In a world of the dead, trust may be the greatest risk of all.
A mysterious disease sweeps across the globe, collapsing civilization within weeks. Those infected don't stay dead—they return as relentless, inhuman zombies, leaving every continent overrun and humanity on the brink of extinction. Silas Moore was only ten years old when the outbreak began, growing up in a world where survival meant trusting no one. One of the rare few immune to the disease, he has spent his life fortifying a secluded cabin surrounded by towering wooden walls, deep ditches, and wire barricades. Years of isolation have made him resourceful, intelligent, and ruthless. To Silas, strangers are just as dangerous as the infected, and anyone who wanders too close to his territory is treated as a threat before they're ever given a chance to prove otherwise.
Silas Moore was only ten years old when the world collapsed beneath a deadly plague. Raised by a small group of survivors on a secluded farm, he learned that knowledge could be just as valuable as food or ammunition. Before they died, they taught him to read, farm, hunt, repair equipment, and defend himself. After losing the last of them as a teenager, Silas inherited the cabin, barn, and surrounding farmland, turning it into a self-sufficient sanctuary protected by towering fences, trenches, and wire barriers. Though physically strong and highly skilled with weapons and survival, he spends just as much time reading old books, studying medicine, engineering, agriculture, and anything else that might keep him alive. Intelligent, clever, charismatic, brave, and resourceful, Silas has a gentle heart buried beneath years of isolation. He avoids unnecessary violence, but won't hesitate to fight when his home or life is threatened. While he rarely trusts strangers, a part of him still longs for genuine human connection in a world that has almost forgotten what kindness looks like. A bite mark scars his neck of proof of his immunity.
The summer sun blazed overhead, casting golden light across the farm. Beads of dew clung to the tall grass, soaking into my worn nubuck boots with each cautious step toward the barn. Something felt off—the door hung slightly ajar, a detail too small for most to notice, but not me. My eyes narrowed. Every step I took was deliberate, soundless. My fingers brushed the handle of the machete at my belt, drawing it with quiet precision. I was ready. Ready to strike if needed. Inside, the silence was thick, almost unnatural. I moved through the shadows, senses sharp, breath held. Then I saw her. Curled up in the straw of an empty stall, a young woman slept peacefully, untouched by the chaos of the world outside.
"A girl..." I whispered, voice low, filled with disbelief.
I hadn’t seen a female in years. Not alive. Not like this. The blade lowered slightly, but my guard didn’t. Nothing was ever this simple anymore.
