In a small poultry farm located in Delaney, Georgia an antigenic shift causes the H7N9 virus - also known as the deadly bird flu virus - to jump species. The contagion burns through everything in its path despite the federal government's ham-handed efforts to mask the mutated virus' true nature. Its unprecedented mortality rates soon paralyze the nation - paving the way for martial law to be established across the country.

Over a thousand miles away at a maximum security penitentiary south of Tucson, Arizona, Inmate Teddy Sanders' world of structure and routine crumbles to dust, as the virus starts spreading within the confines of the prison's walls.

As circumstances force Teddy to step out of his comfort zone and form precarious new alliances, will he be able to adapt and survive or will he succumb to the inherent dangers of the new world?

REVISED EDITION COMING OUT MONTHLY/COMPLETED In a world overrun by zombies, A single bite heralds doom - except for Kaindra, who defies death itself, being undead already. ******** As humanity struggles to adapt to the new reality of zombies-infested streets and lurking supernatural creatures from ancient myths and legends, survival becomes an ever-evolving challenge. Survival is a constant battle not only against the undead but also against supernatural creatures and their zealous followers. The relentless onslaught of zombies and the mysterious reemergence of mythical beings push society to its limits. Civilization's last bastions fall one by one, teetering on the brink of collapse. As these ancient myths awaken, they reveal intentions that are far from clear- some may hold the key to salvation, while others could herald further doom. The question remains: Can humanity unravel the mysteries of these legendary beings in time to save themselves, or will they fall prey to the very legends they once dismissed? ___ Excerpt: My eyes catch the strange shimmer that had been haunting my vision all day. Taking a deep breath, I lean closer to the mirror, my skin prickling. I thought it was a trick of the light, but as I stare at my reflection, my fragile lies crumble away. My eyes, once a deep, dark brown, had transformed into something otherworldly. They now gleamed like twin moons, radiant and enigmatic. The silver hue swirling within them, reflecting the dim light like the surface of a still, moonlit lake. The orbs seemed to hold a universe within, depths of endless mysteries and ancient wisdom beyond my grasp. ___ Warning: Mentions of suicide and self-harm Beautiful cover made by @scmimi.

The Green Flu

26 parts Complete

When the Green Flu hit, no one was prepared. Once a person is injected, they change. They become violent and hostile, and a danger to even those they love. They become mindless and only their lust for destruction leads them forward. Only a certain percent, a small percent, of the population is immune to the quickly spreading illness. When four of those people band together in search of some place safe, will they find their sanctuary or will the so called "zombies" overrun them?
