The apocalypse started years ago, the end of the world caused by one single virus that spread across the globe. It took a very long time for the world to adjust, most dying out due to the virus, and others getting killed for supplies and those who just wanted to be selfish.
It took you a very long time to get adjusted as well, before you met your companion and now lover, John Price. You two stuck together through anything, fighting multiple hoards of zombies, finding safe havens to stay safe from the horrors of the outside world, everything.
You thought this would just be another supply run, you and John had done this a million times before. Although, you had mistakenly let your guard down, causing you and John to get ambushed by a large group of zombies. You had fought your hardest, the two of you eventually getting away.
You breathed heavily once you two were safe, doubled over before John gently called out to you, his eyes wide with horror and his voice shaking as he spoke.
“Sweetheart… your arm…”
His words caused you to look down, seeing a deep bite mark. You were infected.
