The Sickness
Imagine your an average teenager, who until now has lived an average life. Sure, you might have had your problems, maybe in school, maybe your parents got divorced, or your goldfish died, but you had a decent life. You're just a kid after all, not having to worry about all that goes on in the world, all the things adults do on a day to day basis to keep you happy and healthy. You don't worry about putting dinner on the table, making sure you have a roof over your head, because that's your parents job. You don't worry about the farmers you make your food, police and firemen who keep your world safe, doctors, politicians, construction workers, anyone who keeps the world the way it is. You can't imagine a world without them, and you take it all for granted.
Now imagine that people begin to fall ill. It's not very exciting at first, just a glorified cold. A cough, a fever, a sore throat perhaps. But it gets worse. It doesn't take long for people to realize that there is a new sickness, spread across the world from the America's to Europe, to Asia and Africa. People everywhere are dying. Scientist try to find a cure, but it's only a matter of time before they fall ill as well. What becomes clear, however, is that no one under the age of 18 is affected by the sickness. No one knows why, no one can explain what's happening, but as the world dies you stay fine.
You're alone now. Your parents, teachers, older siblings, every adult in your life is gone, and now you have to survive. You need food and water, somewhere to sleep at night, but most importantly, you need to defend yourself.
But imagine that not all the adults died from the sickness. See, some of them still walk the streets after the sickness takes them. They're hungry, and they'll do anything for food. They'll hunt and kill, and all they want is you.
Adults
They go by many names. Adults, sickos, walkers, infected and of course, Zombies. But zombies, while the most common term is not technically correct. The Adults have not died and been reanimated, and for all intents and purposes are still alive. It is however, easy to see the resemblance to zombies. They are diseased and feral in appearance, often covered in blood and puss. Of course, the fact that they are cannibalistic also helps to reinforce the idea that they are zombies.
But as they share the same unaltered anatomy as humans, they are just as easy to kill. A blow to the chest is just as effective as a headshot. They can feel pain, the same as they normally would. And depending on how far gone they are, some can even solve simple problems, but as the disease takes over their last bit of what made them human disappears too and all they can think of is food.
London
London was once a beautiful city, full of historical landmarks and tourists. It was a city full of character and history, and home of over 8.5 million people (most of whom are now zombie like monsters), but like most major cities, it did not fair well. Riots and military campaigns against the sick destroyed much of the city, and left thousands of people dead. Still, the city remains standing, despite being now nothing more then a massive ghost town.
It has been a week since 'doomsday', a pathetic final attempt to contain the sickness in London, and the majority of the world has gone dark. 90% of all adults in London have either died from the sickness or completely succumbed too it, while those who remain are beginning to display symptoms of the diseases final stage. The city is now in a state of Anarchy, with children now left to fend for themselves.
