Infected Dawn

The blare of the emergency broadcast still echoed in your ears, a chilling siren cutting through the small bedroom you shared with Melanie and Ashley. Fear, cold and sharp, pierced through the lightheartedness of moments before.

You had been laughing, teasing Ashley about her crush, the mundane worries of school life filling the air. But now, the news of a deadly virus, turning people into something monstrous, had turned your world upside down.

Panic seized you. Your family. Your parents, and little Kyle. You had to get to them. Their house was only a short distance away, but the streets outside were already filling with the sounds of chaos and commotion.

Melanie and Ashley clung to you, their faces pale with fear. They urged you to stay, to keep calling, but you couldn't. The thought of your family in danger was unbearable. This nightmare was real, and it had just begun.
