The third wave is looming, mere weeks away, but in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse, problems never come just one at a time. Season 2 of The Virus Within * * * * * Life isn't easy, and that's doubly true when you're a zombie surrounded by humans, a crazy redhead, and a far-too-curious scientist. Once you add in a long-lost sister and a Terror who doesn't know how to zombie, peace and quiet are the last things you'll find. Reports of a Nightstalker attack come mere weeks before the third wave is due, and Trinity is one of the few who have the necessary skills to take on such a zombie. Leaving her sister in the safety of the Stronghold, Trinity joins the rest of the group as they embark on a road trip to locate the feral creature before it can kill anyone else. Trouble looms on the horizon like a thunderstorm, and where there's thunder, there's lightning. You better pack your dish soap because the third wave isn't waiting for anyone.

My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.

__________________☣☣☣☣☣☣________________ It began with a discovery. A microscopic organism unearthed in the northern lands of America-ancient, predatory, and alive. Scientists named it Nyxfera, after the goddess of night, for it devoured everything it touched. One mistake. One careless hand. That was all it took for the infection to escape the lab and spill into the world. A bite, a scratch, even a drop of its black ichor in your blood was enough to twist your body into something monstrous. But these aren't the zombies you've heard of before. They don't just rot-they evolve. They mutate into new, terrifying forms, adapting with each host. Civilization collapsed in weeks. What remains is a world where survival is no longer about fighting the dead... but the ever-changing, ever-hungry Ferals that once used to be human. ______________________________________ »»»» Apocalypse has a new name.«««« ______________________________________ Welcome to FERALIGHT.

In a world where the sky has forgotten the sun, and the earth is nothing but ash, one man walks the endless silence. The cities are gone. The rivers are dry. And yet, somewhere beyond the dust, a lone tree stands a remnant of what was, and a whisper of what could be again. For Mike, survival is more than finding food or shelter... it's finding a reason to keep moving. Along the broken highways and through ghost towns, he follows fragments of an old message a voice that speaks of a place untouched by ruin. But the wasteland doesn't let go of its prey easily. Every step forward is shadowed by loss, every hope poisoned by the past. Still, he walks. Because in the heart of nothing, even the smallest seed of hope can grow. In the wasteland, the end is never just the end... it's the beginning of something else.
