People spend years putting themselves together. The apocalypse tears them down in a day. ---- When the apocalypse comes, it catches the world off guard. There are no zombies, natural disasters, atomic bombs, nor any other massive event as many expected. Instead, it is a disease spread through bodily fluids, one that imposes itself in the worst possible manner: by picking apart an individual's mind and turning them into their worst fears. In a matter of days, the infected become their personal nightmare. Be careful. Most diseases are frightening, but this one knows exactly what you don't want to become. ---- Written for The Day After Project hosted by @DragonSwirl. Cover photo by Diana Marta. Contains light swearing, drug use, gore, and romantic content.

What would you do if one second you were struggling to survive with your friends and mother in tow, and then you wake up to find yourself with a group of strangers the next - all during the country's takeover of blood-thirsty zeds? Megan couldn't believe her eyes. Her brain was muddled with confusion she couldn't get rid of, no matter how many times those strangers reassured her and explained what happened. But she had to accept it, even though it didn't make any sense to her. Megan had been with her mother every step of the way since everything turned to chaos, beginning just a year before, and now she was nowhere to be seen. And on top of that, she had the zeds to deal with. Ghastly creatures that used to be human, carrying a virus that's spread through a constant hunger for flesh from the host, spreading through bites and scratches. It didn't exactly make it easy to prevent getting infected. Things could have been worse, though, Megan thought. She could've been left all alone to ponder over her thoughts and fear over the future. It'll only be within the time spent with the new group will she find out that everything's not as happy and welcoming as it had seemed. These people had a few secrets of their own, including the real reason they took Megan in. She would soon find out just how far people would go to ensure their own survival. -------------- Please check out my first finished novel.
