Coughing is the first symptom. 

Next is vomiting.

Next is the boils and pus that is on your ruff skin.

Then. Worst of all. 

Is the voices inside your head telling you something.

To Kill. To Eat. 

To Eat. The young ones.



    The year of 2022 in Washington D.C, The virus struck Washington D.C at 6:23pm. The time where mostly everyone in Cathlamet town is eating dinner with their family. 

    The Virus first struck all of Europe like a wildfire. Then It was Asia. Next was South America. Then Finally it struck North America. The First place In North America to be hit with the virus Was Florida. People didn't really know the guy but all people knew was through rumors.

   "Did you hear?" Said Brittney who was part of Group B of the Larkins group. 

   "Yeah, on how the virus all started. I heard some of the nastiest rumors." whispered another kid.

   The Larkins group was was divided into 6 sections. A, B, C, D, E, and F.

   A- The medics.

   B- The babysitters.

   C- The hunters.

   D- The scavengers.

   E- Blacksmiths.

   F- The watch guards.


   They started that way of organization when group D's fighter, McKenzie, became Co-leader of the Larkins group.


"Yo Tet! Where's that short little dude?" Yelled Calloway in a masculine voice. 

From a distance Calloway spots a 4'10 short boy with cropped hair wearing bagging shorts and a sweater.

"What's up Cal?" 

"Since you are the leader of the watch group, do ya'll mind if you wait on the roof of the school to wait for my group to come back? You know back from scavenging." said Calloway spinning his spear, trying to show off.

"Sure can do mate. I'll send 4 of the watch guards up to the roof, and 2 of them to the gates."

"Thanks bud." grinned Calloway. As soon Calloway got to his group by the library, he nodded to Bryan as Bryan got the groups attention.

"Attention everybody! We are heading out. We'll be back before dark. Don't get to rusty without me." smirked Bryan. 

"Also and Tet is in charge!~" said Bryan running though the doors.

Great, why did I make that bozo in charge.
