    Surviving is worse than death...

    As the first days of the end of humanity tumble across the city of Las Vegas in the form of an overwhelming viral infection, turning almost everyone into vampire-like creatures, April Tate will find out what it really means to survive. What does it take to make it out alive in a place where everything is but a withered echo of its former self, and death does not come willingly?

      About the Author

      Prologue:

      Weeks after initial viral outbreak

      I want to smash every single window.

      Why the hell am I even here?

      I close my eyes. I can still see everything I want to forget stamped behind my lids, but it sticks to my brain like forgotten lollipops embedded into the couch. I can’t wipe it off or make it go away, and that pisses me off to no end.

      I flick my eyes open and continue to pass them over every nook and cranny, every brick and niche of my old house. How can one place cause me so much anger… pain? Well, maybe it’s not so much the place itself, but what happened outside these walls while I hid inside that will forever scar my precious soul. How I haven’t lost my mind by now, I’ll never know.

      The sun burns into my back, and a thin film of sweat forms on my neck, reminding me that summer is ending but still holding on with tooth and nail. I’m standing in the middle of the road of a perfectly normal neighborhood. It could be a quiet midday siesta time, or everyone could still be at work based on the serenity surrounding me in maddening stillness.

      Yet it’s not. It’s deader than a cemetery after midnight. No one will come out to greet anyone. No one will run out and ask me if I’m suicidal for standing in the middle of the road where someone could come careening around the curb in their family SUV and slam into me. Not a soul is alive to do so.

      You see, I’m alone. Alone here in the remains of my city, Las Vegas. It’s abandoned…neglected…nothing but a memory swimming in my head now. Everyone is dead. All the people I knew are either gone or sleeping in the deepest darkness they can find in this ever-bright desert town. Not a soul roams the street during the daylight but me and what’s left of my tiny family.

      "April, what’s gotten into you?"

      My mother’s
