Bixby And Mature Themes

Decent Essays
I was 12 years old when the world ended. For eight years I've survived in this crap-hole once known as earth. Fighting the alien parasite that mutated most of the population into blood-thirsty freaks, while the rest of us became the lunch special on their alien menu.

Now things are changing, and not for the better. The parasite is evolving. Becoming smarter, stronger, and deadlier.

They've already stolen everything from me. My home. My family. Even the man I loved. It's time for this bullshit to end once and for all.

My name is Bixby and I'm the resistance.

Mature themes. 17+
