    About this ebook

    It is the year 2039. On January 19th an explosion ripped through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia unleashing a virus killing over 60 million people in just 3 weeks.

    Enter Timothy Meek, a loner, and sufferer of Mysophobia (fear of contamination and germs.) Meek believes that the government's "cure" Project Red is not all it's cracked up to be. His condition certainly doesn't help things as he systematically closes himself off from the rest of the world; sealing himself in his apartment using plastic sheets and duct tape.

    Now, Meek waits all alone in his apartment; his grip on reality loosening, while the rest of the world waits for the cure. The sky will run red with blood but will the human race survive?

    Timothy Meek is a short story that can also be found in the collection Time & Space Vol. 2 by the same author.

      TIMOTHY MEEK

      Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord’s anger.

      -- Zephaniah 2:3 (King James version)

      Buffalo, New York, USA

      June 14th, 2039

      Tim was scared of a lot of things — admittedly, too many damn things — but at the moment his biggest fear was that he’d run out of duct tape before finishing; not that there was much he could do about it. The stores were all closed now, and more than likely sold out or looted long ago anyway. He’d either have enough silver tape to finish sealing the apartment in heavy clear plastic or wouldn’t. Simple as that.

      Heaven help me if I run out, though, Tim thought. He was getting itchy just thinking about it and needed to stop and go wash his hands again.

      Fucking germs…

      Tim scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed his hands practically raw, but eventually got himself under control and headed back to work, worried he was taking way too long. There was only the big dining room window left to cover but he knew he was running out of time. Back a few hours ago when he’d taken his last break there had still been four hours to prepare, but time was flying and down to a little over two hours until crunch time now. One way or
