Jeff was 25. Everyone had been telling him that he was in the height of his life, that he would have a great time, that he would get out and accomplish his dreams. But, from Jeff's perspective, they couldn't have been more wrong. He had a boring 9-5 job, not getting enough money for anything substantial and no time to go out and work towards his dreams. Ever since graduating highschool, he had been so focused on his job that he had barely talked to anyone, to the point where he wouldn't consider anyone his friend anymore.
Jeff was out on one of his rare walks on the beach. It was relaxing, and distracted him from the state of his life. However, today, he just couldn't get his mind off of it. He just wanted to add some spice, a twist, something, anything interesting.
As Jeff walked up to his house, he noticed a small package on the doorstep, simply labelled Chronivac. He couldn't remember buying anything recently, but he took the package inside, curious. Opening it up, he found a weird USB device, and a CD. Both were labelled Chronivac 4.0. Jeff dropped the CD into his computer, and plugged in the USB.
After the program installed, Jeff opened it up. It was some kind of simulation game, where he had the ability to change anything about the world. He started with something small, to see how it worked. He searched for people, and was amazed, and a little horrified, when he discovered everyone in the world was in this program. It was more advanced than he thought. Selecting his own character, he replaced his old iPhone 5 with the latest model. He clicked save, wondering what would happen.
He looked down, and noticed that his iPhone 5 had actually become the latest one! How was that possible? This software wasn't a simulation, but was able to alter the entire world! Thousands of ideas of how to spice up his life, and even the entire world, swam through his mind. He didn't know much about how Chronivac worked, so he decided to explore it, and see what he could do.
On the homepage, he noticed a virus option. Clicking on it, he decided to create a new one. It would originate in North America, but eventually spread around the world. Now came the fun part. The symptom. He thought of everything he could do. Muscle growth, height loss, gender change, species change, but he eventually settled on something he always found hilarious - Southern Americans. Jeff loved to mock their dumb, patriotic attitudes, their oblivious nature, and their obsession with guns, and fried food. And as such, he decided to make the symptom a full transformation into a full-on southerner. The state and other details would be random, but they would have a full physical and mental transformation into a southerner. Jeff decided to make the virus highly contagious, spreading through coughs, sneezes, kisses, and sometimes, even clothing. Clicking submit, he unleashed the virus in New York, Washington DC, Seattle, LA, Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, and Mexico City. Jeff couldn't wait for the news stories to roll in, the world to change, and fun times to begin. As one last detail, he made himself immune, at least for now, so he could observe the changes.c
