Mystery
In the final weeks before Thanksgiving break, Imogene's life takes a catastrophic turn. What begins as an ordinary winter cold - with headaches, sinus pressure, and fatigue - evolves into a global nightmare. Some begin dropping dead, coughing up blood in horrifying scenes that you would only see in the movies. The worst part of all of this comes when the dead don't stay down. Just before finals Imogene and her classmates witness a car crash. People began surrounding the car attacking with unrelenting fury and tearing into flesh with their teeth. Chaos erupts, and the world begins to crumble around her. Fleeing to the safety of her family home, Imogene finds an unexpected ally waiting for her: Sam, a colleague of her father's. Together, they set out on a dangerous journey through cities teeming with the infected. Along the way, they form unlikely bonds with other survivors, finding moments of humanity amid the devastation. Holidays are celebrated in bittersweet fashion, friendships are forged, and courage is tested as the group fights to survive against overwhelming odds. But with the infected growing more relentless and humanity's future hanging by a thread, Imogene must confront the ultimate question: How far will she go to save the people she loves?

*****THIS STORY IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING A MASSIVE REWRITE - FINAL WORK IS CURRENTLY BEING POSTED AS A NEW STORY ON MY PAGE - UPDATES SPORADIC ***** "You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for." [New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: Most of the population is dead, some have turned into vicious, crazed creatures who want nothing more than to eat you, and a small percentage are left to try to survive. Nothing is the way it was. With not much more than a pistol and a vague idea of what she's doing, Claire Harrington ventures out into this new, unforgiving world with only one real goal: to keep her younger sister safe. The odds are against her, until she runs into Parker and finds herself reluctantly accepting his offer to help. Trust is a fragile thing. Humanity is a construct. Love is a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.
