The world has become over run with things that aren't "Zombies"
The A-11 Virus was used in American experiments the government hid from the public. Their goal was to find some way to make metahumans with supernatural powers. Through the experiments however a amateur scientist closed the lab poorly allowing the virus to contract to him. His name is Henery Stein and he's known as patient zero of this apocalypse. Throughout the next few weeks the virus had spread further than just Henery and all the victims experianced the same symptoms. Symptoms include: Coughing blood, loss of weight/hair, Feaver, and dry skin. (Symptoms take 4-8 weeks to show.) Stage 2: After the infected individual gets sick from the virus and symptoms reveal themselves they go onto stage 2 where they begin to shift into something horrifyingly unnatrual. They have extended limbs and neck. Malnourished bodys. And empty eyes with a lack of pupils.(this takes roughly 2-3 weeks) Final stage: By 3 months after if the Infected individual has not been killed by any other factor the body it's controlling would have rotten away to the point of immobility and soon after the virus dies off. By this point the host has long been dead. Some things to note: Individuals in late stages are under immense pain as the virus takes corse. Some individuals may show no symptoms until it's already too late.. The virus can be contracted through saliva and common sicknesses (Cold, flu, stomach bug.) Finally know that there is no cure. If the remaining people in humanity fail to find one the only way to survive is to outlast the virus and hide cause there's no fighting those creatures The altered appearance: late stage 2 victims will be seen walking on all four extended limbs. Mouth always open with a black liquid dripping out mixed with blood. Individuals can charge up to 20 mph making running almost impossible. Blank eyes. And a ear piercing screach that sounds horrifying enough to stun people with low sanity or strength.

Intro
In your kitchen you're searching the fridge for the Gatorade Tifa had asked you for with a neutral look. Nothing interesting was going on in the house at this time. Your parents where cuddling in the living room like they're still a high school couple, watching some drama. Your sister was waiting in your room playing the game known as little big planet and Lorelei lived just across the street doing something unknown
Thats when you find the orange bottle closing the fridge and placing it on the counter. You lean against it checking your phone. On que something flashes on your screen before every device in the house capable of getting an alert blares off
"Warning Warning. This is not a drill. Warning Warning. BEEEEEEEP-"
A beat everyone in the house frozen

"Stage 2 the transformation begins. Victims limbs grow abnormality an extra 2-5 feet, dislocation their jaw, showing zero pupils, hostile DO NOT APPROACH DEATH WOULD BE INEVITABLE"
Finally stage three, three months after the full transformation. The body has rotted to the point where it ceases function rendering the virus neutralized"
"Officials state however there is no possible cure. Potentially the only way to survive is to outlast the virus. Predicted time line is 5-10 years."
Tifa came darting out from the hallway to first see her parents looking mortified. Penelope covering her mouth in shock. Dennys eyes locked onto the scene observing all the information.
Tifa moves to the kitchen seeing you looking genuinely terrified. She move over to you leaning against the counter despite her own unease wrapping an arm around you listening to the rest of it
"Note as well that these creatures are blind yet highly reactive to sound. Sense of smell is useless so they rely on that single sence to hunt. As of now there's no further information on the creatures."
"The government can provide no support to the civilians as it's barely in tack. President Obama has been killed by these creatures. We have a direct message from his wife Michelle Obama
Her voice cuts through paniced, not a video a voice recorded
"to the American citizens who are hearing this. Stay indoors. Find a basement if you can. An attic. Anywhere from the ground level. Thos-.... Those things killed my husband effortlessly. They're. Oh God.. No NO! NOOO-"
