On June 21st, 1899, a mysterious virus swept across the United States - a strange mutation of influenza that soon became something far darker. The infection began with a fever, but it quickly twisted its victims into violent, mindless beings consumed by rage. The people called it the Zombie Plague. Weeks later, on July 5th, hope flickered when officials announced that Mexican scientists had discovered a cure. Survivors were urged to make the perilous journey south to the capital - but the journey was treacherous. The tracks leading there were haunted by the infected and monster. worse, many who set out were never seen again. In one of the last fortified towns, a young survivor named Crimson is chosen to join a small band of strong, desperate souls to make the dangerous trip to Mexico. But as the group faces horrors both human and inhuman along the way, secrets begin to surface - and Crimson's own hidden truth could mean salvation... or doom. Will they survive the journey down the deadly tracks? Will they find allies - or enemies - in the ruins of a fallen nation? And can Crimson keep his secret long enough to reach Mexico?

The dead have never been so alive. After a deadly contagion reduced the world's population into mindless, undead monsters, the ruins of America still teem with activity, as some of the dead have regained their intelligence and created their own society; one free from the living's touch. Now, more than a decade later, survivalist extraordinaire Liam Fenix undertakes a harrowing escape from the uninhabited island that has been his prison since before the outbreak began, only to discover that he is the sole survivor of the civilization he left behind. He is not alone, however, as reincarnated bounty hunter Leah believes that Liam holds the key to reversing the pandemic that created her race. Armed with their survivalist expertise and following traces of the past, the two must traverse the wastelands together and bring back life to an otherwise dead world, even as they are pursued by a tyrant who does not want this plague to end. ------- Top tags to date: #1 in Gritty 12/21/2022 - 1/11/2023 ------- New chapters will be posted on Mondays, 4:00-6:00PM EST.
