"Beyond the Darkness: Surviving the End With Love"
Sophia tightened her grip on the sleek, black handgun she had just bought, her heart pounding with a mix of excitement and caution. The crowded market buzzed around her, unaware of the deadly gift hidden beneath her leather jacket.
"Eighteen, huh?" she whispered to herself, feeling a thrill. "Happy birthday to me."
But then she felt it—a prickling sensation on the back of her neck. Someone was watching her.
She quickened her pace, blending into the crowd, her senses on high alert. Her father's voice echoed in her mind: "Trust your instincts. They won't betray you."
Turning a corner, she saw them—four men, all dressed in dark, menacing outfits, their eyes fixed on her.
"Damn it," Sophia muttered, breaking into a light jog. But the men matched her pace, their number growing as they called for backup.
She broke into a full sprint, weaving through the bustling market. The chaos was her cover, but it was also her prison. She couldn't fight them here without hurting innocent people.
Her breath quickened as she spotted the subway station entrance. Relief washed over her. A crowded station would be the perfect place to disappear.
But as she rushed down the stairs and through the gates, she froze.
Empty. Completely empty.
No passengers. No voices. No trains. Just the distant hum of electricity.
"What the hell?" Sophia whispered, her voice echoing.
The men appeared at the top of the stairs, grinning.
"End of the line, sweetheart," one of them sneered, pulling out a knife.
But before Sophia could react, a guttural scream pierced the silence.
A man—a fifth figure, unknown to both Sophia and the gangsters—lunged forward, sinking his teeth into one of the attackers' necks.
Blood sprayed. Panic erupted.
"What the—?" another gangster shouted, but the bitten man turned, his eyes glazed and dead, yet his body still moving.
He attacked his own ally, clawing and biting.
Sophia's eyes widened. "This can’t be real..."
The other gangsters tried to fight back, but every bite, every scratch only created more of the crazed, lifeless attackers.
"Zombies?" Sophia breathed, horror and disbelief crashing over her.
She gripped her gun tighter. "This was supposed to be a normal birthday..."
