Ethan Macknamara is a bug.
In most terms, this is true. All he's ever been his whole life is squashed, stepped on, and criticized by everyone around him. From his father, his sister, his teacher, and even his girlfriend, all of them knew he was doomed to have a poor, sad life after he graduated high school.
But that didn't happen, because The Upgrade interfered.
He was at a camp-out on June 30, 2014, with his close friend, Trevor Tiorano, and Trevor's stupid girlfriend, Madeline Ervin, when everything changed forever. Just one mistake left Ethan unconscious, and disconnected from human life completely.
Now, he's waking up to a new world, a hundred years in the future. And in this world, someone he knew doesn't recognize him. He's greeted by new enemies and strangers rather than old friends and family, and none of them are sure how he got there and why he's here.
How does nobody recognize him? Why did he oversleep for a hundred years? And can someone please explain this whole strings on hands part?
But if the Earth turned off the oxygen, how is Ethan still alive?
He's a bug in more ways than just one.

Season 4 of The Virus Within
Trinity is familiar with zombies, being one herself, but when strange zombies start appearing, she realizes that the world she knew might be changing yet again.
When a dangerous set of scientific notes are discovered, Trinity and her friends don't realize anything is wrong until a frantic radio call comes in. Unaware of the notes, they race to the south and struggle to determine where the strange zombies came from. The zombies are unlike any ranks previously seen, and they aren't as predictable. Some have new tricks hidden up sleeves, forcing any Stronghold they encounter to quickly adapt to the new challenge or risk being overrun. Secrets never remain hidden, and zombie apocalypses never make life easy.
