In the year 2025, World War 3 began. By 2027, people grew fed up and weary, causing them to make rash decisions. In a fit of frustration, the bombs were dropped, and billions died. They weren't dead for long though, and soon, a new war started - one between the living and the dead. No one knows why they came back, and no one cared, their only focus was on surviving. Despite this, most people assumed it was some kind of disease and took to calling it the "Red Virus" suiting the blood red eyes the dead had when they came back. Millions more died, leaving a dwindling army to fight an endless battle. One year after the dead began to rise and the battle was still being fought. Survivors struggled daily to live until the next morning, fighting hunger, disease, and the dead. The worst fight, though, was when they had to fight themselves, when survivors were forced to battle their already dwindling numbers. Will humanity manage to bring itself back to its feet? Or will the dead shred it beyond repair? Or, worse yet, will the remaining humans rip themselves apart with their own greedy desires?

The Wildfire Virus. That's the illness the eggheads have called dubbed that has spread alarmingly fast all over the world. No could figure out at first how and where it came from or how even spread so quickly. I was on leave, visiting brother in Boston when the infection hit. Yesterday, the world was normal with its own conflicts. The next, millions get sick, hospitals are overwhelmed, and any sort of space was converted into a makeshift hospital to handle all the sick. On day 2 the sick died and awoke attacking the living. I tried to get out of the city, but the military closed off every major access point and now I'm trapped within, along with millions of undead. I must get out of the city with any means necessary. Winner of 28 awards including: Unknown Story, Best Cover, Random, Voted King of Action, and Voters Choice
