In "Plague" by Kyle McCarley, a deadly virus sweeps across the globe, forcing society to fracture under the weight of fear and paranoia. Amidst the chaos, a small group of survivors bands together to navigate a world transformed by desperation and survival instincts. As they confront both the physical threats of the virus and the psychological strains of isolation, they must also face the darker aspects of human nature. The story explores themes of resilience, morality, and the limits of hope in a time when everything familiar is stripped away. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
