I sat on top the Empire State Building in New York City. My wings were wrapped around me to keep me warm on that cold night. Yes, I do have wings, and I know it's weird. But I'll tell you how that happened to me later on.

As I looked down onto what had become of my home, it saddened me. It reminded me of the thing I was trying so hard to forget. The sad scene I looked at made me think of what had killed my family and my friends. It was hard to give it up, to keep on going each day to try to find out what was going on. The few people left looked like ants from this high up. They were just specs in the massive city that used to make me so happy. It was hard to think about what had happened. I wake up everyday wishing it was all just a nightmare. But it was all so real. There was no getting rid of it. You're probably wondering what I'm talking about. Here, I'll explain.

Three weeks ago disease broke out. Scientists were calling it genetic mortification disorder, or GMD for short. Basically what it did was turn whatever it infected into a zombie-type creature; you're body decayed slowly over a month and by the end of the month you were completely decayed. But, you would die before that because you started decaying from the inside out. Once you were infected, there was no was to cure you of it, but you wouldn't want to be cured; all day you would crave human flesh. GMD had spread like wildfire. It started somewhere in Africa, I'm not sure where. All I know is that it spread and it spread fast. Scientist tried to study it,but dealing with the disease only caused them to become infected, thus destroying the world's hope for a cure or even a vaccine for GMD. And now, there's only one hundred people left in the world, and one of them is me.

I like the idea, but a few words of advice. Start with something memorable if this is the beginning, just a fast one-liner or a quote he says... And pace out your information, try and not explain everything so fast, so you make the reader want to find out why the character is sitting there.

Hope that helped!
