The End Is Nigh (ONC 2022)

The end of the apocalypse. Who would've thought that such a thing would be a reality? It has been two and a half decades since the parasite was first discovered in humans - it turned those infected into mindless monsters who acted only on instinct. These creatures were called many names: Zombies, Sub-Humans, Murmurs, Groaners, Mutants, the list goes on. But the most common names were Zombies or Murmurs.

After countless experiments, a cure has finally been developed. However, it only worked on a select few individuals - those where the infection has progressed no further than Stage 2. Past that, there was no hope in saving them, as the disease would have degraded their brain beyond repair once they entered Stage 3.

This story follows a female zombie on the path to recovery after being deemed fit to receive the cure and a group of friends looking to stop the remaining creatures from being hunted like animals. Their reason? They were born and raised in a closed-off community, safe from the hoards of Murmurs that roam free.
