   Summary

   (The title is taken from Ever After by Olivia Vieweg)

    

   It's been four years since the apocalypse started, and Dale's been... well, surviving. But after one of his friends succumbs to the infection, he's tasked with taking care of two kids -- Kendra and Seth Sorenson. As tragedy after tragedy strikes, Dale has to do his best to keep both himself and the kids alive, and things quickly go from bad to worse when everyone finds themselves in the middle of a big conspiracy. Because this plague? It wasn't an accident.
