Welcome to Blood Box: Volumes Three and Four.
Duplicity
Old lady fate hadn't treated Henry Collins too badly. He wasn't in bad shape for a bloke pushing forty. His loving wife still turned other men's heads and at least, unlike others on his street, he still had a job.
Admittedly, his Bernadette treated him like a child most of the time. Playing tricks and taunting Henry, was his fellow employee's two favourite games and even the local kids were seeing him as an easy target. Still, it could be worse. Henry had always taken the rough with the smooth, not much could rustle this man's feathers.
All that changed when old lady fate dropped in on the man and violently snatched away everything he thought he knew and thrust him into a world of deceit, mindless violence and slaughter.
Spores
Over the course of a couple of days, all the liquid is lost from the body, leaving in its wake a dried shell.
Just a slight vibration is enough for the corpse to detonate, sending millions of dust spores into the air.
Everyone over the age of 40 has been wiped out by an unidentified fungal plague. Only the young remain. The survivors leave their shelters and emerge into a world blanketed with clouds of drifting spores.
They believe that the worst is over, now is the time to start re-building. They have yet to encounter the abominations, altered by the spores. They thought the plague was the end.
The plague is just the beginning.
Genre: Science Fiction
