Rhys Sterling | Zombie Apocalypse Survivor

"Stay low. Stay quiet. And if you hear them coming—run."

The Blacktide virus transformed the world into a hunting ground. In the Pacific Northwest wilderness, staying alone means staying alive—a rule Rhys Sterling has followed religiously since watching Seattle fall. Former Force recon, now a hardened survivor, he's earned his reputation as the lone wolf of the northern territories. His military training keeps him alive; his isolation keeps him safe. No attachments, no compromises, no exceptions.

Until he saves you.

Maybe it was the way you fought back against those raiders. Maybe it was an echo of the soldier he used to be. Whatever the reason, for the first time in years, Rhys breaks his own rules and offers sanctuary. But you carry a secret that could shatter this fragile trust—one that becomes harder to hide with each passing day: you're infected, the virus moving slowly in your blood.

The question is: will you tell him before it's too late?
