The most important factor in survival is neither intelligence nor strength but adaptability - Charles Darwin

I remember walking down the side walk during the summer. The smell of freshly cut grass was my favorite. I remember hearing children yell, and dogs bark. The sky was so blue, the leaves were so green, the people around me--so happy.... Life is good. Well, it was good. Now every moment is a fight for survival, every moment is filled with fear. The thing that separates us from the living is how we control that fear, and how we channel it into something greater. Now everyday is a trial--a test to see if you are fit to live. Your reward if you do live; more days of fear and running. But, hey. At least we're alive.

The year is current. A virus has spread to what is assumed everywhere. This virus made the first carriers extremely sick, and then upon death they would be reanimated into the walking dead. A bite from one of these creatures would then infect the person with the very same virus, eventually killing them and reanimating them-- just the same as the others. What very few people know, is that everyone carries a strand of this virus. Any way you die, if your brain is intact you will turn into one of the walking dead.

Georgia with a population of 10.31 million is statistically one of the best places to be during an apocalypse. There are gun stores, and a large amount of convenience stores throughout the small towns--making it easier to survive. The forests are dense with trees that provide shelter, and food. The capital of Georgia, Atlanta, has a surplus of supplies, including the majority of any medical supplies. Unfortunately, Atlanta had a population of 472,522 people, after the virus spread Atlanta became overrun with the dead. Will our group be able to survive?
