The world did not end with a bang, or a whisper. But rather one scream at a time. The group of young adults that lived in the small secure house at the end of an abandoned dirt road knew this all too well. For they had heard many of their friends screams and been able to do nothing but show mercy by killing them before they turned. Turned into what you might ask? Well, there are many names for the brain eating undead that terrorize this world. Abominations, cannibal corpses, creepy crawlies, dead heads, ghouls, meat bags, roamers, demons, walkers, but most commonly known as zombies. Rory, Ezra, Dax, Kyle, and Jude have known nothing but pain and survival since the world ended six years ago. When it seems like they’ve gotten to their wits end, like nothing else could possibly go wrong, a glimmer of hope reveals itself. Or maybe that’s just what the world wants them to think before the rug is, once again, ripped from underneath them.
