In the early 21st century, after millennia of humankind being the primary predators of the earth, nature seemed to strike back. A sickness spread, infecting the people and killing them. These people would reanimate, as mindless, unthinking carnivores with seemingly one purpose: destroy all forms of life on the planet. The governments and military's of the world ignored this new threat until it was out of hand, and smashing down their front doors.
Six months later, in one of the worst outbreaks in a city in England, survivors struggle on, fighting the infected hordes. But everyday, their numbers dwindle, they fail to see the solutions of working together but fight among themselves. In this new world, where rubble and ruin lie in the streets, where death and disease stalk every corner, all people must change, they must survive off the ever descending number of resources available in the forest of glass. They must fight, and hope to see the end of the next day. These are the tales if the fight back against the horde, how people fought. And people died.
Because war. War never changes.
That is the intro. Like the Fallout reference?
Jacob Stokes.
Jacob looked out from his nest. The house he had taken residence in had been shelled long ago, in one of the army's last ditch attempts to clear the streets. He looked up and down the avenue. On one end of the road, the gargantuan glass skyscrapers loomed. On the other, a rusting tank, some sandbags and some rusty barbed wire. He sighed. He was sick of this, sick if the walkers, sick of measuring life in a matter of days, sick of having to restrict the food he had to eat to ensure he would have something to eat. He missed life, his phone, his computer, hell, even running water. He looked at his watch, 7:30 PM. It was getting dark. Soon the Walkers would roam the streets. Moaning in a never ending symphony until morning. In which he would get up and scavenge. It began to drizzle as the last rays of sunlight left the besieged street. He climbed out of the attic and back into his cellar. With its strsngely reinforced door.
