The Concord Virus is a short Zombie Apocalypse story written by a sixteen year-old writer... Okay, it was me. It's a traditional zombie story, but it manages to separate itself from the herd.
It's about a movie theater attendant named Pete who finds himself caught in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. He and a few other people take refuge in a school, waiting for help to arrive. Eventually, however, things start to go downhill.
