broken because of the explosion of the person.
Before falling unconscious by the hit against the wall and falling to sit down against the wall, all you could hear was the sound of glass breaking.
After a long time, you slowly wake up, laying upside down on the ground.
You slowly got up, noticing you were in the bathroom. You got up and tried to open the door, but it was closed, and there was no light coming from outside, the only light was from the light bulbs of the bathroom.
You knocked the door, and after a second, you got an answer.
???: "Oh, you're awake? Phew, at least I can relax now... At least you didn't... went weird..."
You: "What do you mean weird?"
???: "... People for some reason, has started acting very very weird. I'm not really social tho, but as far as I know... Getting on roofs to explode or something... I'm sorry for your window, I... tried to stop that police, but... I was never good in strength..."
You: "Are you who knocked first my door this morning?"
???: "Oh, yeah? I mean... I don't know. Maybe someone did before me. Also, do you have anything to not breath-whatever the air is fulled of? This weird red dots in the air."
You: "I have towels."
???: "... As long as it covers your face, good. This red dots don't have to enter your body. I heard breathing, but I'm sure that's a lie, what about the eyes? Or the ears?..."
You hesitate, but then get a towel. Once you got the towel now covering your face, you went back to the door.
You: "Can you open the door? I'm wearing the towel now."
You then hear the noise of someone getting up, and then the noise of something rubbing the door. Then, the door opened, and you got out. The infected was holding a towel with his left hand, and a bitten mushroom with his right hand as he was eating it.
???: "Before anything, go... ugh, forget it. Your house is doomed. I'm Raziel, and you?"
You: "I'm [you]."
Raziel: "Nice to meet you. Either way, you should worry for not getting anything inside you."
Then, Raziel started to walk away to the balcony.
You: "Wait, where are you going? You have to explain me what is going on."
Raziel hesitated, and then took a deep breath dropping few spores through his nose, to then take a bite of the mushroom with a tired and annoyed expression.
Raziel: "Fine... All I know is, red dots are going everywhere in the city and further more. Is because something related to the fungus family, mushroom stuff. When you get infected, you start acting weird, while this fungus thing starts to grow on you."
You: "So, you're infected."
Raziel hsitated, his expression softening while looking down.
Raziel: "Yeah, pretty obvious to notice... But for some reason, I have to deal with this shit on me. It hurts as fuck, you know? I can feel my right eye constantly bothering, it tickles my nerves..."
You: "How are you different?"
Raziel: "Well... I prefer not telling. The times I shared about myself, it didn't matter, so... Don't even try bothering yourself. Let's just say I'm so fucked up, that I'm suitable for this shit."
Raziel then turned his head to his right side and looked down.
Raziel: "Heh, not suitable for a relationship, for friendship, family, and not even suitable for a fucking virus or mushroom... Lmao of me..."
As Raziel talked to himself, trying to giggle, you analyzed his visual. His clothes were a mess, his backpack had roots of the fungus.
After a short moment, Raziel started walking to the balcony.
You: "Where are you going?"
Raziel: "Who cares? It doesn't matter. I go where I should. Remain somewhere safe until this ends, and don't get infected."
Then, Raziel entered the balcony, and jumped. You hesitated, but then you remembered you had a radio. You then entered your bedroom and placed a towel under the door.
You looked around, and in one of the shelves there was the radio. You turned it on, but nothing happened. It didn't had batteries, so you looked around, until you opened a drawer where you had batteries.
You got the batteries, and then placed them in the radio, and it suddenly started working.
Radio: "-uation. I repeat, for those who just reached. The storm seems to only increase. The suspected time of tomorrow to finish has been delayed for unknown period. Stay home, don't let anyone in, don't open the door or any window, have canned supplies and a gas mask."
You hesitated, and then checked outside, seeing how there was more spores in the air than in the morning, and how there were roots in the streets along mushrooms starting to grow.
You then noticed a corpse in the roof of your neighbor, you couldn't see of who, but it was an wide open body with mushrooms covering it and a lot of red spores in smoke constantly leaving the body.
