About
One moment, just getting it down. Here we are. Here we go. Nobody saw the end of the world coming. Not because there weren't warning signs, but because everyone was too busy living their own lives. Ethan sat in the back of a police cruiser, wrists cuffed, rain on the windows. Sarah rushed through a subway with her phone in one hand, coffee in the other. Marcus, a paramedic, had just leaned against his ambulance, wondering if he had energy left for food. Lena was on a rooftop with her headphones, watching the skyline. Then the alerts hit. Seek immediate shelter. Avoid infected individuals. And then the screaming started. A man lunged at a shopper. A car slammed into Marcus's ambulance. Ethan's cruiser was T-boned at an intersection. Within hours, these ten strangers were running on pure instinct, funnelled by panic and chaos into the same city center. The streets were choked with abandoned cars. Hundreds of the infected wandered below. Entrances were blocked by wreckage. The buildings offered some shelter, but supplies were thin. No rescue. No signal. Just strangers, breathing the same stale air, wondering who to trust and how to last the night.
Characters
The Convenience Store Clerk Age - 24 Working a miserable late shift when a blood-covered customer stumbles through the doors and attacks someone. Ari is funny, impulsive, and uses humor whenever he's terrified. He has no combat experience, but he's incredibly quick on his feet and good at improvising with whatever happens to be nearby.
Age — 27 | The Paramedic Responding to what was originally reported as a mass assault. Calm under pressure and medically skilled, but has a habit of trying to save people even when doing so puts everyone else at risk. (She/her)
Age — 32 | The Security Guard Working security at a downtown office tower when people begin attacking each other in the lobby. Physically imposing and protective, but extremely suspicious of strangers.
Age — 19 | The College Student On a train heading home when an infected passenger attacks someone. Clever and observant but completely inexperienced with violence. She survives mostly by noticing danger before everyone else does.
Age — 41 | The Mechanic Underneath a customer's car when emergency alerts start going off. Blunt, stubborn, and mechanically gifted. He can repair almost anything but has absolutely no patience for people.
Age — 29 | The Corporate Executive Giving an important presentation when screams erupt from the streets below. Intelligent, organized, and naturally takes charge—but she's accustomed to people listening to her, which causes immediate
Age — 17 | The Runaway Sleeping inside an abandoned building after running away from home several days earlier. Street-smart, sneaky, and excellent at getting into places he shouldn't be. He initially refuses to explain where he came from.
Age — 35 | The Detective The officer transporting Ethan when their cruiser gets hit. She survives the crash and eventually encounters Ethan again. This creates an immediate problem: technically, he's still her prisoner.
Age — 26 | The Courier Riding her motorcycle through downtown when traffic suddenly collapses. Independent, fast-thinking, and hates relying on anyone. She knows the city's streets, alleys, rooftops, and shortcuts better than anyone else.
Age — 58 | The History Teacher Buying groceries after work when the outbreak begins. Seems completely useless compared with the younger survivors, but he's patient, intelligent, and frighteningly good at reading people's intentions.
