Julian stared up at the carved grey stone that hung by chains from the ceiling of the main lobby. Reading the text felt like  reading something in a dream, where the words kept shifting and changing each time his eyes scanned over a line. As near as he could tell, it said,

    Have you see Them in the watchfires of a hundred circling camps?
    Have you built to Them an altar in the evening dews and damps?
    Have you read the RIGHTEOUS SENTENCE by the dim and flaring lamps?
    Their TRUTH is marching on.

The hairs on the back of Julian's neck stood up after he finished reading, and he knew then that he was in too deep to ever go back to the way things had once been.

The Virus Within: The Unranked (Book 4)

50 parts Complete

Season 4 of The Virus Within Trinity is familiar with zombies, being one herself, but when strange zombies start appearing, she realizes that the world she knew might be changing yet again. When a dangerous set of scientific notes are discovered, Trinity and her friends don't realize anything is wrong until a frantic radio call comes in. Unaware of the notes, they race to the south and struggle to determine where the strange zombies came from. The zombies are unlike any ranks previously seen, and they aren't as predictable. Some have new tricks hidden up sleeves, forcing any Stronghold they encounter to quickly adapt to the new challenge or risk being overrun. Secrets never remain hidden, and zombie apocalypses never make life easy.
