The Final Epizon : A Beginning by last_Descendant

'Zombie'- a fictional word made by humans for those who are infected by a virus. But who could tell that this so called virus would appear in real life but in a different form with even more horrifying truth and theory. __________ It was meant to be a day filled with laughter and catching up on old times, as Att, Kei, and Naveah reunited with each other. However, their joyous moment was abruptly cut short when they faced the first chaos. Within moments, everything turned into a part of a horrific plague, where they desperately attempted to get out of the situation, thinking it was like any other Zombie apocalypse they've seen on screens. But the reality turned out even more cruel and terrifying than they expected. Since it turned out to be entirely different from the word 'zombie'. In the midst of all the death and life they met another ally, who was about to become a cherished part of their group. With each passing day, they huddled together in different moments, towards a dead end of cruelty. [The story is based on the true theory of Alfred Russel in 1859]

We are dead by goblinatorgator

The bus ride to the retirement home had been uneventful-the low hum of chatter, the occasional burst of laughter, and the rhythmic bumps of the road beneath the tires. Star sat by the window, watching the world blur past, her fingers absentmindedly tapping against her knee. Beside her, Alin leaned in with a smirk. "You look tense," he teased, nudging her shoulder. She rolled her eyes. "I'm fine." From the seat in front of them, Stanley snorted. "She's just nervous because she has to talk to actual people today." Star shot her brother a glare. "Not everyone enjoys socializing as much as you do, Stanley." Alin chuckled, draping an arm lazily over the back of the seat. "Come on, Star. It's just one day with a bunch of sweet old folks. What's the worst that could happen?" She sighed, resting her forehead against the glass. If only they knew. The retirement home loomed at the end of the road, a grand but weathered building with ivy creeping up its stone walls. It looked peaceful enough-nurses bustling about, elderly residents chatting on the front porch, the faint scent of flowers drifting in the warm afternoon air. A normal visit. A normal trip. A normal day. That's what it was supposed to be.
