The town of Gallows is infected, with what, the few survivors do not know. The towns people have gone mad. They are acting insane, tearing each other apart, chasing each other down in packs and some even going cannibalistic. Alessa and Riley both woke up thinking it was just another typical day they were going to have to get through, now they are going to have to depend on each other to survive. Riley is pretty sure it has something to do with the water treatment facility. How long can they last when they have little to drink, the town has been quarantined, and infected residents are on the loose.

Still Reminiscent (A Pre-Apocalyptic Survival Story) [Discontinued] by skyfleet12z
38 parts Complete Mature
In the year 2022 a mysterious virus erupts in the city of New Yoke Town. What begins as an isolated outbreak rapidly spirals into a full-blown pre-apocalypse - buildings burn, panic spreads, and humanity is forced to reckon with a world where the living and the dead blur. The story follows multiple survivors - ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances, each trying to stay alive in a world going to hell. We meet a hardened "shotgun fellow" whose past haunts him, a crewman uneasy in this new reality, and numerous others trying to adapt to chaos. As society crumbles, the infected - referred to as "turned" - become relentless predators, and survival becomes a matter of constant flight, distrust, and brutal choices. The narrative explores not just the threat of the virus, but the human cost: betrayal, the breakdown of community, and how people react when the rules no longer apply. Eventually, a powerful corporation called the Revert Corporation takes the blame for the outbreak. A "cure" emerges, but only after waves of death and suffering. Some survivors who receive the cure undergo a strange transformation - gaining new powers, or becoming something beyond mere human. The tone is dark, raw and urgent. There's no fantasy system, no supernatural magic setup - just the nightmare of infection, collapse, and the fight to keep one's humanity. The author notes upfront: graphic violence, profanity, sad endings, survival horror. ------------------ORIGINAL STORY-------------------- All Rights Reserved.
