Welcome Back!

Welcome back to Step-by-Step Story! For this prompt, the world has been plunged into a pandemic!

Prompt: The World is Plunged Into a Pandemic

Three days ago, a pandemic broke out in Cyprus. It has spread all over Eurafrasia and killed millions. A case was reported in your city a few minutes ago. All transportation will shut down in a matter of hours. What will you do?

Instructions and Rules

Comment on what should happen next in the story! Make sure to post only one consecutive comment, please.

Also, tell other people about this! It will be more fun with more participants. Stay tuned for Step-by-Step Story #4! Please remain appropriate and kind.

Special Announcement: Step by Step Story #4

For Step-by-Step Story #4, we will do the prompt "You wake up in North Korea". It won the vote in the previous blog, and will thus become our next prompt. We will try to hold votes every few episodes. Your suggestions of prompts will always be accepted and occasionally used as voting candidates.

My huge thanks to Astana for her work on this blog. I've been so busy lately, I probably wouldn't have got it done on time without her help.

Idk what city we're in but I'm going to assume an American one because Eurafrasia is pretty much everything except South America.

And since we're in an American city, I'll assume that we already own at least 2 guns.

So to start, we go to the nearest supermarket and start grabbing as much food as possible (with our guns)

I'll flee to Rapa Nui (At least I'll be safe there) Just in case, I'll grab as much supplies as I can.

Step numbers would be nice, but they aren't really neccesary.

Also I don't know if we would have enough people to make a story if the commenting would be like that

I agree with Neo on the step numbers part, but there honestly aren't enough people for the comments to be implemented that way. Sorry.

Yeah I see what you're getting at, and would implement that if we were pulling large amounts of comments, but we just don't seem to have enough. I did notice that it's only really four or five participating users this time

Honestly this series has taken a turn for the worse, cause now it’s just utter nonsense with the occasional nuking of Cyprus. Not sure if others agree with me, but this is how I feel.

Yeah I kind of agree too

Moi aussi.

Scarcity makes it more valuable. For example, Abby's "every comment changes the world map" was hugely successful because it only happened twice, more than a year apart. People run out of good ideas quickly.
