He dreamed of the end of the world. With a date.
On May 15, 2019, an ordinary office manager - a husband and father of two little girls - wakes up from a nightmare: a virus brought back from the ISS by a cosmonaut turns people, within a month, into things that can no longer be called human. He could have written the dream off - if his five-year-old daughter hadn't retold it to him that same night, word for word.
The catastrophe is exactly one year away. No one will believe him - not the government, not the press, not his colleagues. That leaves only one option: prepare in silence. Buy the apartment next door. Put bars on the windows. Get a gun. Turn his home into a fortress and wait for the day the creatures that were his neighbors yesterday start climbing the walls of the high-rises.
He thought the hardest part would be surviving until day X.
He was wrong.
He had a year's head start. It wasn't enough.

Stay Alive!
The world had never seen such chaos. It started subtly, whispers of a new virus spreading in distant corners of the globe. At first, it seemed like just another outbreak, contained by the swift response of medical teams and governments. But then, it mutated. What began as a simple infection quickly spiraled into an unstoppable pandemic, turning friends, family, and neighbors into mindless, ravenous creatures. As cities fell into darkness and society crumbled, the survivors were left to navigate a world teetering on the brink of extinction. Among them, a disparate group of individuals emerged, each with their own story of loss, survival, and hope. Little did they know that their paths would converge in the fight for humanity's future, as they faced not only the undead hordes but also the darkest aspects of human nature. In the midst of despair, a glimmer of resilience flickered-a determination to defy the odds and reclaim what was lost. But as the sun set on civilization, casting long shadows over a world forever changed, the question remained: would they emerge victorious, or would they become just another footnote in the annals of history?

Into The Unknown
After a catastrophic war and a deadly virus that plagued the world, humanity is left divided, hunting each other down and murdering for vengeance... Or purely for fun. With humanity on the brink of extinction, and another war on the rise, a survivor is revived, given a chance to maybe, just maybe, save the world. ...And all she can remember is her name. ______________________________________ There is a name for those who mutated to survive the virus. I'm not talking about the immune, who can flush the disease straight from their system. I'm talking about The Freaks. If you listen to the rumours, after the Deathwave they started appearing from the wastes, people with no soul or conscience, although once human they now could be described as monsters. You'd think I'd agree, seeing as I ran away from them. But from where I stand, it's Humans who are the monsters.Complete
