Leftovers

Leftovers series

You know those times in your life when you think it can't get any worse...and then does? Stuck in a dead end job you hate, dumped by your girlfriend and hanging around with a bunch of losers? I wanted to change my life but didn't realize how quickly the ground shifted without me lifting a finger. The mutating flu virus took hold of the world so quickly that not even the best medical people could predict the scale of the deadly epidemic. I was stuck in the middle of the chaos, trying to reach the relative safe haven of a yacht in Battery Park Harbor, New York, with a former hit man, a junior doctor, two Goth girls and a minor criminal for company. Thousands of vicious, animated corpses stood between us and our route to safety."
