<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold">~French Scientists Revive Virus Locked In The Siberian Permafrost For 30,000 Years.~</span></div><br/><br/>That caught Eric Stevenson's attention as he took big bites on his burger.<span style="font-style: italic">Why would anyone do something like that? What do they want with the virus anyway? What good could come out of it?</span>, thought the mechanic as he focused on reading the headlines on the neighbor's i-Pad. Then again, biology haven't always been his strongest subject.<br/><br/><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold">~Naked Florida Man Shot Dead After Assaulting Ex-Cop, Eating Teenager's Face.~</span></div><br/><br/>Another one stated. Eric frowned when reading this.<span style="font-style: italic">Must be someone who'd escaped from the mental institute,</span>he thought.<span style="font-style: italic">Sad to have been put down that way though.. Then again, he probably deserved it, especially for eating the poor kid's... face..</span>He bites down again, tearing off the steak and everything else from the bigger portion in his hand. Chewing casually as if unaffected by the news.<br/><br/><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold">~Abandoned Ship Filled With Cannibal Rats Headed For British Shore.~</span></div><br/><br/>Squinting, Eric tried to look for a reporter's name or the company responsible for the story. But to his dismay, he couldn't find any. So was everything he read based on facts? Or were they merely a propaganda. But if so, how exactly can they promote a political cause or point of view? Eric just couldn't relate.<br/><br/><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold">~Body Of A Dead Man Went Missing From A Mortuary But Found 3 Miles Away.~</span></div><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">What in the world is going on?</span>Most of the headlines sounded like they're from a fiction book. It didn't make sense. It's just crazy.<br/><br/>Shuffling feet and a clatter suddenly tore Eric's attention away. He felt something fell to his lap. Something wet and hot. Impulsively, he stood, the legs of the chair dragging across the floor before Eric grabbed the serviette to wipe the spilled coffee off his jeans. The gesture more to rid the scalding sensation on his thigh rather than to rid off the coffee stain.<br/><br/>"What the f..!" he exclaimed, not finishing the cussing after hearing an immediate apology.<br/><br/>The man gritted, biting down hard on his own teeth and clenched his fists to endure the pain. This incident tends to happen every time when he wasn't paying attention to his surroundings. He glared unto the small female before him. A fierce expression on his face. Of course it was an accident. Nobody in their right mind would go around spilling hot coffee on another person. But from what he'd been reading mere seconds ago, with people doing crazy stuffs, Eric have a hard time believing it was just an accident.<br/><br/>"Why don't you watch where you're going, woman?!" he barked, unaware that the real culprit had ran off after having caused the commotion.<br/><br/>There was nothing adorable about ones' clumsiness especially when something hot or sharp got involved. He couldn't bring himself to just smile about it and say everything's alright, it's just an accident.<br/><br/>Jennifer, the female cashier from earlier stretched her neck to see what was going on. There was a sudden loudness of silence as everyone's heads turned to the two. It was awkward and might be quite embarrassing for the girl on the other end of Eric's fuming anger. Just like a quick spreading rumor, Jennifer received news of what exactly happened. She hastily grabbed a small towel, scoop up some ice cubes from the freezer and then dashed out towards them.<br/><br/>"Here, Sir!"<span style="font-style: italic">Here Eric Stevenson</span>, Jennifer said while thinking of calling the man's name. "Use this.." her hands were shaking when she handed the pack of ice to him, partly because the thought of herself going down on her knees before him and easing the burning sensation with the pack seemed too hot of a scene, making her somewhat dizzy to execute.<br/><br/>It was a gamble. Jenny knew that there might be a possibility for the nurse to initiate what she couldn't bring herself to. So she was hoping that Eric burst of anger might scare the nurse away. Or that the man would reach for what she was offering before the woman could.
