In this City, you don't need any family,  friends, or lovers. Control gives birth to you, Tutors raise you, Cora assigns you a profession and some virtual friends to keep you company.

Even though you are surrounded by other people every day, you will never truly get to know them. You don't need to because all citizens are equally your friends in a cordial, no staring in the eyes, no feelings involved sort of way.  There will be no heartache in your life because there will be no feelings to get hurt in the first place. You will be safe and peaceful your entire existence. Isn't that great?

Oh, and don't smile too much, don't frown at others, don't yell, don't cry, control yourself, you're not an animal.  But don't worry if you lose control -- there are always eyes on you and those eyes are trying to figure out what you think and feel at all times because they care about you as they do about all other citizens.  

Under the loving Eyes of Control and Cora, anyone can be marked as a potential threat to others, to themselves and sometimes, to the city. Wardens investigate those who are marked so if you break any rules expect some guests in the near future. Wardens are very friendly but still, don't break any rules...

The Virus Within: The Unranked (Book 4)

50 parts Complete

Season 4 of The Virus Within Trinity is familiar with zombies, being one herself, but when strange zombies start appearing, she realizes that the world she knew might be changing yet again. When a dangerous set of scientific notes are discovered, Trinity and her friends don't realize anything is wrong until a frantic radio call comes in. Unaware of the notes, they race to the south and struggle to determine where the strange zombies came from. The zombies are unlike any ranks previously seen, and they aren't as predictable. Some have new tricks hidden up sleeves, forcing any Stronghold they encounter to quickly adapt to the new challenge or risk being overrun. Secrets never remain hidden, and zombie apocalypses never make life easy.
