June.
The month the scientists failed.
24th.
The day millions of people died.
The day millions were consumed by the virus.
2025.
The year the world ended.


The CC1 virus isn't what everyone believed.
It isn’t the seasonal flu.
The CC1 virus - The Cerebrum Corpus Virus - the virus that stumped every doctor, researcher, and scientist.

And today is August 24th, 2025. 

It has been two months since the virus broke out of it’s shell, infecting millions.

My name is Maybelle Anderson. 

I was a normal 19-year-old girl, who was attending college when the virus broke out. 

I didn’t know anything about surviving in the woods, or old warehouses, or just simply surviving while helping six others survive. I was used to writing essays about complex guns, using them and creating ‘justice’ in the criminal world. Not fighting off the damn dead. 

But, now I know more about fighting the dead then I do about 'Koch MP-5's.

And I am not alone.
There are 7 of us.
We are the last ones.

They said that "Changing is part of LIFE.", at least that's what the CSD (Change and Save Department) used to say. They thought they created a "cure". A cure to save many people's lives from sickness, cancer, and all. Unfortunately... They were wrong. It was fine at first... However, their first test subject? It was for no good. Instead of a cure, they made a "virus". The virus is incurable for now. Many people protested against the CSD and the government. It changed.. but it was never saved... They said that once they bit you, in an hour the virus will spread throughout your body and kill you, then you'll be alive but not like you used to be. There are many survivors, but there are also many who have been turned into monsters. They call these monsters, "zombies". The CSD promised that they'll find a cure, but much-lost hope, lost hope for being alive, lost hope for survival. A 17 yrs. the old girl was in between that. Everything might sound and look horrible but she never lost hope for survival. "I'm running out of food.." she kept on talking to herself since there was no one but her. She saw a grocery store nearby so she checked it out if there were food, and fortunately, there was. She stuffed the food in her bag until she heard something. "Is someone there?" She asked, she hoped it wasn't what she thought about but there it was. The zombie's legs were twisted so it will have a hard time catching her. However, she never encountered that close. She stuffed the last food in her bag and ran. She ran to the girl's restroom. When she opened the door there were zombies! It almost caught her but fortunately, nothing happened to her. She ran back but there were more! "Please don't say this is how I'm going to die!" She said to herself. Is she going to die? Who will she meet? Will they survive this cruel world??
