No one could have foreseen what was coming. It wasn't exactly like the zombie movies, but reality bore an unsettling resemblance. It is estimated that only about a quarter of the population, or perhaps even less, managed to survive. However, if the government had acted promptly, the situation might have been different. The surviving people grouped into small communities, but Alisson chose to face adversity on her own.

The memories of how it all began are still etched in her mind, like scars on memory. The collapse, the chaos... Everything crumbled rapidly, leaving humanity in a state of desperate survival. Alisson found herself immersed in that whirlwind, battling the waves of the apocalypse to stay alive on her own. Every day was a new battle, an unrelenting challenge that demanded cunning, courage, and determination.

Alisson vividly remembered the early days when confusion and fear were rampant. Chaos seized the streets, civilization crumbled, and despair gripped humanity. In that chaos, she had to make quick and difficult decisions to ensure her survival. Once bustling cities turned into desolate landscapes. Supermarkets, once stocked with food, became looted and empty. Alisson learned to trust her instincts, to move stealthily among the shadows to avoid the undead and other equally desperate survivors.

Loneliness became her only constant companion. Her daughter and husband, who once shared laughter and conversations with her, were now mere memories. But Alisson clung to the idea that, in this devastated world, individual survival was the key. Every decision, every encounter, shaped her resilience and determination to face the unknown.

As she recalled those moments, Alisson couldn't help but feel the emotional burden of loss and solitude. However, her indomitable spirit kept her standing, ready to face the challenges that still 

awaited her in this new world torn apart by the zombie pandemic.

"Goodbye, Mom!" exclaimed the girl with enthusiasm.

"Goodbye, sweetheart! Take care of Dad for me, okay?" Alisson grabbed some keys before saying goodbye.

"Sure," replied the little one, although she didn't look away as she was absorbed in playing with her new pet.

"Take care, sweetheart," she added, leaving the house.

After leaving her home, Alisson headed to her job as a cardiothoracic surgeon. With the threat of the new virus, protection was crucial, especially when dealing with patients. 

Although the InEsC.1 vaccine had arrived as a supposed solution, Alisson had her reservations, distrusting its rapid creation and the company backing it, which originated from the same country where the pathogen agent originated.

Despite her doubts, Alisson, as a healthcare worker, was compelled to receive the vaccine due to constant exposure to potential contagions. Her priority was not to endanger her family.

At her workplace, she shared her concerns with colleagues who, in a lighthearted tone, discussed vaccination. Alisson had already arrived at her workplace, finding herself in the break room as she waited for her coffee to be ready. The tension in the air was palpable, with whispered conversations among colleagues about the impending vaccination and growing concerns about the virus. As she immersed herself in her thoughts, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee attempted to provide brief relief amid the uncertainty hanging over the place.

"As I told my husband, InEsC.1 is just a government invention to slip something into us along with the vaccines," the redhead speaks.

"But still, you got vaccinated..." responds one of the doctors in the room.
