The Apocalypse That Brought Color to My Life

Even before the Apocalypse, Aryan Blackwood's life was colourless. His life was a repetitive cycle of meaningless tasks and artificial lights. So when a hyper-aggressive, rabies-like virus began turning humans into Crawlers, grotesque, pale predators that hunt on all fours, it didn't make any difference to him. But Aryan’s grey existence is shattered when he encounters Aurora Sterling. A girl who was taking shelter in his apartment. Amidst the ash and shadow of a dying city, Aurora is a defiant burst of light. She is the first splash of color he has truly seen in years. Aryan isn't a hero but he is desparate to protect Aurora. To Aryan, Aurora is "The Dawn", the only light worth protecting in a world that submerging into darkness.
