2010 Infection Strain

Last year I got to do a virus for the Love Epidemic! This is the progression that users saw on their avatars (the base isn't done by me, I just wanted to give it context.) Nobody knew what the result was going to be, so around stage four, they were pretty worried.

The virus isn't based on anything in particular, only that idiom about "butterflies in your stomach." Because it was a love event. And... you get butterflies... in your stomach... when you fall in love. Only these are literal butterflies. Literal, homicidal butterflies.

It made sense at the time.
