Echoes of a Dying World

The world was normal once. Cities buzzed with the hum of life—people rushing to work, children playing in the parks, laughter spilling out of crowded cafes. But beneath the surface of this ordinary life, something sinister was brewing, a quiet disaster that no one saw coming.It began as a whisper, a rumor passed between news anchors, buried under headlines of political unrest and celebrity scandals. An outbreak of a strange virus had been reported in a remote town, far away from the bustling metropolises. The reports were vague at first, dismissing it as another flu strain. But as the days turned into weeks, the virus spread like wildfire, jumping from town to town, city to city, leaving death in its wake.The first signs were subtle—people growing pale, complaining of fatigue, and then, in the blink of an eye, they'd collapse. What happened next was beyond comprehension. The dead didn't stay dead. They rose, hungry, driven by an insatiable need to feed. Hospitals were overwhelmed, emergency services were paralyzed, and within a month, the world had changed forever.Panic set in. Governments imposed martial law, cities were locked down, and the military was deployed. But it was all in vain. The infection spread faster than anyone could control, and soon, the world was plunged into chaos.
