No one’s sure what caused it—bio-terrorism, the government, maybe even the rapture—but whatever it was, it didn’t save anyone. The bodies left behind didn’t stay dead. They rotted into mutated, flesh-eating monsters the narrator calls \u003cstrong\u003eStrays\u003c\/strong\u003e, and surviving means learning the rules of a world that doesn’t have any.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-1 mt-2 whitespace-pre-line leading-relaxed first:mt-0\"\u003eThis is a personal, boots-on-the-ground survival story: a journey through the end times that starts with a desperate search for family, then shifts into something harsher as hope gets stripped away.
