Where the Dead go to Die
“The infection, I’ve heard it usually takes a year before it kills you and turns you. Is that right?”
Emily took a moment before answering. “It’s 8 to 15 months for the infection to run its course, typically. The longest anyone has ever survived with the infection is 3 and a half years, but there are people on record who’ve died from it in as quickly as 3 months.”
“And it always kills you, right?”
“Yeah, honey. There’s no cure.”
The boy inhaled, let out a shaky breath. “I hear it’s painful.”
“Here at the hospice, we’ll keep you as comfortable as possible, that I promise you.”
