This is a short story about a zombie apocalypse, and the immune who have found a way to survive.
" I looked out at the dying land with a sense of dread. My heart and mind felt heavy. There was nothing living within a ten mile radius of the city. The infected the travelers brought in made sure of it. No plants, no wild animals, and no running water anywhere close.
There was nothing that could survive, well almost nothing. Everyone within the city limits was immune. Their white hair and blue eyes marked them as mutated humans. Even the pets had been made immune. Immunity wasn't easy to come by, 80% died during the transition. But it was an easy choice to make, you were more likely to die of starvation, dehydration, murder, or being infected, outside the city limits.
You were denied access to the city if you choose to not take the cure. If you died during the transition, your body didn't go to waste: it was used as bait to lure in more infected. Lauren, the only known survivor of the bite wanted to fix our broken world. So we collected those who had been lost, leading them back to the city. Burning the bodies in the center, ridding the world of more and more of the sick. It was tiring work, but it had to be done if things were to return to some sense of normalcy."
