The noisy Pepsi factory pounds away, making Pepsi for the small city of Leba, Poland, unaware of the small ant stumbling around on the roofs support beams inside. Suddenly the delivery truck accidently backs up into the factory wall, shaking the building, and startling the Myrmica vandeli ant. The ant losses its balance and it plummets towards a single open Pepsi can, stunned and confused the ant can only watch as it falls into the can. Seconds later the Pepsi can goes through a machine and closes the ant off from the outside world. In the meantime the workers rush to get the last cans onto the truck. Completely unaware that single Myrmica vandeli ant, trying to not drown and carrying a deadly fungus called cordyceps, is among the thousands of other cans loaded onto the truck. As the workers finish loading the cans onto the truck, then signal for the truck to start driving, not knowing that they also just signaled the beginning to the end.
John Willcast, the Pepsi delivery truck driver, pulled into the loading area five minutes ago and was impatiently waiting for the workers to load the truck. He didn’t mind waiting too long however being that his mind was drifting. John was thinking about his home, wife, and single child, he had even been thinking before he pulled into the loading area and as an effect of his daydreams he had put a rather large dent in both the factory and the delivery truck. John soon received the signal to start driving towards the Tesco store only an hour down the road. Although he knew he was on a major road and he had to focus, he still could only think about his 8 year old little daughter. It was her birthday today and he wanted to see the smile on her face when she opened her presents. Soon without realizing it the gas meter began blinking signaling the truck was out of gas, so he stopped at the gas station and started pumping in the gas. After a while realized he was thirsty and opened the back of the truck, grabbed a Pepsi and then shut the garage like door. He was on road again with a Pepsi in his hand. Once the light in front of him turned green John gulped the last of the Pepsi down and kept driving. About fifteen minutes from the Tesco store and three red lights later, John pulled up to his last red light and started to feel sick. He rolled down the window, and just in time. As soon as in was completely down John vomited all over the side of the truck and the car beside him. John felt very dizzy and then everything went black. The last thing he was thinking about was his daughter Ami Willcast, and her 8 birthday.

Eric Sherwood was just another person having a terrible day. First his alarm didn’t go off to wake him up in time to get to work at Central Maine Medical Center. Second he got fired. Next his 18 year old son Damion Sherwood got expelled from St. John Cantius High School. Then his car broke down. Finally his wife divorced him only yesterday. Now he is in his sons white SIEDLCE driving to a nearby Tesco store, all of the sudden the truck driver next to him vomited all over the side of the car. Now Eric has to wait at a red light, in a vomited on smelly car. The day is only getting worse. Finally, the light turns green but before Eric can start driving the annoying truck driver pulls into the intersection and turns the truck a little. Just enough so that Eric and many other cars couldn’t drive without crashing. Only a few moments later Eric realizes that the driver is passed out at the wheel and that’s why he pulled in front of everyone. Quickly he jumps out of the car he is driving and runs to the truck driver and asks him, “hello? Sir? Are you ok?” but all Eric gets in return is a light groan so Eric decides to take the man to the hospital, however his son’s car is blocked by the truck. By now there are about two dozen people surrounding the truck, Eric tells them to get out of the way, moves the man to the passenger seat, and begins to drive towards the hospital he used to work for. He can only think about the future and how bad this is going to be.

Eric arrives at the hospital, parks, then run inside to get help. The whole time driving there the man next to him was vomiting on himself. Once Eric gets inside his boss gives him the warm welcome of “get out of my hospital you irresponsible little worm.” Eric froze at first but soon remembered why he came and he answered by saying “I’m not here to kiss up. I found a man passed up at the wheel of a truck on the middle of the road and he won’t stop vomiting”. Eric figures that it will shut up the stumpy man that used to be his boss and it does. The man tells the women at the desk to call the paramedics down. Once the paramedics got to the truck, they quickly opened the door and a miniature river of vomit lolled out truck most of the Paramedics gaged, but they still picked the man up and brought him inside. The next day Eric came to check on the man. He and Damien drove up in a recently cleaned SIEDLCE. They parked next to the truck which had its door open and vomit still coming down the side. Eric and Damien went inside and asked the receptionist what room the man was in she kindly answered “D27, floor 3” so the two men took the second elevator to the third floor. They were looking for room D27 when suddenly, the man Eric had brought here, bursts through the door three doors in front of them. He had a killer look in his blood shot eyes, he was crying and afraid and started for the opposite side of the hall and the two men. Suddenly he vomited once again and then face planted right in it. Seconds after, a doctor by the name of Evvie Odetta, one of Eric’s previous colleges, came out of the room while saying “oh great, that’s going to so hard to clean up” awfully irritably. However as soon as she turned greeted Eric and Damian with a smile. Once the introductions where done they went into to Dr. Evvie’s room and pieced together what happened up till now.

John’s world was turning upside down ever since yesterday. He doesn’t know what’s wrong, but he is continuously vomiting and passing out. He just wants it all too just go away and see Ami again even though he knows it’s not going to happen. He was all alone and afraid of himself when he broke through that door and started running, that wasn’t him, all he could do was watch for now. He was afraid of what would happen if Ami came to see him. He was afraid of what he might do. Reality was so scary for him right now, he could only be happy in his dreams. He started dreaming of a grand castle that he got for his little girl to play in and have fun like the small plastic one they got her yesterday for her birthday. It was a happy thought in dark times, but it was only temporarily. He soon saw Ami standing above him crying, he tried to call her name but it came out as a whisper. She stopped crying as much and looked down at John. Once more John blacked out but not for long, he woke back up to the sound of Ami screaming in a corner John turned around slowly and looked at her, at this point he knew he wasn’t in control, he screamed at himself to stop but he couldn’t. In the next thirty seconds he had her on the floor and watched himself bite into her arm as she screamed. That’s the last thing he ever saw. Now he wanders the twisted depths of his own mind, hoping it was all just a dream.
