Chapter 1: The Outbreak

The world changed in an instant. No one knew what was happening or how to stop it. It started with a few reports of strange behavior, people acting erratically and violently, attacking those around them without warning. Within hours, it had spread across the world, a virus that turned its victims into something else entirely.

Sarah had been at work when the first reports came in. She was a nurse, and the hospital where she worked had been inundated with patients showing strange symptoms. At first, they had thought it was a new strain of the flu, but as the day wore on, it became clear that it was something much worse.

People were dying, but they weren't staying dead. They were rising again, their eyes vacant and their movements jerky and unpredictable. Sarah had seen it with her own eyes, a patient she had treated earlier in the day suddenly springing back to life and attacking her.

The hospital had quickly become a war zone, with survivors fighting to stay alive against the growing horde of the infected. Sarah had managed to escape, but not before witnessing unspeakable horrors.

Now, as she stumbled through the deserted streets of the city, she knew that things would never be the same again. The world had been turned upside down, and there was no going back.

She had to find a way to survive, to stay alive in a world that had become a nightmare. But first, she had to find other survivors, people who could help her fight back against the growing tide of the undead.

The outbreak had just begun, and Sarah knew that the worst was yet to come.
