The start of the apocalypse in a human's perspective is daunting. They run, they get chased, they protect, they kill, they sacrifice--all because they need to survive.
But what about in the opposite perspective? Zombies do run, chase, and kill--but do they do that to survive?
What does the start of an apocalypse is like in the perspective of a human turned zombie?

Startled, Han took out her phone, recording the scene from a distance. "What's going on?" she wondered. Planning to at least send the video to the police. "I shouldn't get involved in a street fight when I just landed here, right? ..." "Ugh ... I don't Know ..." She stepped closer, but what she saw next made her freeze in fear. The group wasn't just attacking the man. They were biting him, tearing at his flesh, their movements jerky and unnatural. Her stomach churned as her mind screamed the truth: "they weren't people. They were something far worse." . . "How did I end up here?" she wondered. "This feels like something straight out of a drama..." . .

But here I am, struggling to even think straight." . . . She have to survive this with... ..Training.. ..Finding other survivors.. ..Finding a Safe Place.. ..or.. .. ..Finding Love..?Complete
