We thought the outbreak was just a plague that wiped out most of humanity, something of a cross between the classic bubonic and the more modern strains of influenza. As far as we knew the first symptoms were basically a death a sentence and left the world to rot, save for the few of us whose immune systems didn't crumple like wet tissues.
With nobody to run the world, to make sure all the essential communications were online, how were we meant to know that this was just stage one? How could we have known that this was planned population control gone rogue and that the next stage was cellular reanimation? Or that the third stage was some kind of super quick, super intense dehydration that left all the infected little more than piles of nutrient-rich dirt?
Shame the people who had all the answers didn't survive like we did. If even of of them was still around we wouldn't have had to hunt for the answers amongst huge swathes of bloated corpses gently walking about and bumping into everything like honey-drunk bees.
Now we're choking on the dust storms caused by stage three but at least we're just regular dead.
