The world is a hub of technology. In the years leading up to the third World War convenience and ease are the priorities for every day life. Cars drive themselves, food is prepared by machines, and human interaction is almost nonexistent within a home environment. Artificial intelligences are developed and are beginning to be used. Then war strikes, halting the world's advancements with death and chaos. Fire and blood taint the land, the sky turns grey with smog and smoke. A single year of devastation weaves itself into the tapestry of Earth's history. Then calm occurs, the world's leaders all agreeing to a mutual peace. Half of the world's population has died, either from the combat or the spread of contagion. The very next month, marking the beginning of year 2017, a man astounds the world by coming forth and announcing his discovery- the ability to surpass death.

Back by popular request! The 2017 rough draft of The Virus Within! (Caution: Contains massive plotholes that were fixed in the polished The Virus Within Series. Grammar issues are present, particularly missing commas.) What do you do when you are one of the infected? The virus in my blood is trying to steal my humanity. It alters my very thoughts and reactions. It taunts me by tempting me with desires that it planted in my brain. These bloodthirsty desires would lead to my demise if I ever gave in. I have more in common with the zombies than with humans at this point. Even the fallen zombies accept me as one of their own. Blood is required to retain my grip on sanity, but the sweet-smelling blood from humans is a short path to madness. Human blood is to be avoided at all costs. Humankind around the world was driven close to extinction by the sudden appearance of the zombies, yet small groups of survivors constantly manage to appear and put my control to the test. -------------------------- This is a standalone zombie book. It has nothing to do with A Different Virus. I wanted to try a book with an easily irritated main character and a nutcase secondary character. This book has a slightly darker outlook at the beginning than my usual stories, but it has some humor further along. Definitely not a horror story, although it has its share of action. 4 updates a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday! Copyright April 2017. All Rights Reserved.
