Claire's Apocalypse: A Zombie Horror Short Story

She built the perfect weapon. She never considered what would happen when she lost control of it.

As featured on The No Sleep Podcast.

Dr. Claire Lyle spent nine years inside a classified military facility perfecting V7 — a pathogen engineered to hijack the human body, bypass the immune system, and spread with terrifying efficiency. When the Army moves to shut down the program, Claire makes a decision she can't take back.

The meeting at Manny's Diner is supposed to be simple. Make the trade. Take the money. Disappear with her family to Mexico.

But Claire is already too late to stop what she's started.

Claire's Apocalypse is a chilling short horror story about scientific hubris, the military-industrial machine, and the moment humanity loses the war it never knew it was fighting. Perfect for fans of outbreak horror, dark government conspiracies, and zombie fiction that hits like a gut punch.

“A short story succinctly told. Well-packed details flesh out the characters. Conflicts between characters brings depth and makes the story development alive.” -Goodreads Reviewer
