About the author:

My name is Deanna Hall but I go Under the pen name Midnight Rose now for future Publishing Reasons. I'm 26 years old and I am a momma of three, I have been happily married six years now. I deal with mental issues on a daily basis and have had them since I was younger I grew up with a very tough childhood but I believe that's whats made me stronger and the person I am today, my childhood wasn't easy and I dealt with a lot of unforgiving things but I try to look at the brighter side of things like if it wasn't for everything I've gone through in my early life then I wouldn't be here or who I am today so I guess in a way I can thank my past for bringing me to the here and now and for being the adult I am today. I have always believed that life has a funny way of showing or doing things that we never really realize until we get older and then we are like ahhh so thats why that had to happen lol. But anyways, I'm an easy going, crazy funny girl who absolutely loves to curl up with a good book or spend time with her family.

It all started with a sneeze, then a cough and then it spread likee wildfire. No one knows what exactly happened or where this virus came from all we know is what the government tell us, which isn't much to begin with but if your smart enough you can put two and two together.

it was the stupid vaccine they all made us get, but there was some unfortunate people like myself who got a different vaccine then the others, it was an experimental drug that was unknowingly being administered to a few unlucky people like myself, the only thing is we don't know or will ever know how many got that shot , the other shot was supposed to cure this virus but nature had other plans, and obviously so did the creators of this vaccine. We all thought it was just like any other virus out there, you sneeze, you cough, you shake to death from being cold, you run a temp, you take your meds like you should or are told to,and you would be better within a few weeks. But not this, this was something no one has ever seen before, it was bringing the dead back to life but not like how you see in movies or even in some books at that though, you can tell when someone's been infected because their eyes change to this purple with a gold ring, no one can explain why this happens they all believe it is some sort of mutation or side effect from the drug, but all we know is thats the distinguished feature of those infected. My name is Isabella García and I am a 18 year old school graduate who thought I had everything figured out until this happened. Follow me on my journey as I try to survive the zombie apocalypse while trying to find other survivors. But here's the catch, I am one of the unlucky ones who has the z virus in me now, and I am going to become one of the few humanized frightening ones as people called them, because unlike the unfortunate souls who couldn't control the urges that come along with having the virus running through their veins, I seem to be one of the luckier ones to have self control but even the most self controlled can lose control at any point. Its a battle of the will and unfortunately this may be the end for me, but I know I have to keep going, I have to find survivors because this isn't how the world will end, it can't be. We all say things happen for a reason, and I believe deep down there was a reason for this to happen, in a sick and twisted way this is how things are supposed to play out, I just hope I can make it to the end to find out what really happens.

I wake up to the sound of maoning, banging and what sounds like screaming in the distance, as I roll over and assess my surroundings I notice I am back in my shabby somewhat run down studio apartment not that I can complain I mean when you work a dead end job you get what you can afford plus since I lost my last job for attacking a customer due to the smell of their blood makes it very difficultin finding a new job.

I don't remember exactly how I got back home, all I remember was saying fck it last night and trying to get wasted but ever since I've gotten the vaccine my tolerance has almost tripled but I was trying to forget everything that's gone wrong this past year between graduating high school and working part time at the crappy motel as a maid and getting sick from that stupid jab the government made us all get to the weird cravings I keep getting ever since, but thats a story for another time, its been a rough year but whats even worse is it seems like everyone's coming down with some sort of something which makes me believe its related to this "virus" thats going around since there's been way to many people suddenly disappearing without a trace. Its been all over the news lately how it all starts with sneezing then you start coughing and then you start getting a fever and then having issues breathing and next thing you know you end up in the hospital which is where you ultimately disappear and suddenly your loved ones are getting a totally different story then what may have really happened,doesn't sound nothing unusual then the flu or any other virus out there right?. Wrong apparently this so called "virus" not only kills you but there's been reports from other country's and even here in my own city that you come back to life but not how you are thinking no this is much much worse then even I could have thought possible but ever since getting "sick" a lot of what I thought impossiblehas become possible. I don't want to believe it personally or I should say that the logical side of my brain tries not to let me believe but strange things have been happening here new york city but no one speaks of it because we are to afraid to speak our thoughts Out loud for fear of being marked as crazy by society but I guess only time can tell but what I can't seem to wrap my mind around is who was sick enough to mess with nature in such a way, I mean the jab that was supposed to suddenly protect us from this has turned us into something you would only see in movies or read about in books. But even i myself have noticed strange things going on within myself but the rational side of me keeps me from going any further with those thoughts be because it just hurts to much to think this early in the morning. I've never been a morning person but ever since that experimental shot I've noticed the change in my sleeping habits and it makes me just that more grumpy being up this early. As I refuse to continue to let my mind wander, I roll out of bed untangling myself from my sheets which have seemed to burrito themselves around me, I place my feet on the cold hardwood floor and make my way past my mirror that hangs up on the door to my tiny little bathroom I stop to check my appearance. My waist length raven black hair is all knotted and almost shoulder length, my purple eyes with a gold ring look rather dull today compared to the brightness they usually have in them but that's probably from not sleeping well and from not feeding like I should be but living in a large city like this it's hard to feed. Now you may wonder why I have eyes like this since as I've stated only the Z's a.k.a the infected have them, well it seems with all the other changes I've noticed my eye color was one of them and it was ever since I got the shot I try to wear contacts when I am outside of my apartment and in the outside world to camouflage my eyes but I've learned that contacts don't work the only thing I can do is dull them. my full lips are pale, even my snow white skin looks paler then usual I can see my veins more then usual and the silverish blood that now courses through it. As I look overmyself I see my black t shirt is all disheveled and torn in some places and my already ripped up black skinny jeans have a huge hole by right my calf. As I take a closer look I start to feel pain from putting pressure on my leg I see blood, I start to hyperventilate knowing I've been bit by one of the infected, now it isn't that big of a deal since I have the Z virus in my veins already but what worries me is that the apocalypse has started a lot sooner then we all thought
