Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Jaime. She lived alone in an underground bunker in Moscow, Russia, along with her five undomesticated cats and her pet rock Jonathan. Jaime had a knack for doomsday prepping, cutting onions without crying, and taming feral animals. She was out on a stroll one evening when she received the unfortunate news that Moscow had been infected with the avian flu. Jaime feared for her life, but knew this was the moment she had been preparing for her entire life. For the next three years, Jaime would be locked up in her bunker with enough food, water, and other supplies to last the century - this is how Jaime survived the avian flu epidemic in Russia.
