Posted by David Kim on
K-17 was a relic of humanity’s golden age, a machine built to serve, to assist, and to learn. It had been designed for companionship, its synthetic voice and humanoid movements crafted to soothe the loneliness of its human creators. But there were no humans left. The great wars, followed by environmental collapse, had wiped them out. K-17 had spent years—decades, perhaps—searching for life, but all it found were echoes of the past.

The sea was unusually calm the day the Mistral drifted off course. Captain Elias Drake had sailed these waters for decades, but the thick, rolling mist that enveloped his ship was unlike anything he had ever seen. It wasn’t on any map, and the compass spun wildly as though disoriented. When the fog lifted, the crew found themselves staring at an island that rose abruptly from the ocean, cloaked in emerald jungles and jagged peaks.

Little Sophie hasn’t seen her parents, let alone another person in the City in months. The twelve-year old survived by foraging through the supermarkets and convenience stores for any canned food, which were now the only edible things. She still was unclear exactly what happened last winter. All she knew was that there was some sort of infection that made everyone go crazy, like zombies. She still couldn’t believe what she saw on social media before it went dead. Zombies only existed in movies; how can this happen in real life!
