How many hours are in a day when you don't spend half of them watching television? When is the last time any of us really worked for something that we wanted? How long had it been since any of us really needed something that we wanted? The world we knew is gone. The world of commerce and frivolous necessity has been replaced by a world of survival and responsibility. An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept the globe causing the dead to rise and feed on the living. In a matter of months society has crumbled, no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable tv. In a world ruled by the dead, we are forced to finally start living. ****DISCLAIMER**** I do not own The Walking Dead, any of the characters or the story line itself. All rights go to AMC and Robert Kirkman. All original characters and plots that are neither in the comic nor television series are my own, and they are all that I claim for. If you have any queries about what I have written here feel free to ask, I'm a reasonable person.

The world is over, it's as simple as that. Well not completely over there still are people walking around. But they aren't what you call human. They feed on human flesh, killing millions and not caring one bit. Tess was just your normal teenage girl. She had her issues that most girls have at her age. But then the world went to shit and all she has left is the group of survivors she found on her way to safety. They are her family but what will happen when her new family is threatened by the creatures roaming the world and the people she trusts most? Will everyone be able to handle the terrible destruction going on around them or will it cause them to become a different kind of monster.
