In a world overrun by the undead, a group of seemingly random teenagers find themselves trapped together in the midst of a brutal zombie apocalypse. Each comes from a different background, with unique personal struggles and complex emotional scars. Despite their differences, they must learn to live, fight, and-most of all-survive together. As they navigate the horrors outside, the battles within their own minds prove just as intense, with mental and physical challenges testing their will to endure.
Trigger Warning:
This story delves into sensitive topics, including various mental health issues such as anorexia, trauma/ptsd, depression, bipolar disorder, anger disorders, and anxiety. It also touches on physical illnesses and includes graphic depictions of abuse and self-harm. I have put significant effort into researching these conditions to portray them as realistically as possible. However, I acknowledge that I may not capture every detail perfectly, and no disrespect is intended. Please remember that this is a work of fiction, and its primary aim is to explore the resilience of the human spirit in the face of extreme adversity.

What happens when humanity's hope rests on the shoulder of a teenager?
Caleb didn't come out of the zombie uprising unscathed. He's been scarred-both mentally and physically. The rest of humanity is trying to rebuild, to make the world normal again. Caleb is trying to return to a normal life also, but after all he's seen, after the loss of his family and friends, the transition is difficult.
The darkness that led him down a path of self-doubt and self-harm has never left his mind. Things only become worse when he discovers he's immune to whatever makes a zombie a zombie. Fighting zombies was predictable. He knew what to expect. Fighting humans is volatile. They are malicious and treacherous. They won't stop to get what they want, and Caleb has to figure out exactly what that is.
