“More than I like the validation. More than I like the attention. More than I like the feeling of being kissed. More than I like myself... I like you”. Grimm didn’t respond. “And don’t tell me it’s because I’m feeling vulnerable, because I’ve never felt more secure than I feel when I’m around you”. ———————————————————————————— An Australian study of an aggressive mutation of the Rabies virus has gone to hell when patient zero escapes, infecting others with the disease. And in no time the virus has spread. Turning the majority of the population in to mindless, cannibalistic killing machines. At the onset of the outbreak, Eris Winter, her son, Dorian, and her violent husband, James are evacuated from their building and taken to the nearest government military base -now a designated safe zone-. Where Eris finds safety from her husband in the office of military Doctor, Grimm. As Eris is thrust in to a post apocalyptic world, she must fight to ensure the survival of herself, her son, and her newest friend, Grimm. But survival from what? Her husband? The infected hosts? Or others just like her who have to kill or be killed in order to see the next day?. What would Eris do to survive? What would she do for Grimm?
