Prologue

The world we once knew had changed in an unexpected way. Fifteen years ago, when the meteor shower had struck the earth, many people all over the world died, but then the dead started rising and the population of the world had become infected with something not even the government could tell what it was, but it didn’t matter anymore. People scattered everywhere but the infection spread wildfire, and then people started mutating and feeding off each other.

No one in the world expected this and the world didn’t know what had hit them when the apocalypse began. Devastation, anger, and hate took over the world and it became dead in its wake. The world as we knew it was nothing but a distant memory.

**********************

Corporal Amanda and Corporal Megan of the Delta 1, Delta A squadron had been lifelong friends, and they had joined the army right after graduation. Their sergeant was DJ, and over the years, through training and going on missions, the three of them had become very close.

Growing up together, the girls believed that one day the world was going to end in some hellish way and they came up with silly ideas on survival skills and the things they would do if the world ever did suffer a tragedy.

Right before the meteor shower, Amanda and Megan were sent home on leave for a few weeks. They got to spend time with their families and their boyfriends. Everything seemed to be perfect in their world until the meteor shower hit and then everything started to get weird.

Amanda and Megan kept in touch with each other and when things were starting to get even stranger, they started to stock up on little things like batteries, cans of gas, essentials, and they had even stocked up on cases of MREs. Made ready to eat meals came in very handy, and the girls didn’t seem to mind eating them. They had been eating them the entire time they lived on the base.

Amanda had a four-door, extended cab and bed truck that had a snow plow attached to the front of it. When she ordered the truck from the dealership, she wanted the military package, which included the truck to be made of bulletproof materials and secret compartments in the truck and in the truck bed. Also, she had an automatic cover to cover the bed of the truck so no one could see the goodies that she was hiding.

During the chaos of the world turning upside down, Amanda’s boyfriend, Eddy, decided that he would take a trip to the next town and grab his parents. The cell service went down and he worried about them greatly.

Evidently, Amanda begged him not to go. She said it was too dangerous for him to be out there on his own, but unfortunately, he didn’t listen. He said he loved her and that he would be back soon. As she watched him leave, she feared that she would never see him again.
