Cindered Bones

by Nefertam

Set after the events of Follow Me Down, a viral epidemic decimates the world's population. The infected suffer before dying and rising again as the undead. In this world of pain and suffering, our heroes are tossed together for survival. With the promise of a cure on the horizon, will they live, and will they just become another pile of Cindered Bones?

1. How It Happened

"The way it happened, no one had time to react. It was like a plague. A virus. People started getting sick, just a little cold at first. Then it got worse. A lot of people just up and died without an explanation. You'd go to someone's house to check on 'em, and their entire family would be dead. But then they weren't. Bodies would get up and walk again, even after they'd been shot or cut. Nothin' killed em."

"It's worse than that. The infected would get an insatiable craving for meat. Livin' meat; cows, horses, and humans. A lot of people who didn't get sick got eat instead. And if you didn't get eat, you got bit and infected anyways."

"Then there's us. The survivors. We're special. Or so they tell me. Either way, we're alive, and everyone else is dead. This is life now. So where were you when the world went to hell?"

Welcome, foolish mortals, to Cindered Bones! This is the (no-canon) Zombie Apocalypse sequel to Follow Me Down, so if you haven't read that, I would if I were you! There will be references!

Now then, I will be opening submissions for this story, as I will be having multiple surviving groups. Here's the twist though: I want your characters to be of supernatural origins. They can be werewolves, vampires, superheroes, or anything you want (with my approval)! However, I still want your characters to be as REALISTIC, detailed, and rounded as possible. Also, I will please ask that if you have already submitted a character to Follow Me Down, please do not submit another one. Thank you!
