Mystery
20 years into the future, a deadly virus has caused half of the world to fall into oblivion. It is called the Yellow Mud virus. Johnathon and Micheal - who don't even know that each other exist - are two people who join together in the inevitable doom that awaits. When Johnathon's mother falls ill with the virus and Micheal witnesses a gory attack while roaming the grey streets of Culpeper, they realize that the world is coming to an end. Infected people aren't clearly noticeable except for the yellow, muddy substance they cough up. The infected still show up to work, at school, and in public to then commit horrifying feats of cold-blooded murder. Will Johnathon and Micheal tell the difference between the infected and their family, or will they perish with the rest of humanity?

[Book 1] Crawlers: once normal people like you or me. They had hobbies, families, friends, interests, but now they are feral monsters. The infection spread, wiping out almost half the human race, and leaving the rest as either Crawlers or Survivors. The infected's eyes will black out, before giant, black, bug-like legs will rip out of their back, giving them a newfound speed and agility, as well as an insatiable bloodlust. Body fluids entering any open wound, including the eyes, mouth, and nose, will seal the person's fate; they are now infected. It won't be long before they start screeching at the moon in a mock howl. The problem is, I am infected. I turned but retained most of my humanity. With my new lifestyle in a new world, I can't expect anything or anyone to act as I predict. My biggest question is, can I save my humanity? Or will I simply become part of the mindless feral swarm?
