Set in the aftermath of the global spread of ebola, the news that the disease had been wiped out in the U.S.A should have been a day to celebrate. Instead it was the day that those who had had the disease were taken away. In the months that followed, they were sent to the East Coast, a no-go zone because of the risk of infection. There, the army tries to wipe out the hundreds of thousands who had been infected.
This short story is set in the aftermath of these events. Adam can trust no-one, the Army who tried to murder him or the other survivors, who will do anything to stay alive.

That's all that ever came back. There were four walls surrounding me with only one exit. I wanted to go through, so I did, in hopes of finding my way out. What I found lurking on the other side was not an exit but something much worse. I found my way back, and I spent the next month fending for myself. Food, water, a temporary shelter. After a month, someone else arrived, and this person arrived with supplies. Every month a new person was sent up. Every arrival was the same as mine. They couldn't remember anything. I was the first one here, and that means that I call the shots, I make the rules, and I run the place.Complete
