WORLD OVERVIEW:

Time: Modern times, late 2000s. After the fall of humanity.

The world has been infected by a strange virus and parasites. No country is free. It started from the melting ice of Antarctica before spreading world wide because of the first few sick and infected people deciding to spend their last few moments in planes and traveling.

The virus is spread by a bite or saliva being mixed with blood. It can also happen if someone is unknowingly taking blood from an infected.

The symptoms: Dry coughing, being sick for more than a week without the fever decreasing. Seeing strange marks all over the body. Foul smell coming from the mouth. Skin may also slowly begin to peel off in some places. It sometimes takes a week or two for an infected to loose their sense. By then it's too late to say goodbye.

INFECTED:

There are two types of the infected.

• [TYPE 1] THE ECHOS: The half conscious ones. they didn't lose their full senses. They can't control their body but they can control their vocal cords. They are less aggressive than the ones fully gone. Though they are still dangerous to humanity. Nobody knows why they are still here if not barely.

•[TYPE 2] THE HOLLOWS: the fully infected ones. They have no senses left. They are the most aggressive ones. They eat, bite and tear everything in sight. They don't kill they just start eating and never let go.

After becoming an infected a person slowly lose their senses. The smell changes. They can't pick up the calming scent of the food or the rain. But they can smell the meat from other living beings. They zone out and start losing their focus. they grow black nails that are too large and sharp for a human. They slur when they talk before finally the virus claims them.

An older Infected might start to decompose but still move. Humans can smell them before hearing their growls.

In here a human's life is not measured by their looks but by how useful they can be. A weaker person can be stronger than a boxer. Beauty no longer gives any advantages..

HUMANS:

•Scavengers: the new term of grave thieves. They still from abandoned houses and places humanity rots. Sometimes even stealing from a dying or dead human. Their survival is more important than their dignity.

•Travelers/Adventures: People like Zinnia who travel around to seek other humans or a to find a place to live. They hunt for food in abandoned shops and sells them for a living.

•Sheriffs/Savours: The ones who took the law in their hands. They are the only ones the other can bring themselves to trust.

•Hunters: The troublemakers. They kill everything. They live off of fear. The only currency they can find joy in.

A world destroyed by a virus. The timeline is late 2000s and the genre is a typical story of a Zombie apocalypse. A place where beauty holds no advantage and money is considered green paper. What use of money if there is nothing to be bought? The story consists of a Woman named Zinnia who simply wishes to find another human to regroup with and find her family once more.

Without hesitation she pulls out her gun.
