We began using his name as a curse word.
“For Evans sake!”
“Pulling an Evans, are you?”
“Peter C. Evans!”
Peter C. Evans, Dr. Evans. I know little more than his name and his place at the beginning of the end of existence.
He worked for Manson, in their lab in Albuquerque, as a bioengineer. Designing fighter viruses and bacteria, his breakthrough came breeding a bug to kill the bad bugs. Sounded good in theory, but instead of attacking enemy cells, it attacks the brain, leaving an animal that knows only one thing: hunger.
This is an entertaining way to fill us in on some backstory!
ReplyDeleteAt least in the face of adversity they’re. Using his name for something useful. LOL
ReplyDeleteVery creative way to vilify someone! Though Evans sounds like he was just doing his job. Will we find out if there's more to his story?
ReplyDeleteNot exactly the accolades one wishes to earn for their achievements! Nice snippet!!
ReplyDeleteI like the insight this snippet provides. :)
ReplyDeleteAnother excellent excerpt! Although I'm still suspecting this Evans guy won't be as bad as she thinks...
ReplyDeleteInteresting excerpt. Except I'm worried about the lab animals and hoping he can reverse his experiment.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure my dogs has been exposed to the Evans virus.
ReplyDeleteThe backstory info about the virus.
ReplyDeleteWhat a dreadful thing to be remembered for.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I hope he's not a relative of mine!(Althogh I guess he thought he was doing a good thing at the time.) Evans just happens to be my last name - not a lot of people know that! :)
ReplyDeleteOh. I'm not generally one for zombie stories, but I love the idea of how this one came about.
ReplyDeleteFascinating. In a weird way, this reminds me of the guy who invented the Terminator. He planned it for something good that was perverted. Sounds like Evans didn't intentionally release the "bug" that caused zombies.
