A scientific miracle has occurred in 2025, there has been snow falling down in sleets; in July. Everyone knows by common sense that July is for the sunny days and beach fun, but snow, everyone is dumbstruck. At first, people accept it, play in the frost wonderland as if it's actually December again. But soon it grows worse; civilians stranded in their homes, deadly frostbite, the human race is coming to rapid close. Elizabeth Wallace's father is a world-class scientist. He's the man who was on the team that cured cancer, the guy who concurred that the Common Cold isn't all that dangerous, and the savior of time in year 2025. Will doomsday fall onto Earth's citizens because of this realistic fantasy?

In the year 2022 a mysterious virus erupts in the city of New Yoke Town. What begins as an isolated outbreak rapidly spirals into a full-blown pre-apocalypse - buildings burn, panic spreads, and humanity is forced to reckon with a world where the living and the dead blur. The story follows multiple survivors - ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances, each trying to stay alive in a world going to hell. We meet a hardened "shotgun fellow" whose past haunts him, a crewman uneasy in this new reality, and numerous others trying to adapt to chaos. As society crumbles, the infected - referred to as "turned" - become relentless predators, and survival becomes a matter of constant flight, distrust, and brutal choices. The narrative explores not just the threat of the virus, but the human cost: betrayal, the breakdown of community, and how people react when the rules no longer apply. Eventually, a powerful corporation called the Revert Corporation takes the blame for the outbreak. A "cure" emerges, but only after waves of death and suffering. Some survivors who receive the cure undergo a strange transformation - gaining new powers, or becoming something beyond mere human. The tone is dark, raw and urgent. There's no fantasy system, no supernatural magic setup - just the nightmare of infection, collapse, and the fight to keep one's humanity. The author notes upfront: graphic violence, profanity, sad endings, survival horror. ------------------ORIGINAL STORY-------------------- All Rights Reserved.
