The Procyon Strain

by Anthony Barnhart

Spring showers bring May flowers-and zombies. The Procyon Strain sacked towns and cities across the world, but these were just warm-up acts, breath-stopping teasers of what was to come. In this second installment of The Procyon Strain Saga, we see the Main Act firsthand. Rapid outbreaks, rumored to be the work of terrorists, strike cosmopolitan cities across the eastern seaboard of the United States. The armed forces are stretched thin, and attempts to contain the virus fail. Panic engulfs the country-and the world-as the virus takes Center Stage. The City of Seven Hills doesn't escape this postmodern plague, and the tenants of the House on Ring Street come face-to-face with the virus's bounty-and with their own mortality. Not everyone will make it out of the city alive.
