I think it's very interesting how Preston talks about Monet's life in 3rd person. I think it adds to the level of fear that may inspire in the reader because it's showing his case as if you were there, as if you were slowly watching his life go into a downward spiral. Instead of being inside of his head and knowing what he's thinking, you're left confused, just like everybody else in the waiting room. It also interests me how he personifies the hot agent inside of Monet. Preston describes the hot agent as a "life form that is attempting to convert the host into itself." The way he describes what is happening to Monet reminds me of an evil being trying to posses an innocent man, a popular in the Bible when Christ saves a little boy from being possessed by the devil. In this case, Monet's Lucifer is the hot agent.

I like your interpretation of how Preston personifies the virus. The point of view switch is a great pick up too....but he oscillates between second and third person, so he makes you a passenger on the plane :-) And yes -- it makes it ever more horrifying!!!
