Eclipse Earth
The city never saw it coming. A magnitude 8.7 earthquake shattered its foundations, tearing open the land and swallowing entire districts in a matter of minutes. Buildings collapsed, streets cracked apart, and the survivors who crawled from the wreckage were left in a world they no longer recognized. But that was only the beginning. In the chaos that followed, scientist Herard Brasicus and his team attempted to create a medicine to enhance human survival instincts. Their goal: to strengthen reflexes, boost endurance, and sharpen cognitive abilities, ensuring mankind could endure future disasters. Instead, they created a virus. At first, the symptoms were mild-elevated adrenaline, enhanced strength. But within weeks, the infected became erratic, aggressive, inhuman. As months passed, the virus evolved. The infected transformed into grotesque monsters, some retaining fragments of their former intelligence, while others became mindless, ravenous creatures that preyed on the uninfected. Humanity had fallen. Two years later, the remnants of civilization clung to survival in underground cities. The military, now divided into twelve specialized divisions, acted as both protectors and scavengers, tasked with defending the last of the survivors and searching for a cure.

*THE UNEDITED VERSION* Beware of typos, errors, and general mistakes. This is a very, very rough draft. "I live in a place called Compound 4. We are one of ten different compounds placed at strategic locations around the US. It's been thirteen years since the virus overtook humanity, turning about ninety percent of us into zombies. I'm not sure how it started exactly; that's classified information. I do know that in order to save what was left of the human race, the president at the time took a bunch of really smart people and kids and relocated them into new 'protected' cities. My father was one of those really smart people. I was only five at the time, but I knew what was happening." Within the walls of the compound, Jay makes stupid mistakes, mistakes even she doesn't understand, putting everyone inside at risk. All because she can't shoot someone. All because she misses the wind in her hair, the flowers on the hillsides, the sound of crickets at night. All because she's different, the only person untouchable by the Virus. When the mistakes begin to duplicate, and a girl shows up who knows her name, everything begins to change in Compound 4. Highest rank in Science Fiction: #9Dokončeno
