Infected Ties

The summer’s heat whips at Mateo and he feels his breath shortening and his throat tighten out of dryness; but he can’t stop running. He can hear their footsteps clambering behind him. That’s the issue with these infected folks, they can turn out all sorts of ways once the parasite has taken over their vital organs; most importantly their brain. They can either enhance the traits of their hosts or completely change them. The two following behind him must have taken over hosts who were track stars or seriously mutated their muscles and lungs, because they have been steadily following him at a sprint for what feels like forever.
