Infected : Prologue (First Draft-ish)

This is what I have come up with so far. It still has to be finished :( anyways, tell me what you think about it so far...

"My name is David Bowen," the man typed on the computer screen.

The low humming of the hard drive mingled with the raindrops to create a subtle melody to accompany his typing. The man leaned forward in his chair, bad posture from bad habit. His thick frame glasses reflected the light of the computer screen unto itself. His hair was gray and balding, while his frail-looking fingers moved with the vigor of years past.

"I am a former CIA agent, 63, male."

The room was dim lit and ill-kept. Gigarettes littered the floor, amongst leftover pizza, rental videos, and other forgotten things. The wind hissed through the cracks in the window.

"The war to end all wars," he typed, "Was only the beginning."

...well what do you think? I'm still in the brainstorming stages for a prologue. This was the first idea that came to my head. Oh yeah, in case you were wondering, this character [David Bowen] has no importance to the story at the moment; sorry if I disappointed you :( anyways, i plan on using him as an introductory character (if such a thing exists) to explain the history before the events of the story take place. let me know what you think of this idea, thanks!
