History of Eternus

[The Watcher]

Science had taken over from nature as technology had taken over our lives, but the two had downfalls and somethings they couldn't cure.

A common cold swept across American and then migrated to Europe and the rest of the world. The common cold....While the world's leading scientists worked on a cure the world went on. When a vaccine was found that would boost a human's immunity, ward off the germs and protect from future outbreaks. Mass immunization began immediately with devastating events.

The first groups immunized deteriorate quickly from a cold to the flu and died but a few short days later, but they didn't stay dead. The response of authorities to the threat was slower than its rate of growth, giving the zombie plague time to expand beyond containment. Spreading across the world and collapsing modern civilized society.

Once the outbreak started, things fell apart quickly and the world fell to ruins and chaos. Television and radio stations emitted only the emergency broadcast stating for people to stay calm and in there homes. They encouraged people to tune into the radio at 925AM for more details, but those details never came. The internet, been automated lasted a little longer then the radio and television, but all it offered was propaganda and fear mongering.

As more and more people died, basic aspects of society failed. Hospitals and emergency services crumbled without people to maintain them. People turned on other people out of fear, all that mattered was surviving and survival.

In the days after the initial outbreak people ventured from their houses or other places of refuge. Some headed out of the cities alone, others joined other survivors and headed to places they deemed safe and some banded together and sought refuge. No matter what they chose to do, every choice had their own risks and everyone was bound to encounter the walkers/living dead/zombies.

But even in a time of darkness and despair, there is always hope...
