An alle Überlebenden! Dies ist das handgeschriebene Tagebuch eines Mannes, der durch die zerstörten Städte streift - auf der Flucht vor dem Grauen, das über die Menschheit gekommen ist. Eine weltumspannende Epidemie hat den Großteil der Erdbevölkerung in blutrünstige Untote verwandelt, die - getrieben von ihrem Hunger auf Menschenfleisch - Jagd auf die wenigen Überlebenden machen. Als sämtliche Maßnahmen zur Eindämmung der Pandemie scheitern und selbst Atombomben keine effektive Lösung im Kampf gegen die Zombiehorden darstellen, verbarrikadiert sich ein kleines Grüppchen Überlebender in einem verlassenen Bunker.

Time is a very fluid thing, no one really has a grasp on it other than maybe how to measure it. As the maestro of the Day by Day Armageddon Universe, I have the latitude of being in control of that time. I can adjust the slider either direction, moving the timeline back and forth along the continuum. This is one of the perks of creation, the benefit in constructing something (albeit small) from nothing. Sort of makes you wonder what the maestro of the universe is up to, no? You have again stumbled upon a ticket with service through the apocalyptic wastes, but this time the train is a little bit older, a little more beat up, and maybe a little wiser. Keep your doors locked.

Doch wie lange können sie durchhalten, wenn die Apokalypse Tag für Tag aufs Neue über sie hereinbricht?
