The Venge

It was a worldwide war that lasted only seconds.Nuclear warheads illuminated the sky like dying stars. Billions vanished in an instant. Mighty cities were reduced to ashes. Civilians became survivors.But six months after the bombs fell, something else arrived, something shockingly terrifying.Most people caught in the blast zones were vaporized. However, some weren't killed. Some clawed their way through the fallout, mutated by the radiation into something unrecognizable: the Venge.The Venge were horrific beasts with scorched skin, blood the color of orange, pus-filled wounds, and razor-sharp, jagged teeth. Bursting at the seams with pure rage, the eyes of these demented and murderous monsters resembled sandpaper, and the smell they emitted was incredibly foul. Some roamed like twisted beacons in the dark, while others hunted in packs like rabid wolves.For James Carney, survival was a daily war, scavenging scraps of food and clean water with his brother and son, always listening for the Venge and always ready to run. It wasn't much of a life, and James knew it.But if there was still a future out there, still hope-someone had to fight for it. Could that someone be him?
