The Cold War culminated into the unleashing of the weaponized Red Mist virus. After a disaster at a Soviet missile silo caused the virus to spread in the Motherland, Soviet leaders launched the virus all over the planet, leading to the fall of mankind. Kimber Balas is a surviver. She has only known the world after the Red Mist virus turned people into infected maniacs. She has lived nearly twenty years without any run-ins with the infected, but all that's about to change.  Her temporary safe-haven is an old 1800s Army post called the Fortress, but it's just that: temporary. Her desire is to find continued safety for her family; something they have never fully known. Can she keep them safe from the infected? From the elements? From each other? Picture art is accredited to @-stellar https://www.wattpad.com/user/-stellar She does amazing work!!! #Wattys2018

In February of 2009, a man went to the hospital to be treated for a brain tumor. Upon further examination, another unknown virus in this man's brain and blood was discovered. On scanners, it looked like a black blob of darkness, sparking slightly in the stems of his brain. This was completely new to the doctors. Proper tumor removal was never performed, in fear that this strange, eerie darkness was dangerous. They didn't even have time before the patient's brain shut down. But they continued their research, finding that the brain started up again. Now, the virus spread to the patient's entire brain. It created a spark in his system that caused him to reanimate. While that may seem joyous, it took a violent turn for the worst. They thought the patient would remember his past life, and went to perform several tests on him. The patient attacked the doctors and nurses and tore them limb from limb. Blood sprayed everywhere as the once kind person was devouring their insides. They tried detaining him but bullets had no avail on him- Until stricken directly in the head. The infection spread throughout the hospital, until people out on the streets were biting and eating each other left and right. Some people were terrified of all of this. Others were amazed. Further research continued on this unknown virus that wiped out mankind. How far will man go to save themselves or others? How far has humanity fallen down the drain? Can people change for the better, even the worst people? Or is all hope truly lost forever? Is everyone doomed? Shall we resort to our primitive ways? !! WARNING: SOME OF THESE CHAPTERS INCLUDE DISTURBING AND TRIGGERING TOPICS. SEVERAL SCENES OF GORE, DRUG USE, MENTIONS OF SELF HARM, AND DEATH !!
