An artwork done by the author himself since his initial plan was to present the story in manga form..apparently, change of plans.... Hopefully the readers can see more images inserted b/w parts of the story (in the future) <<less

"This Book is the Summer Journal of Evan Daniels in the year 1993! If found, please turn in at the front desk of the Squire Apartments located next to Fairhill Square if you're in Philly. If you find it in Muldraugh, then please return this to 222 Hostler Way. This is important, please! It's for my summer assignment! "... more>>

An average, normal looking journal whose cover worn and damaged with wear and stained with what is hopefully more tears and sweat than blood. What was supposed to be an assignment covering what your summer job was like became a tale of a desperate struggle for survival and a meaning for that survival. It is July 1993 in Kentucky, and hell has run out of room and released its prisoners. On the 1st, the local municipal company had to shut off land lines into the region . On the 4th despite difficulties in staff becoming ill the Independence Day celebration went off without a hitch. On the 6th, the Military blockaded the entire region south of Louisville and north of Fort Knox going as far west as the crook in the Ohio River. It was a large enough area that it contained Muldraugh, West Point, Valley Station and other small communities and covered territory of four separate counties: Meade, Hardin, Bullit and Jefferson. This is a region referred to by its inhabitants as 'Knox Country'.

No one outside of the boundary was told of what was going on within, save only that a disease had emerged and was being contained and the individuals afflicted cared for. With the landlines down there was no way to communicate with those within save to pray and hope that God himself delivered the message with one of his angels. Within the boundary... a nightmare was unfolding unlike any other the world had ever seen. People grew sick, then they died... but not all the way.

They returned, ferocious and hungry. Eager for flesh of any sort, but their fellow man's most of all.

Why was this happening? What was the cause of all this? Was this a purposeful attack by another nation, a mutation induced by science in its hubris, or God's Divine Wrath poured down on us all for our hubris and sin? Was there even a purposeful cause at all, or was this just a new twist in nature's evolutionary game?

Perhaps answering questions like those are what motivated this young man to keep writing in his journal in these dark days. Perhaps in these records of his experiences, some measure of the truth can be found. But the record within this tome may not be for the frail of heart, for this is not a triumphant hero's journey, nor a coming of age tale.

This is the story of how we died. <<less
