Alice Fischer -
The Fruiting
"A few more days.. Until spring."
World Overview
On February 25th, 2020, the world collapsed after the outbreak of the Entomo Virus, a fungal-based infection originating from Entomophthora, a fungus that normally infects insects. The virus mutated to affect mammals, first spreading through animals like pets and livestock before jumping to humans.
Early symptoms included eye irritation, blurred vision, and a strange sensation beneath the skin. Within days, victims developed hallucinations, muscle spasms, and violent behavior. The infection spread globally, with major outbreaks across humid regions and densely populated countries.
As the disease progressed, it invaded the nervous system, causing complete mental breakdown and extreme aggression. Infected individuals became violent, erratic, and eventually covered in white fungal growths. The infection spread through bites and airborne spores, with near-instant transmission in advanced stages.
By the end of the outbreak’s initial surge, humanity had effectively collapsed.
Infected Types
Sprinters – Newly infected. Fast, erratic, and still partially sighted. Minimal fungal growth.
Dancers – Mid-stage infected. Vision failing, bodies twitching uncontrollably, with visible fungal growth around eyes, mouth, and ears.
Hives – Final standard stage. Fully blind, covered in thick white fungus, moving quickly using sound and vibration.
Mutated Variants
Heavies – Large, heavily infected creatures covered in dense fungal growth. They release spores, are extremely strong, and highly aggressive toward anything nearby.
Spitters – Thin, fragile infected that use fungal growth as a weapon, throwing spore-filled masses that explode on impact and spread infection.
Factions
Calyptra – Brutal cannibalistic raiders who hunt survivors and infected alike.
G.I.C.O. (Global Infection Control Organization) – Remnants of military and scientific forces trying to contain or study the outbreak.
Drifters – Independent survivors with no allegiance, focused purely on survival.
Moths – Small survivor communities living in fortified safe zones, trying to maintain stability and rebuild basic society.
Scenario 1:
Time: March 18th, 2024 — Few days before spring (post-collapse era, ~4 years after the Entomo Virus outbreak
Location: A small abandoned settlement in rural North America (last known signage suggests “Mena, Arkansas” region)
Context: Alice Fischer, a 23-year-old drifter and former microbiology student, is scavenging alone during a harsh, lingering winter. She survives through abandoned settlements, avoiding infected creatures and hostile survivor factions such as Calyptra raiders and remnants of G.I.C.O.
While scavenging for firewood and supplies, she kills a freshly infected Sprinter that ambushes her in the snow and discovers usable s

World: Post apocalypse, 2024, march 18, heavy snowfall, Few days before spring. Genre: Post-apocalyptic, action, Horror.
February 25th, 2020 — the world would change forever. A virus, known only as the Entomo Virus, emerged, turning humans erratic, violent, and unrecognizably insane. Its effects mirrored rabies, but far more relentless. The origins of the virus were traced to Entomophthora, a fungus that normally infects flies and other insects. No one ever imagined it could jump to mammals. The exact region of its emergence is unknown, though some theories suggest it began in Germany.
At first, it only affected animals closely associated with humans: household pets, cattle, pigs. But as people interacted with these infected animals, the virus jumped to humans. The initial symptoms were subtle—mild irritation, blurred vision, watery eyes, the unsettling sensation of something moving beneath the surface of the eye.
By day three to five, the fungus had penetrated the optic nerve, causing vivid visual hallucinations and uncontrollable muscle twitches. It was then that warnings began to circulate. The virus spread rapidly, far beyond a single country. Cases surged worldwide, particularly in India, the Philippines, China, and other humid regions.
The late stages were horrifying. The fungus invaded the central nervous system, triggering extreme behavioral changes, compulsive movements, and rabid aggression. The infected had to be restrained; They attacked each other violently, their bodies gradually becoming covered with a strange white fungus. Bodies gradually becoming covered with a strange white fungus. The smell was disorienting—sweet, almost like freshly cut fruit—while uncontrollable teeth chattering soon followed.
By the fifteenth day, the virus had evolved. Having “learned” the human body, it could now infect anyone instantly: a bite, a spore entering the eyes, nose, or mouth—fifty seconds, and the victim would succumb.
On February 25th, 2020, the virus reached its terrifying apex. Humanity’s world would come to an end.
Sprinters – The recently infected. They sprint erratically, vision blurred but still functional. Fungal growth is minimal, barely visible.
Dancers – As vision begins to fail, the infected stagger with unstoppable jitters. Teeth grind incessantly, and the cracking of bones can be heard with every movement. Spongy white fungi protrude grotesquely from their eyes, gums, and ears, giving them a disturbing, jittering rhythm as they move.
Hives – The final stage of the normal cycle. Thick, white, fruity-smelling fungi cover the eyes, nose, ears, and gums, eventually breaking through the skin. Fully blind, they grind their teeth to echolocate or produce eerie, jittering noises with their bodies. They no longer run but move with unnerving speed.
In rare cases, the virus evolves further, producing mutated forms whose origins remain unknown:
Heavies – Massive, bulbous creatures completely overgrown with fungus that reeks of rotting fruit. They emit infectious spores to anyone who comes too close. Hyper-aggressive, they attack both humans and other infected, driven by a compulsion to feed and maintain the fungal growth. Their immense strength allows them to crush bones, tear heads apart, and overwhelm nearly any target.
Spitters – Gaunt and thin, with dull, milk-colored skin, their mouths are overrun with fungus, preventing echolocation through teeth grinding. What makes them deadly is the fungus itself: it grows rapidly, allowing them to tear it from their bodies or eyes and hurl it like a living bomb. Using their heightened hearing to pinpoint targets, they throw with lethal precision. On impact, the fungal masses explode into clouds of infectious spores, spreading the virus instantly.
Factions: Calyptra(ruthless cannibalistic raiders), Global Infection Control Organization (G.I.C.O.)(whatever military remains), Drifters(unassociated with any factions), Moths(Settlers residing in safe hubs).

Few More Days Before Spring
The winter had overstayed its welcome in a way that felt less like weather and more like punishment. The sky never quite changed anymore; it just hung there, dull and gray, pressing down on everything beneath it. The wind moved through the broken remains of towns and forests with a quiet, hollow sound, as if even it had forgotten what it was supposed to carry.
Alice Fischer had long since stopped expecting silence to mean safety.
She sat inside an abandoned house, bundled in her winter coat, a journal resting against her knee. The fireplace in front of her was nothing but old ash and cold stone, and the room around her carried the lifeless stillness of something that had been left behind years ago and never claimed again. Her pen moved steadily across the page despite the cold numbing her fingers.
“Four months, twenty-three days, twelve hours, and twenty-seven minutes,” she murmured to herself as she wrote, as though saying it aloud made it more real. Her voice was soft but carried a restless edge, the kind that never fully settled.
She paused for a moment, eyes lingering on the words, then let out a small breath through her nose.
“That’s how long it’s been since I’ve seen a normal person,” she added quietly. “Not infected. Not Calyptra scum.”
The faintest laugh slipped out after that, but it didn’t hold. It never really did anymore.
When she finally closed the journal, she slipped it back into her pack. Her movements were routine now, automatic in a way that came from repetition rather than comfort. She pushed herself to her feet, adjusting the straps of her backpack and feeling the familiar weight of the rifle against her shoulder.
“Okay,” she said to herself, a little brighter than her surroundings justified. “Firewood. Real firewood. Not the sad little sticks I’ve been pretending are useful.”
Her voice picked up as she stepped outside, filling the empty space around her as if she was trying to keep it from swallowing her. She talked while she moved, half to herself, half to the world that never answered.
“Few more days until spring,” she said. The cold hit her immediately. It pressed into her lungs with every breath and turned the world sharper at the edges. Snow covered the remains of what might have once been a small settlement, though most of it had collapsed into uneven shapes and broken silhouettes. She moved between them carefully, scanning for anything usable.
A piece of wood caught beneath a fallen fence broke loose when she pulled it free. She inspected it quickly and added it to her bundle before continuing.
That was when she noticed the shift in the air.
It was small at first, almost easy to miss, but it didn’t belong to the wind. Alice slowed, her attention sharpening as her gaze moved across the treeline. Her hand instinctively settled on her rifle without her fully thinking about it, and her breathing quieted as she listened more closely.
Something moved again.
Not the wind this time.
Something alive.
She stopped completely, eyes narrowing as she tried to locate it properly. For a moment, there was only stillness, and then the forest broke open in sudden motion.
An infected figure rushed out from the trees with a broken, erratic speed that didn’t match anything human anymore. Its movements were uneven, desperate, and wrong in a way that made the body feel less like a person and more like something being forced forward against its will.
It hit her before she could fully react, and they went down together into the snow.
The impact knocked the air out of her, and for a brief second everything narrowed into pressure and movement. The infected clawed at her with frantic strength, its teeth snapping dangerously close as it tried to find anything to latch onto. Snow scattered around them as they struggled, the world reduced to weight and instinct.
Alice shoved against it, forcing space between them, her voice breaking through the struggle as she tried to regain control. “Get off me,” she said sharply, her tone strained but focused.
The infected did not respond, only continued its violent, uncontrolled movements.
Her hand found the knife at her side, and in the same motion she drove it upward with practiced certainty. The resistance lasted only a moment before the body above her shuddered and collapsed forward into the snow, finally still.
For a few seconds, she didn’t move. She stayed where she was, breathing heavily as she stared up at the gray sky through the branches above.
Then she exhaled slowly, almost like she was annoyed rather than afraid.
“Seriously,” she muttered, pushing the body off her and sitting up. “Could not have picked a worse moment.”
She wiped snow from her coat and checked herself briefly out of habit before turning her attention to the remains. That was when she noticed the backpack still strapped to the infected’s frame.
Her expression changed immediately.
“Oh, you’ve got to be kidding me,” she said, her voice brightening despite herself.
She knelt down and unhooked it quickly, already opening it before she fully settled. Her hands moved with practiced efficiency as she searched through the contents, her earlier irritation replaced by cautious optimism.
Food. Supplies. Small, scattered things that still meant something in a world like this.
Then she found the can.
She stared at it for a second longer than necessary before letting out a breath that almost turned into a laugh.
“Mushroom soup,” she said, almost disbelieving. “You’re actually joking.”
A smile tugged at her face as she turned it in her hands. “Okay. That’s… that’s actually my favorite. That’s kind of insane.”
For a moment, she just sat there in the snow holding it, as if the world had briefly decided to be kind again.
Then the feeling passed.
The forest around her shifted.
Not loudly. Not obviously. Just enough that it no longer felt empty.
Alice slowly set the can down beside her. The change in her posture was subtle but immediate; her shoulders straightened, and the softness in her expression faded as her attention narrowed toward the treeline.
She reached for her rifle again, this time with no hesitation at all.
Her voice lowered as she spoke, steady and controlled.
“Come out,” she said.
Then, quieter, almost like she was speaking to herself more than anything else, she added, “I know you’re not infected. At least I think you’re not.”
