In November 2018 a case was reported in Sussex of a mutated flu virus. The flu quickly spread quickly and violently ,within a month over 4 million people had contracted some form of the virus. Hospitals round the country could not cope with the sudden increase in patients and there was no cure they could find. When the victims of the disease began to die, the English Government called for a national emergency.
By then, strands of the disease had travelled across the globe and there were cases being reported in France, Italy, Germany and certain states in the USA. The disease travelled quickly and quarantine was in most cases useless, it was most contagious before the victim began to even show the symptoms.
The symptoms were obvious, coughing up blood, vomiting, diarrhoea, headaches, dizziness, loss of sight and eventually the inability to stand and the victim fell into a coma, followed by death.
Doctors around the world were completely baffled and things began to very quickly deteriorate.

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.
