The Disease Spreads

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 105640

Three years passed. Diana had been working as a seamstress, never stepping outside her hut, and paying a young man to bring her food every morning. She was only 23, but she appeared as a sickly woman in her mid-fifties. Honestly, she was miserable, and questioned what the point in living was. But she lived on; other than the coughing, her health remained stubbornly perfect.

Then the unthinkable happened. Her next-door neighbor walked into her hut—carrying his newborn son. She hustled them out as immediately as she could, but it wasn't fast enough.

  1. The man had seen her, and wanted to know what had happened to the very young woman who had lived in the hut only a few years before.
  2. The man caught the disease—he began to notice that he looked really different a few months afterwards, by which time he had already infected many others.
  3. The baby caught the disease—only two months later, he was a toddler, and had infected many other people.
  4. They both caught the disease, but it manifested in a milder form—they would age only four times as fast as was normal.
