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.
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.
