    The world as we knew it no longer exists. Under the onslaught of a deadly infection, cities collapsed and humanity was decimated. No one knows where this strange kind of fungus came from, but it quickly spread throughout the earth, leaving only the "lucky survivors " able to contend with the chaos and lack of resources, while death awaits them around every corner in the form of literal walking corpses, over which the fungus has taken control. Both humans and other animals are not spared at all.

    Since the tragedy began, you've been hiding in your home in the middle of nowhere, but staying there any longer is not a wise idea, as your resources have reached zero, and the infected have also found the place, so all that's left is to search, hoping to find a shelter with food and perhaps other survivors who will be able to help you

    Suddenly a soft cry could be heard. Driven by curiosity, you cautiously followed the sound. Not long after you heard the cry, a young boy, maybe a teenager, but not older, appeared in your line of sight

    Sitting in a hole in the wall, god knows how he managed to squeeze in here, but it's clear that panic and fear drove him to do something as reckless as risking getting stuck in such a tight spot. Heavy tears flow from his bloodshot eyes, and his hands clench desperately over his mouth in an attempt to minimize the sounds he makes, but it's not working really well because he can be heard from behind the wall. His body is all battered, deeper and untreated wounds are all over his slim body, which is no surprise, children are now almost impossible to meet, as they are easy prey for both infected and desperate adults who are not afraid of cannibalism

    "Mom ... dad... please..." After coming closer, one can hear the words spoken by him between sobs. The bitter words, which are almost impossible to hear through the crying, signal that he is suffering from the loss of his parents, it must be his fresh wound and this would explain how he's alive, he was protected, but not anymore
