Symptoms may include: stuffy nose, naeusa, fatigue, increase in appetite, and zombification. Please do not consult your doctor if any of these symptoms occur. Do not get the vaccine if you like being sane and do not wish your family any harm.
15 year old Synthia Conhan has witnessed, firsthand, what the virus can do to you. But what the vaccine does is worse. Not being eligible for the vaccine seemed like a pain at the time, but now, it seems more like a blessing. With her all of her family lifeless, soulless zombies and her only chance of survival being the rooms in her 10 story apartment building, she doesn't think she'll survive. Our dearest protagonist falls into a depression when she realizes that she's all alone. But maybe something cliché will happen. Maybe Synthia will realize she can still survive somehow for some other purpose. Or maybe she'll turn into a zombie because I'm a jerk. Who know's?

*THE UNEDITED VERSION* Beware of typos, errors, and general mistakes. This is a very, very rough draft. "I live in a place called Compound 4. We are one of ten different compounds placed at strategic locations around the US. It's been thirteen years since the virus overtook humanity, turning about ninety percent of us into zombies. I'm not sure how it started exactly; that's classified information. I do know that in order to save what was left of the human race, the president at the time took a bunch of really smart people and kids and relocated them into new 'protected' cities. My father was one of those really smart people. I was only five at the time, but I knew what was happening." Within the walls of the compound, Jay makes stupid mistakes, mistakes even she doesn't understand, putting everyone inside at risk. All because she can't shoot someone. All because she misses the wind in her hair, the flowers on the hillsides, the sound of crickets at night. All because she's different, the only person untouchable by the Virus. When the mistakes begin to duplicate, and a girl shows up who knows her name, everything begins to change in Compound 4. Highest rank in Science Fiction: #9Complete

The Final Epizon : A Beginning
'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]Complete

Night Disease
REVISED EDITION COMING OUT MONTHLY/COMPLETED In a world overrun by zombies, A single bite heralds doom - except for Kaindra, who defies death itself, being undead already. ******** As humanity struggles to adapt to the new reality of zombies-infested streets and lurking supernatural creatures from ancient myths and legends, survival becomes an ever-evolving challenge. Survival is a constant battle not only against the undead but also against supernatural creatures and their zealous followers. The relentless onslaught of zombies and the mysterious reemergence of mythical beings push society to its limits. Civilization's last bastions fall one by one, teetering on the brink of collapse. As these ancient myths awaken, they reveal intentions that are far from clear- some may hold the key to salvation, while others could herald further doom. The question remains: Can humanity unravel the mysteries of these legendary beings in time to save themselves, or will they fall prey to the very legends they once dismissed? ___ Excerpt: Taking a deep breath, I lean closer to the mirror, my skin prickling. I thought it was a trick of the light, but as I stare at my reflection, my fragile lies crumble away. The reflection staring back at me feels unrecognizable. My once deep, dark brown eyes now glimmer with an otherworldly light, like twin moons suspended in a sea of silver. The faint glow within them swirls softly, catching the dim flicker of flame I summoned, like ripples across a moonlit lake. Their alien intensity sends a chill down my spine. The orbs seemed to hold a universe within, depths of endless mysteries and ancient wisdom beyond my grasp. ___ Warning: Mentions of suicide and self-harm Beautiful cover made by @scmimi.
