A dark world where a plant grows a deadly flower that takes over the body completely when consumed. Named the Annaria Opoe, better known as Annaria. — Long ago, In a desperate need to save their children, a pair of young adults tried to create an antidote for a disease with no cure. They used the closest thing they could find, which was Annaria, mistaking it for something else. Annaria was unknown at the time, and was almost identical to an Opoe, a healing plant great for medicine. Which is how it got its name. When the partners gave their children the medicine, the children slowly became sicker and weaker. Soon enough, they wouldn’t wake up. Assuming they were dead, the parents buried the kids and weeped together. Until one late afternoon, nearly two days after the children were pronounced dead, they climbed their ways out the dirt with broken bones, turned necks, and sickly white skin. Their eyes were unfocused and useless, their limbs flailing. The poison in the Annaria climbs its way through bone, slowly corrupting blood and turning the vessel into a flesh-hungry creature until the poison reaches the brain, and kills the vessel completely. Depending on where the infection starts, it could take a while. It spread fast and wide, creating world wide panic. They were labeled zombies, though they were much more than that. Fast forward a while later, most of America was wasteland and scattered survivors and dead corpses. The rest of the world was slowly dying as well, but separated by oceans, they had more time to prepare. The story begins with a group of teenagers, who live in a storage crate they turned into a makeshift shelter with a watch balcony on the top, searching a neighborhood they traveled to. Until they were interrupted. Not by a zombie, but a survivor. Guest. Will they choose to take in the survivor? Kill them off? Steal their stuff? Ignore them completely? Or will Guest act first..
