Today the World Ended

I'm writing this mainly for whomever finds it:

Today it seems global disease struck. While the symptoms may vary, most agree the body experiences brain death, and then abrupt "revival." At this point they say the lack of oxygen to the brain while allowing them to function, they essentially become "rabid dogs." No longer your loved one. We have all lost someone and the outbreak began been just shy of 24 hours.

This is the personal portion.

My name is Marilyn Thompson. I was a mother of two, Brian Jackson Thompson and Sarah Grace Thompson. They passed along with their father Dan Riley Thompson. They were loved and will live in on my memory.

I don't know what happens from here. I'm afraid the world's too far gone to ever come back from this. 

I feel like I've gone mad. Maybe I have. I'd prefer it over this reality.

They say we're in a state of emergency. No shit.
