Cienfuegos, Cuba

Today I met Seryosha Garcia Alvarez in his ofie on the sixty-ninth floor of the MAlpica Savings and Loans building which is the second-tallest building in Cuba. The view was amazing. He started off by telling me that the first zombie cases were small mostly containing Chinese refugees and European businessmen. Travel from the United States was still largely prohibited so they were spared the initial blow of first-wave migration. Because Cuba had so many doctors their leader knew the nature of the infection weeks before the first outbreak. Before the Great Panic began Cuba was already prepared for a war. Cuba's invaders mostly came from the sea. Cuba had resettlement camps which Seryosha said were not as bad as prison camps but they put you to work for 12 to 14 hours. Each camp had a rumor about "zombie pits" if you acted bad they would feed you to them. Cuba had 5 million yankees and let 10 percent work outside the camps doing jobs that the Cubanos no longer wanted. Cuba became a very wealthy country and became the air hub for both North and South America.
