(WARNING: ACTS OF VIOLENCE AND MENTION OF TORTURE)

My name is Lilith I am 26, the year is 2025 all of this started back in January of 2020 the world had gone haywire and society had finally collapsed.

After the pandemic had basically wiped out 4.55 million people just after 2 years it had started and continued to rise with that the government gave up on trying to help us since nobody listened to their constant warnings.

When the government couldn't control the riots people started to bomb buildings and random shootings would break out in the middle of the streets, and people started raid police stations as well as torture the policeman they would leave them in nothing but their underwear, with their hands tied by their back gagged, and throw them out into the street.

After they abandoned their duty and left us to defend ourselves people grew tired of sitting back and waiting in there homes only growing more terrified and some angrier.

Things got worse after there wasn't much left to raid and eventually they started to create their own mini groups and continued to take over streets.

Lucky for me and my family we lived out on a ranch out in the middle of nowhere that was surrounded by trees and had our own fields as well as our own animals there was no need to leave but we would for toiletries, though no one knew we were out here which was for the better and the only neighbors we had were miles away, and we stayed out each other's way as long as we protected each other's land in return we gave them meat and they supplied us with weapons, which we sanitize, and we never had a problem.

When people did follow us they would usually ask for directions or supplies and we would gladly help them but would wait an hour after they left in order to not be followed and when they did we had no choice but to kill them because they would tell their groups about us. People basically became "bandits" or "raiders" as one would call them and they scavenged everyone they set their eyes on and anything they could break into that wasn't easily protected.

Though we did the same we didn't search people instead stayed out of sight and anyone we would accidentally find though we tried not to kill because as dangerous as the world had become there was already less people around and we didn't want to lose our humanity just to keep safe from a couple of people.

Oh and on the most exciting part is we have zombies though you'd think people would have been more prepared with what to do since these past generations grew up on watching many zombie movies and playing all those videogames.

Nope.

Shit hit the fan and we panicked, people broke and stole shit like every other movie.

Now don't get me wrong some people did survive but they weren't nice ones, although it's survival of the fittest right? Wrong...well yes, but also no only the strong, strong minded, strong willed, and psycho an the well prepared ones survived.

Now about the zombie part we still aren't exactly sure how that started, but some have their theories saying that it was the shots that were giving us to fight covid and some are also saying that they mutated our cells and that's why when the ones that received the shots died or if they died from covid, those cells would grow in the body if they didn't burn them then they would turn.

At least that's what I had read up from a friend's article and we were going to confirm it, but shortly after the raids started the power went out and we couldn't contact anyone. Story of my life... literally. ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ

(Sorry it's so short it's just a bit of info to start the story off with and sorry if it's a bit exaggerated on some info. I will most likely try and make each chapter 1000-1200 words long or more and I'd also like to add that the first couple of chapters are trash but they tend to get a bit better)

(Also follow or add the book to your library so you get notified when I upload a new chapter (^._.^)ﾉ. This is my first story ever so I appreciate any criticism, but just remember I'm human and I make constant mistake)

(Characters will be introduced next chapter!!☝️👀)

(If you are someone I know I'd prefer you not to use my real name and kindly ask you to refer to me as galaxy or sad taco as I would like to keep my identity on here a secret, thank you❤️)
