Extinct
AM13
Outbreak Series Book 3
by
Samie Sands
Genre:
Horror
Writing
books about the horrors of the zombie apocalypse is one thing—but
Georgie Blake can’t believe it has become her reality…
She
never expected her fictional stories of blood, death, and the
consumption of human flesh to jump off the page into the real world.
She certainly didn’t think she’d survive this long if they had.
As a shy novelist, she was sure she’d be one of the first to
die.
Safe
in the Sanctuary, Georgie holds on to hope for a cure...
But
that’s not all she holds on to. The government has promised the
people of the Sanctuary that they can return home. The rumours are
rife that there is an antidote on the horizon. But even if not, the
infected are dying out, throwing the treacherous AM13 virus to the
brink of extinction. If the infection dies out, this horrible
nightmare Georgie is living in will be a distant memory.
Until
everything that’s right goes terribly wrong...
Soon
after meeting some new friends in the Sanctuary, Georgie learns she’s
going to have to face the monsters outside the walls if she wants to
return to her old life. But for a scared, introverted bookworm, it
may be too much to consider...
Will
Georgina conquer her fears of the dead to return home, or will she be
one of the countless others who have gone Extinct?

Undead Virus Series
by Georgina Blake – Book 6. Title undecided – maybe ‘Fearless’?
Kara’s
chest heaved and her breaths got shorter. The room she found herself in was
pitch black and eerily quiet. She tentatively took a step forward, wincing at
the echo of each movement. She blinked rapidly, trying to work out what she was
supposed to do, but nothing immediately came to mind.
“Hello?”
she whispered, unsure of how loud she should talk.
She
was answered by a resounding silence. Certain she was alone, she continued
moving with more confidence.
She
ran her fingers along the ice cold wall, trying to find an exit. The dark was
disconcerting and, to be honest, creeping her out a bit. She much preferred
being able to see what she was doing.
Suddenly,
her fingers stumbled across a steely metal. Kara jumped back, panicking for
some unknown reason. When nothing happened, she continued to move her hand
along—what was becoming obvious—a chain. As much as she was confused by this,
she was also curious, excited almost. Her lips started to tremble, but this
time because she was sure she was about to be free of this constricting
blackness.
A
noise reverberated off the walls and Kara span around, hands in front of her
face. This action was completely pointless of course, she still couldn't see
anything. As her heart rate slowed down, she started to think she had just
invented the noise. That or someone was just trying to mess with her. Her palms
were sweating as she fumbled frantically with the chain, shaking and pulling
it, no longer caring how loud she was. She just needed this nightmare to be
over.
She
gave up tugging, tears threatening to spill out, and simply started screaming
for help. Her panic levels had reached hysteria and she felt like nothing was
going to shake her out of it. She shouted louder and with more determination.
Why was everyone ignoring her, God damn it? She was absolutely sure someone
could come and help her if they really wanted to.
A
growl emanated, so low it could have been in Kara's imagination. The
overwhelming stench of rot that accompanied it stunned her into silence. She
couldn’t even breathe. It suddenly became very obvious to her what was
happening, and even though terror filled her entire being, she didn't move,
cry, or even really feel. She was just numb and frozen.
The
chains started rattling and Kara let out a whimper. She suddenly realised what
she had been messing with only moments before, how could she have been so
stupid? She staggered backwards, the knowledge that she would only hit stone
wall doing nothing to stop her. Her body was just reacting in a natural way, trying
to escape danger, even if there was no real option left for her. Her legs felt
heavy and her lungs tight. What now?
She
slumped to the floor, her back to the wall, not even noticing the cold anymore.
Her mind was racing, trying to come up with a solution. She had a little
experience in this area of course, but to be honest, up until this point she
had been really lucky. Why had she thought this was something she could do?
The
circular design of the room meant she had no idea where any of the sounds were
coming from; there was just no way of telling. Even though her body had well
and truly given up this fight, resigned to its inevitable end, her mind was
screaming at her, begging her to fight back. She started whispering to herself,
the first sign of madness coming through thick and strong, telling herself
there was no point, there was nothing she could do anyway.
Suddenly
a drip of pus fell onto her bare shoulder. Kara screeched and cowered away,
crawling at the speed of light across the floor, knocking into her attacker’s
legs on the way. She knew she was quicker of course, that was common knowledge,
but she also knew there was only so long she could avoid it. She would get
tired long before that bastard would. Many people had been taken out using that
tactic.
The
growling and movement became more frequent, as if realising she was definitely
there had set a firework up her assailant’s backside and now it was honing in
on its opponent. She stood up, fists flailing in all directions. She knew
hand-to-hand combat wasn't exactly ideal, but she just needed to buy herself
some time. There had to be something in this Godforsaken room she could fight
with, that was the point, wasn't it? She wished her eyes would adjust to the
dark, but it was so black in here, she had no hope of that.
Her
toe smacked violently into something wooden on the floor. Kara screamed out in
pain and started hopping around. How was it possible to stub your toe in a
circular room?
That
was it!
She
suddenly remembered them saying there was always something you could use to
defend yourself, however difficult the situation. She bent down and wrapped her
hands around the cylindrical piece of wood, a newfound hope filling her heart.
Okay,
so it wasn't exactly a gun or a machete, but at least she was no longer
completely helpless. She swung the wood aimlessly, a smile playing on her lips.
She was going to get out of this mess alive, whatever the cost.
Finally
she connected. The squelching sound and splat across her face, of what she
could only assume was blood, confirmed this much. The thing grunted as she
swung repeatedly, determined to finish this off quickly.
Suddenly,
a glaring white light filled the room and she was momentarily blinded. Kara
span around, confident of her achievement. She waved the stick above her head,
imagining cheers from an invented audience. She stepped towards the light,
wondering what her future held…

impress a crush…
With
a prank online video, Leah hopes to catch the attention of Jake

forward the clip to her boss—who buys every gory second.

should she disobey government orders and break free to reunite with
her family?
