"WE WERE THE PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT IN THE PAPERS. WE LIVED IN THE BLANK WHITE SPACES AT THE EDGES OF PRINT. IT GAVE US MORE FREEDOM. WE LIVED IN THE GAPS BETWEEN THE STORIES."
- Margret Atwood, The Handmaids Tale
"IT IS TRUE, WE SHALL BE MONSTERS, CUT OFF FROM AL THE WORLD; BUT ON THAT ACCOUNT WE SHALL BE MORE ATTACHED TO EACH-OTHER."
- Mary Shelley, Frankenstein
BOUND BY BLOOD, a saying three children were all too familiar with. No matter what they did, no matter what they believed, they were always tied down to their place of origin, the people that gave them life. There was no escape from that.
However, that was before the dead started rising. In this new world, not only are they figuratively bound by blood, but as they strive to survive the flesh eating monsters that have now overtaken civilisation, they find themselves coated in the thick metallic liquid.
These children were now quite literally 'BOUND BY BLOOD AND BRAINS'.
