"When we were on the Interstate, I came up with a theory about how the apocalypse might have started. I said this to Craig too, before he disappeared. I believe that it may have been caused by scientific error. They must have created something that mutated, much like those bacteria that became resistant to antibiotics, and then used a test subject - and it spiralled out of control. I remember reading articles about how scientists have contemplated the possibility of a zombie apocalypse, so there must be at least some antidote out there. We can't go checking all of the scientific labs in America of course, but if we check at least one and don't find it, then we'll know." Katrina explained.
