In Tom Clancy's / Ubisoft's "The Division" some really "mad scientist" unleashed a genetically modified version of smallpox via contaminated US $ bills on Black Friday 2015 in New York. Just a week or two later millions of people are dead, the government and all the state institutions are gone and inoperable, what is left of the US emergency services and the US military operates as the sad remnants called "Joint Task Force" but cannot hold onto more than local safe zones and houses, especially in the big cities. Before succumbing to a heart attack President Waller authorized the activation of a network of sleeper agents of the Strategic Homeland Division in an attempt to regain control from raiders, rioters, criminals and all kinds of assholes who used the breakdown to let out their basest and lowest of instincts. It did not quite work that way ... especially since some Division agents followed own sinister agendas and worked against their own comrades-in-arms.
But outside the major cities and all the stories of Agents, soldiers and US citizens trying to claw back their way to a decently civilized life there are other stories. Additionally the US, whatever it may be at the moment (with 2020's own version of a pandemic and a deeply divided country), was and probably always will be a country with strong tourism and hundreds of thousands of visitors from abroad. After reading some stories about "ordinary John/Jane Doe characters" I was beginning to wonder what such a "foreign visitor" stuck in this mess might be experiencing ... from foreign social rules to the prevalence of firearms (which is not a thing in much of Europe and especially my home country of Germany) and especially being cut off from returning home, probably forever.

A Different Virus - Laura's Story
This is a second view point from my original story - A Different Virus - Heartfire. I highly advise reading the original book first. Intro: Laura was a happy child without a care in the world. She loved her parents and life was perfect. Nothing seemed like it could go wrong. People started talking about a bad flu that was spreading and sending some into a coma. Her parents grew worried and stocked the house in case of a pandemic. Months later another virus appeared. Her family was shocked when the news people started reporting that zombies were actually real and not just part of a horror movie. They were appearing in every country. Her parents reassured her that none of the zombie sightings had been anywhere close to them. Her life is turned upside down when her father ends up in hospital with the bad flu and mother exiles her upstairs for her safety. She was never allowed downstairs again. Weeks pass and the streets become deserted with the exception of the red eyed zombies that wandered around. One night she notices a swiftly moving figure with glowing blue eyes in the street below. Should she call out or remain silent? Is this fleeting shadow something that can help her or could this mysterious figure be even more dangerous than the zombies themselves? ---------------------- Ranked #1 Apr 10, 2018 (A huge thank you to all who read and voted!)

The Sisterdale Six: A Bag Men Story
40 years ago, the world as we know it was destroyed by hordes of the undead. But the threat isn't gone. It has evolved. In the year 2027, the American Government buckled under the weight of millions of undead, whose inexorable push Westward drove away and killed every living thing until only nothingness was left. Many years later, most of the survivors (and their descendants) believe that the infected have been wiped off the face of the Earth. They are mistaken. What the scientists and researchers of the Republic of Sacramento eventually came to understand was that the virus had not been eradicated. Instead, it had changed, become something much worse. Its new form, the Vox Humana Virus, is so called because of its distinct evolutionary advantages over its predecessor: rather than kill the host, VHV in a sense disables the host-body's linkup with the brain, rendering it a puppet in service to the parasite. Because these new "Sleepers" do not shamble or groan or bear any characteristics that would easily distinguish them from a normal human being, they can now infect entire populations before anyone even knows they have arrived. Sacramento's response to this new threat was the institution of the Bureau of Public Health, an innocuously named super-agency whose staff are granted authority above and beyond any other citizen. The Agents, colloquially known as "Bag Men," are the gatekeepers, it is they who identify and exterminate Sleepers. Into this mess Troy Myers will step, one day. However, in 2040, he finds himself in the badlands bordering the cities of the new Tri-Texan Confederacy, looking for something, maybe a place to call home. Maybe, inside all this death, there will be a chance for peace. In the meantime, the kill count racks up and up. If Troy wants to live, he'll have to pay for his time with bullets. The Bag Men series is written by Silas Jackson and J.R. Traas. Find us: https://www.facebook.com/SACBPH https://twitter.com/wordofmypeopleComplete

My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal.

Operation Raccoon City
Same as my other 4 books I wrote Resident evil 0, 1, 2 and 3. This is Operation Raccoon City, I will be watching the gameplay on youtube, since I do not own this game. (It does tie super well with the storyline, especially of Resident Evil 2 and 3) I will be writing it through, some in my own words and some as per the game. I am not going into deep, deep details either... Like this is just a enjoyment for me to write and publish for the heck of it. It's not going to be perfect. There is no movies or books that I seen that are really close to the games, story type. Took it into my own hands basically. If you like it you like it if not then not. I'm writing this because I adore Resident Evil games and felt like it would be fun for me to play and write about the story of the games. (It is copywritten from the game) (Rights reserved to capcom) (This book is 100% complete) (I do not own the game so I could not get images of the specific areas that they visited...) Now the people that have never played the games here is what this one is about... The U.S.S. Team was deployed to get rid of any evidence of Umbrella Corporation being involved in the outbreak. They go through numerous challenges throughout the whole time there in the city getting rid of all the evidence and some of team seem to be willing to backstab Umbrella. Hmm wonder how that will play out for them... SpecOps Echo Six, an elite group from the U.S. Government. They were deployed to contain the incident and neutralize it. As well as rescue civilians and get information on Umbrella. Faced with a bunch of Bioweapons every step they take as well and U.S.S Solder's. Will they survive?Complete![Still Reminiscent (A Pre-Apocalyptic Survival Story) [Discontinued]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/328579250-256-k985816.jpg)
Still Reminiscent (A Pre-Apocalyptic Survival Story) [Discontinued]
In the year 2022 a mysterious virus erupts in the city of New Yoke Town. What begins as an isolated outbreak rapidly spirals into a full-blown pre-apocalypse - buildings burn, panic spreads, and humanity is forced to reckon with a world where the living and the dead blur. The story follows multiple survivors - ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances, each trying to stay alive in a world going to hell. We meet a hardened "shotgun fellow" whose past haunts him, a crewman uneasy in this new reality, and numerous others trying to adapt to chaos. As society crumbles, the infected - referred to as "turned" - become relentless predators, and survival becomes a matter of constant flight, distrust, and brutal choices. The narrative explores not just the threat of the virus, but the human cost: betrayal, the breakdown of community, and how people react when the rules no longer apply. Eventually, a powerful corporation called the Revert Corporation takes the blame for the outbreak. A "cure" emerges, but only after waves of death and suffering. Some survivors who receive the cure undergo a strange transformation - gaining new powers, or becoming something beyond mere human. The tone is dark, raw and urgent. There's no fantasy system, no supernatural magic setup - just the nightmare of infection, collapse, and the fight to keep one's humanity. The author notes upfront: graphic violence, profanity, sad endings, survival horror. ------------------ORIGINAL STORY-------------------- All Rights Reserved.Complete
