#WritcoStoryPrompt80
The study for a disease that puzzled doctors and scientists for centuries has been continued. On the first day, 10 good doctors passed away due to the disease. What in the world is going on?
Write a story about same.

~Deadly threat~

They thought they had found the key. The key to unlocking the secrets of the disease that had haunted mankind for ages. The disease that had no name, no signs, no remedy. The disease that struck like lightning and killed like fire, without rhyme or reason.

The study was backed by the World Health Organization and involved 10 of the best doctors in the world. They were chosen for their skills, their bravery, and their readiness to gamble their lives for the sake of science and humanity.

They were flown to a hidden laboratory in Switzerland, where they were granted access to the most cutting-edge equipment and technology. They were also granted access to the most valuable and perilous resource: samples of the disease itself.

The samples were stored in a high-security vault, under severe quarantine and isolation protocols. Only the 10 doctors were permitted to enter the vault, wearing full-body protective suits and masks. They had to endure strenuous decontamination procedures before and after each visit.

The study was meant to last for six months. The doctors hoped to discover the origin, the nature, and the mechanism of the disease. They hoped to find a way to detect, prevent, and cure it. They hoped to save millions of lives.

But on the first day, something went terribly wrong.

One by one, the doctors fell and died inside the vault. No one knew what happened. No one knew how it happened. No one knew why it happened.

The only thing they knew was that the disease had somehow breached its containment and infected its researchers.

The only thing they knew was that they had unleashed a new and lethal menace upon the world.

The only thing they knew was that they had made a dreadful blunder.
