Still Alive: A zombie apocalypse novel
Total Length: 404 pages
Panning down from the evening autumn sky, the scene comes to rest on a major freeway leading to and from Tokyo, Japan during rush hour. Suddenly there is movement across the field of view, but there is nothing solid to look at. The faint outline of an elliptical object maneuvers down toward a freeway overpass bending light around it, as if somehow cloaked from view. The object attaches to the side of the overpass and begins spraying a greenish liquid vapor which wafts down across all lanes of traffic.
A similar scene happens near Moscow, then again through several other major cities in Europe including London, England. Following the setting sun to the west across the Atlantic Ocean, New York City comes into view and a similar transparent object comes down and attaches itself to a freeway overpass, contaminating cars going in both directions with the same green mist.
The camera pans up and out as the overhead view converts into a digital map of the area and every contaminated car shows up as a green dot. Continuing to move up and away from the Earth, a continual stream of green dots can be seen, which represent contaminated cars, moving in both directions, spreading away from the spray point. The city quickly saturates with lime green as cars seem to pour down all side streets and through every area of the city almost simultaneously.
Continuing to lift up and away, the less populated areas can be seen saturating with green as well. Not as quickly as the cities have, but still with amazing efficiency and almost total coverage. Continuing to zoom out, the shape of the East Coast of the United States comes into view as millions of little green dots, beginning in the major cities, spread across the entire Eastern Seaboard...
