[On hiatus.] What would you do if the apocalypse started right now, forcing your entire town to its knees within twenty minutes (1,200,000 milliseconds)? 

It was a generic summer day when Ben and Nate Healy's parents accidentally caused an apocalyptic viral outbreak, leaving the two teens to fend for themselves in the disease-ridden state of Florida. They're left with nothing but a series of videos and an entryway to a mysterious set of underground tunnels to find their way to the safe haven their parents have locked themselves in. However, after realizing the first video was broadcast to the public, they discover they're not the only ones looking to stay healthy.
  
Max and Margot Iyengar will do anything to get into that haven. After losing a friend to the virus, they make a pact to stay together and keep each other out of harm's way. But Max starts to see a different side of Margot-- the side willing to sacrifice anything to find a cure for the virus and save her girlfriend from the label of "Infected." Including Max and anyone else who comes across her path.
  
Fighting for their lives and a spot in the Haven, these four angsty teens team up to take on the other teenage gangs and the conscious diseased that roam the chaotic subworld of the tunnels. But can they survive the Epidemic without becoming Infected? Or will the hazardous disease of insanity get to them first?

The Virus Within (Original rough draft) by CrystalScherer

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. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story. Fanfictions are allowed to use my *world* and *zombie ranks* as long as credit is given.

*****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.

18 parts Complete

The world turned into despair and mess as a virus spread through people. People who were now creatures infected with such virus. They kill, infect, and they are dangerous. A new blood flowing through their bodies, their DNA mixed with living animals and more. Making them faster, stronger, and hungrier. Some people survived. Those said people could be living the best they could, some ought to find a "cure". Through the journey we follow Leo who has just lost his family from the infected. He doesn't want to, but he needs to trust others in mean to survive. He came to trust Akari who was part of a group that took him in. A trustful bond that turned stronger. A bond that was as strong as veins pumping blood through a crazed beast.
