I never would've thought something like this would happen. I always believed these kind of things only existed in movies and fictional stories.
If someone would've asked me how I'd want the world to end, I would've laughed and said a zombie apocalypse. We all think it would be so cool to kill some zombies, smash their brains, and use creative ways to dispose of them. We'd even joke about becoming one of them and eating our friends. 
A pharmaceutical company claimed to have found the cure for Alzheimer's disease. They tested it on various geriatricians who, at first, seemed to respond well to the cure until they started convulsing one by one. Their heart rates started increasing, their blood pressure started rising. Until suddenly, they just... stopped. They laid immobile for a moment or so until their pulses started to beat again. It shocked everyone when the patients ripped off their restraints and attacked the scientists. Little by little, the madness started spreading until the entire world was infected. Only a few survivors remained. 
How do I know?

The Hound

65 parts Complete

Antique store owner Liz brings home a Victorian taxidermy hound from auction, unwittingly unleashing dark forces on her wife and son. ***** Nat Loman has finally married the love of her life, Liz, and is getting used to her role as stepmother to Liz's 5-year-old son, Liam. The Loman family runs a bustling antique business so they attend a sale where a striking, black taxidermied hound is up for auction. Liz picks it up for the business, but it ends up being stored in their home, where Nat notices strange things occurring. She quickly discovers the past residents had died violently. Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside. Soon, people around the Lomans are dying, and Liz is changing, darkening. It's up to Nat to save the woman she loves from the darkness closing in, and to save Liam from danger no matter what she has to sacrifice.
