We don't choose to die, we're designed too. It was just never the creator's plan for the dead to rise again. Zombies were the characters in our nightmares, the actors in our films and the taboo we'd all secretly admired. Never did we imagine they'd become our reality. Now every day is a battle for survival, a fight against the dead that seems to be creeping ever closer. We don't choose to die. We're designed too. * This story follows a small group of teens in a race for survival against the infected, with death, disease and the unshakable feeling that they're being stalked- life just got a whole lot harder.

"...one by one the lights flickered off. The air-conditioner stopped functioning and the room was flooded with the humid warmth of mid-spring. From the bedroom, I heard the TV shut off as sounds of the football match abruptly cut off. A loud rumble that sounded like huge machinery cranking echoed through the corridors. The last bulb flickered off, and we were left enveloped in total darkness. Ruby's soft whimpers drifted into the bathroom. A last drop of water that had been hanging on the opening of the tap fell loose, hitting the sink with an unusually deafening 'plop'. A sick feeling began to rise in my stomach. Something has changed, something has happened. My life would no longer be mundane." A normal peaceful evening escalates into a nightmare when the school dormitory is placed on lockdown and Emaline is trapped inside. Armed with nothing but a baseball bat, Emaline will have to fight her way through new terrors that have arisen, friends that have turned into flesh hungry monsters and hostile troops. And every bite is fatal. A new world order has arrived, and you'd better learn the rules fast. Rated PG-13...I think? Just be prepared for some gory descriptions and strong language. Other than that, mostly just good zombie scares. ;)
