44-50

The dead walk the earth, but the last slivers of human civilization survive in glorious cities scattered throughout the world. They are safe, secure, luxurious, extravagant, and nearly qualify as perfect. But nothing lasts forever.

Naia and her family had lived in the Wilds, the areas outside the cities where the infection spreads rapidly, for two years with few complications. When Naia's partner and former lover, Ashely, disappears only to be found hours later with bite marks on her arm, Naia easily takes the loss. But, while examining the body, Naia discovers something disturbing: the bites were self-inflicted, and suddenly the entire nature of the zombie virus has been altered in Naia's eyes. She takes on a mission to get to the bottom of this, but little does she know, this disease is not something that can be wiped out with a vaccine; it lives in people's heads, whether they know it or not.
