Viral

If I’ve learnt anything in recent months it is that the world used to be full of far too much noise and now is full of a lot of silence, but sometimes that is exactly what you need.A virus far worse than anything ever experienced before has decimated the population in a very short time. What passes for civilisation is hanging by the thinnest of threads; often those threads have been severed.Only the lucky, or unlucky, few have survived and are trying to carve out some kind of life for themselves. The dead cannot be buried; there are too many. Now a new start must begin.In a world with so few survivors left to help each other, they may have no choice but to help themselves.New paths must be forged, new existences created, and hopefully new lives worth living. These lives must intertwine with others who may or may not wish them harm. Wherever anarchy presides, danger is standing in wait just behind.CONTENT GUIDANCEPlease note that parts of this novel explore aspects of psychology and mental health, and contain depictions of self-harm, murder and suicide.
