The Cure

by Michael Abraham

It looked like it was going to be another typical school year at Dargin U. An average yet frustrated student named Mark contemplates his life as it unfolds before him in a way he feels he can’t control. Suddenly a terrible attack on the country changes his life forever. He watched in horror as his companions suffered and died; only, they didn’t stay dead for long. Mark struggles to survive in this world. He and his fellow survivors all must discover their own reason to survive, their reason to keep going. As the events play out they discover the true purpose of the attack and who is responsible. Mark and his team make the tough decision to try and solve the mystery of the attack while the world tears itself apart around them. In the end it’s a race through hell to complete a journey none of them think they will make it out of alive.
