Everyone you know as of now could be gone. One scientific mishap and thus zombies became real life things. Tyler Fulekin thought that zombies were just in video games, until his parents became zombified. Ever since then, humanity as he knew it went on a downward spiral. The population of the United States by itself has already gone down by almost half, let alone all of Florida. Tampa is a ghost town. Few actual humans live there, since it's been months after the accident. Food and water has become more scarce, and the air's condition is potentially uninhabitable for humans, if it keeps this up. Who knew that one chemical mixture, one chemical change, could make such a disaster in a split second. Tyler definitely didn't.
As all his friends at school die off and become zombies, Tyler has become a shell of his former self. He never talks to anyone, he doesn't even play any video games anymore. The school itself has shut down. Not voluntarily, but because the whole staff has been taken. Only a few people remain not infected by the terrible disease Tyler likes to call "Pre-Death". Those few people all gather up, and with what resources they have, they survive, and somehow try to prevent the disease at its epicenter.
Note: I'm gonna try to keep it less mature, but since it's, ya know, a zombie apocalypse, they're has to be some violence. I'm keeping a low on the romance, because that's hellish in this kind of story.
After an epidemic that gave half the population an incurable disease, only a few major cities remained. One of these included the wealthy city of Tallahassee, Florida, where they had the brightest minds looking for a cure.
George Davidson was among those minds: his father was one of the richest people in the world prior to the outbreak and had sent George to one of the most prestigious medical schools in the country. Afterwards, after an incident that caused much grief in the Davidson family, George's father had set George on finding a cure. Finally, after four years of sleepless nights and painful losses, George had done it. He'd found the cure. But if that was the case, then why did he hire a coyote to smuggle him out of the city? Why did he run away with the only known cure for zombie-ism?
TW: there's not much in this story other than some depictions of blood, violence, death, and just overall gross/gory stuff
