Extract

Imagine staying in a charming log cabin in the mountains. It is a beautiful day. The sun is shining; the birds are singing. Hearing the soft song of a whippoorwill or the low coo of a dove typically conjures thoughts of a peaceful and serene environment. Imagine instead that the sweet wild birds and those beautiful songs fill you with a cold terror. A shiver runs down your spine as you suddenly realize that disease-ridden, killer birds harboring a deadly virus surround you. Slowly, carefully, you make your way back to the cabin and lock yourself inside.
