Something is wrong with the trees. This is the first thing "Dani" Coburn realizes on her way home from work one night. Trees don't run like bones breaking. And they most certainly don't eat people. At least, they didn't used to.

Dani, and a group of survivors, must now navigate a compromised apartment high-rise for refuge while the world crumbles outside. What are these creatures? Why are they here? And why are some of them wearing human skin?

In the aftermath of life-altering events, Y/N L/N finds himself trapped in a turbulent struggle to rebuild his shattered world. Five years have passed, yet the wounds of a devastating breakup and an insidious, unidentified virus continue to haunt him relentlessly. As the virus slowly transforms him, Y/N battles with an overwhelming sense of isolation and despair. To compound his anguish, the love of his life, Ellie, has moved on and discovered solace in the arms of another. Y/N watches from the side-lines as she embraces happiness with someone new, a bitter reminder of the love he lost. However, fate takes an unexpected turn when Y/N is abducted by a vengeful faction known as the Fireflies. Led by a commanding Colonel hell-bent on enforcing his will upon humanity, they see Y/N's immunity as a means to exert control. Bound by captivity, Y/N must confront a pivotal choice surrender to his evolving nature or desperately cling to the remnants of his former self, all in hopes of earning Ellie's forgiveness. Amidst this harrowing struggle, a dormant monster from the past awakens, threatening to plunge Y/N into a maelstrom of darkness and chaos. As he navigates treacherous alliances and confronts his own inner demons, Y/N must find the strength to forge his own path in a world teetering on the brink of destruction. Will Y/N succumb to the ever-changing virus within, or will he grasp onto the fragile threads of his humanity in a bid to reclaim the love he once held dear? The answers lie in the shadows of a hauntingly beautiful and treacherous world, ready to test the limits of his endurance and resilience.

When you are infected with the virus, there are four stages. 1) Your fever will shoot up and everything will become intensified on a maximum level. You'll lose grip on what's reality and what's illusion. 2) You'll start to slowly fall down the rabbit hole, forgetting the past and everything and everyone that you knew. 3) You face your imminent death. 4) You wake up with a pressing hunger for the living. It's been seven months since the pandemic hit with this virus and the world has been ravaged and left to ruins. Society has crumbled to nothing and more than three fourths of the population have been infected with the mysterious virus that took the world by storm. The virus has turned anyone infected into crazed flesh-eating freaks, with decrepit skin and red puffy eyes. The only way to kill them is by obliterating the brain. Elise Alice Gordon, Lease for short, led a simple life until the virus hit. Seven months later she is just barely scraping by. She's done what she's had to do to survive, and in that process she has created demons that haunt her every time she closes her eyes. See, it hasn't been easy trying to live in a dead world. She's lost friends, family, and everything she's ever known. The only thing she hasn't lost is her humanity and her hope. But she's afraid she's starting to. Because in this new world, there's only her, the dead, and the restless. © 2012 by Ashtyn Mane. All rights reserved.
The Virus Within (Original rough draft) by CrystalScherer
144 parts Complete
Back by popular request! The 2017 rough draft of The Virus Within! (Caution: Contains massive plotholes that were fixed in the polished The Virus Within Series. Grammar issues are present, particularly missing commas.) What do you do when you are one of the infected? The virus in my blood is trying to steal my humanity. It alters my very thoughts and reactions. It taunts me by tempting me with desires that it planted in my brain. These bloodthirsty desires would lead to my demise if I ever gave in. I have more in common with the zombies than with humans at this point. Even the fallen zombies accept me as one of their own. Blood is required to retain my grip on sanity, but the sweet-smelling blood from humans is a short path to madness. Human blood is to be avoided at all costs. Humankind around the world was driven close to extinction by the sudden appearance of the zombies, yet small groups of survivors constantly manage to appear and put my control to the test. -------------------------- This is a standalone zombie book. It has nothing to do with A Different Virus. I wanted to try a book with an easily irritated main character and a nutcase secondary character. This book has a slightly darker outlook at the beginning than my usual stories, but it has some humor further along. Definitely not a horror story, although it has its share of action. 4 updates a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday! Copyright April 2017. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story. Fanfictions are allowed to use my *world* and *zombie ranks* as long as credit is given.
