[ WP ] Introverted virologist accidentally contracts this new strain of ebola in the lab and suddenly finds himself inexplicably seeking out crowded places and human contact .

James was working in his lab, decked out in whatever protective gear he could find. This was Ebola, a disease that made HIV and AIDS look like a common cold with symptoms. A new strain of it, he had to be careful. For all he knew it could eat through a layer. He did n't want to go back home, where he knew he'd get a call from his parents and his few friends. They always asked why a handsome guy wanted to work in a lab all day. They thought he was shy, afraid to make friends. He was not shy at all, he did n't see the point in a social life, he felt more at home in a lab then he did with other people. He kept rambling on in his mind till he made a big mistake, he'd accidentally broken the glass. `` Fuck'' he said. Fuck summed it up very nicely. He blacked out. 
 
 When he woke he felt a need, a need to socialize. He did n't know why. He knew he had to get medical attention, he knew the strain must have affected him, since he had landed with his mouth right on it. The virus, it was controlling him, it *was* him. 
 
 He arrived at home. He should have drove to the hospital. The Virus was gaining control. He saw what was happening, it was taking control, not just of his body, but of *him* as well. 
 
 James arrived at the nearby bar. After a few drinks he began talking up the bartender, a nice woman around his age. He knew what he was doing was wrong, that he would infect the woman as well. He knew soon the symptoms would show up, but who knows how many he will have infected. 
 
 After the bartender fell asleep, after having a great time, and had closed the bar up for the night. He kept going. But James the nice guy who did n't see the point in a social life was gone. His stomach was in pain, so much pain that if he had control of his body, he'd kill himself. But he was gone. The virus was in control now... He was patient Zero for the new strain.
