Why is it just me? (Character in Time Assignment)

Once an aspiring musician off the streets of New York, Andrei wanted to become the “next big thing” to hit the music industry. However, that was all lost in the past. Now he’s glad that he’s survived the virus outbreak. Few years prior to this day, RENEGADE Laboratories had exposed an infectious virus to the public. The effects of this virus destroys higher brain functions, leaving one’s cerebrum to govern one’s behavior. The infected will stop at nothing to devour your body. All Andrei’s left with is his electric guitar to bash in their skulls. He remembered the golden days, when his guitar skills would bring his fans cheering and screaming. However, nowadays he’s lucky to get past these “fans” without having his limbs clawed off. Andrei sat and wondered alone in an alley, wishing for life to be normal again. But what was normal? He couldn’t even remember. Crushing skulls and plowing through swarms of infected day by day had become the normal. He pondered whether this life was worth living. It sure isn’t a walk in the park when you’re infected, but it sure is a hell of a lot worse when you’re trying to fight against them. He’s lost his closest friends, his family, and even the love of his life to the infected.
