Post-Apocalypse 2

One week later, the news reports announced that "the hidden plague"
had hit my town. Before, it had been a sad, far-off
story; now, it was terrifying. Various reports named symptoms named
the symptoms as everything a stomachache, a headache, the flu,
shakiness, fatigue and hyperness. There was only one certainty:
once you got it, you died.
Very little was learned about the disease in those first few weeks,
because nobody knew how it was spread, so nobody would go near those
that were ill or killed by the disease. The three weeks after that
first news report were the worst of my entire life.
One day after the hidden plague attacked my town, my brother got
sick. It was a Sunday afternoon. He had just come home from
church, and said he felt "a little dizzy."
