This is Survival

Once upon a time, a crazy scientist started a quest to find the ultimate cure. The cure for death.
He aimed for immortality. He got it, but with a twist.
Those who took his cure effectively became immortal. Nothing could hurt them. No virus, no weapon, no nothing. They became indisputably immortal... But at what price?

Slowly those who took the "cure" started to change.
First, their bodies rejected food.
Then, they started to lose their sanity. They hallucinated terrifying nightmares.
Until lastly, they lost themselves. They began craving meat, human meat.

If they didn't consume it, their bodies would begin to decay, and ultimately they would crumble into a pile of rotten meat and bones.

I was 19 when the so called "zombie apocalypse" began.
I was alone, studying in Silicon Valley, when I first received the chilling messages of my family.

"Amor, I love you, eres mi hija adorada"
"Take care hoe, don't die too soon"

I had lost all hope until my older brothers message came
"Hey kid, chill. I'm taking them to the south, to the house in Tierra del Fuego. I doubt those rotting hotdogs know how to swim, and if they do I believe they will freeze. Girl, I have faith in you. See you there"

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what made me begin my very own quest to get home.
