"Man's hour on this earth is coming to an end, the sand in the hourglass is running much faster now" -Melisandre
This is a quote from a character from a book called Game Of Thrones. Rowen thinks of it every time he wakes up in the morning. Man's hour is really coming to an end. The Black Plague has come again. After it went though, a horrible thing sprung up, people who the Black Plague touched, are now coming back as a type of zombie. worse enough, These zombies are able to raise the past dead who have not been touched. This has caused the surviving humans to band together or go it alone while the remaining scientists attempt to at least weaken the zombies so they can't raise the other dead so humanity can kill them all. This is when Rowen, who has been living alone ever since his father died, finds her. Kayla, he found, has a bite on her shoulder that had to have come from one of the creatures, but she hasn't turned. This means that she is immune. Rowen then prepares to take her to the scientist's labs to help be apart in saving humanity.
