In 2017, a 17 year old teen named Camilla wakes up in quarantine to find herself lying next to her dog and a pistol. In the year prior, she was in the midst of a viral infection that turns people into zombies. Only some people survived the infection by not becoming infected due to an immunity in pets, children, teens, and young adults. Camilla's father placed her in quarantine as the virus had started to spread to other people. He escaped the town, while Camilla is in her quarantined room with rations, water, and the pistol. Now, she's met Zhane, a 16 year old whose parents were infected and Phoenix, a 19 year old who had returned from active duty just as the military quarantine had ended; and the three of them are on their way to find a way to escape the place they once called home, and find other survivors of this un-deadly infection. This is their story...

...Zhane has been away from Emporium for the entirety of the lockdown. He has met Camilla and Phoenix, hopes to find more survivors, and lead the way to a new life in the safe zone. And now, chapter two...

I’m just an average teenager living in a town after a lockdown ended because a virus wreaked havoc. The virus turns people into mindless, brain-eating things called zombies. I have met with 2 other survivors already. They are extremely nice, and none of us have tried killing each other as sacrifices to the zombies. We are not giving up until the day in which all of the zombies are killed and we can leave town. I’m a 16 year old named Zhane, and this is my part of the story from where Camilla left off when we met Phoenix. Camilla has just woken up. My parents both had been infected, but they both immediately died in my arms due to the brain aneurysm that happens in some infected adults. I've been on my own for an entire year trying to find my way back to Emporium after leaving town because of the military's quarantine. I woke up earlier and killed a few zombies outside our “home” if you would call it that. Camilla just met a new survivor. Her name is Phoenix, and she is a 19 year old member of the military. Phoenix had told us on our way back to our shelter that she had just returned from active duty now that the quarantine has been lifted. We just finished eating and now we’re going to kill some of the fucking nubs called zombies. I just counted up all of the zombies we’ve killed so far. 96 yesterday, 104 today; which means we’ve killed 200 exactly. I’m brought a radio with me so we can hear about what’s happening in the outside world. Newscaster on Radio: Breaking News - The viral outbreak in Emporium did not impact any wildlife, meaning chickens, and vegetables weren’t affected. Yesterday, we heard that chickens and veggies weren’t affected. But, I’m trying to get some more ramen noodles, some eggs, and a cooktop. None of us were safe from turning, but surprisingly; we survived this outbreak. But why? We are now up to 277 zombies killed between all 3 of us. Phoenix cooked us some eggs, and some ramen noodles with shredded carrots on top. We’ve been on top of our game so far and it looks like I’m getting sick with something; but definitely not this virus. The flu, to be exact; So, it looks like the virus only affected things that were adults apparently. I’m trying to find out where my parents are. The way that we've been figuring out how to get out of town, although the number of zombies hasn't dropped dramatically. As we've been sitting here in Camilla's quarantined safe-room, we've been talking about how we've been affected by the outbreak. Phoenix just told us that before she went to active duty that her parents had turned in front of her eyes and that they had tried to eat her, and that she had to kill them to prevent the virus from spreading to herself. It's been overwhelming for all of us being in this situation. I hope we can find more survivors, and leave town before we're all infected. Well, Phoenix has just brought back her girlfriend Noel who is 29. Noel is a very good photographer, and she has taken photos of the outbreak since it started; obviously staying by Phoenix's side to stay safe. Over the past few days; Noel has been sick as well as much as I have been, but let's hope that she doesn't become infected. It's been a pretty tiring day as we've been killing zombies and eating ramen. I’m going to bed now, so… Phoenix will keep you all updated with her side of the story.
