Surviving Zombies
When the power dies in Savannah, it doesn’t come back on—it wakes the dead.
As the city collapses into chaos, the Leesburg family is ripped apart across multiple frontlines. Dr. Sharon Leesburg barricades herself inside a hospital wing overrun by violence, forced to make impossible triage decisions as patients turn into predators. Her husband, Dr. Ellis Leesburg—a top-clearance military neuroscientist stationed at Hunter Army Airfield—races to contain an outbreak he helped study, only to realize it has already breached the base.
Their children are scattered through a city gone black.
Six-year-old Ella Belle, the heart of the family, never makes it home from school. She vanishes somewhere between early dismissal and total collapse—leaving no answers, no trace, and no time.
Justin Leesburg, 23, is forced into leadership on the streets, navigating back alleys and dead zones with dwindling supplies, a group of traumatized survivors, and the constant fear that every step away from home is a step farther from his missing sister. His younger sister Tally—reckless, volatile, and desperate to matter—keeps dragging danger toward them, mistaking noise for courage and control for heroism. Mari, Justin’s partner, is pushed past patience into brutal honesty. Kenzie, a quiet survivor carrying her dog and the memory of her family’s deaths, learns fast—because silence, not strength, keeps you alive.
This is not a story about smart zombies or easy survival.
The dead react to sound.
The living react to fear.
Every choice is loud. Every mistake echoes. And while the horde closes in from the outside, the real danger fractures the people still breathing—grief, guilt, rage, and the unbearable question haunting them all:
Where is Ella Belle?
Surviving Zombies is a visceral, character-driven apocalypse that strips away hero fantasies and replaces them with moral collapse, trauma, and the brutal truth of survival: you don’t just fight the end of the world—you fight each other, and yourself, while it’s happening.
