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.
This book follows four teenagers from four different parts of the U.S. when their lives are dramatically changed one day. When zombies become real and more than just horror movies and scary books, they're forced to fight to stay alive. What they don't know is how similar their struggles are, along with their goal: get to the supposed safe haven alive.
(The book is under editing right now, and I'll be changing the location of the safe haven from Columbus to Cincinnati. I didn't really think it through when I first wrote this but I think that Cincinnati would make a little more sense. Sorry for any confusion!)

BEING REWRITTEN
I started writing this at 14, and it started out as something I made just for fun. The story was mostly imporvised, and I don't like how it's turned out. I've had a lot of new and hopefully more interesting ideas, and there's so much that I decided to rewrite the whole thing completely. The story will be very different but the characters will be the same for the most part. It'll have the same style of writing with the different points of view, but separated between books instead of chapters, and I already have a storyline laid for the first 2 or 3.
I'm sorry for the people that like the original story and were hoping for more, so I won't be deleting this one. I'll update on my page once I start posting chapters of the new series.
