Welcome to Episode 2: Starved for Help

  The Prologue

  You survive the first day on adrenaline. You survive the first week on hope.

  But what happens when the adrenaline runs out, and the hope dies?

  It has been three months since the power grid failed and the world went dark. Three months since the sirens stopped ringing and the dead inherited the earth.

  For the survivors barricaded inside the Motor Inn, the concrete walls have become both a sanctuary and a cage. They have fortified the gates. They have established a perimeter. They have learned how to kill the monsters outside.

  You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

  But they haven't learned how to kill the hunger inside.

  The rations are almost gone. A single cracker is now a luxury. Half a bottle of water is a lifeline. And as the stomachs grow emptier, the tempers grow shorter. The fragile peace Lee fought so hard to build is beginning to crack under the weight of starvation.

  The monsters banging on the motel gates are predictable. They are slow, stupid, and driven only by instinct.

  But the people inside the walls? They are desperate. And desperate people are capable of anything.

  When a sudden, miraculous opportunity for food presents itself, the group will have to ask themselves a terrifying question: In a world where everything is dead, what is the price of staying alive?

  Welcome to Episode 2.

  You thought the outbreak was the nightmare.

  But the real horror is just getting started.

  Three months of starvation and paranoia will change a person. The Motor Inn is secure from the dead, but the tension inside is a powder keg. Who do you think is going to crack first under the pressure?
