I Had 5 Days of Warning Before the Zombie Outbreak and Spent Every Hour Preparing

I had five days of warning before the zombie outbreak began. Most people would think five days is more than enough time to prepare. But when the government is losing control, roads are closing, and the infected are already spreading, every hour becomes a race against time. Marc Ellison is an ordinary father living outside Columbus, Ohio. He isn't a soldier, survival expert, or doomsday prepper. But when his brother-in-law delivers a terrifying warning from inside the military, Marc realizes something catastrophic is coming. He has only **5 days**. With his wife Caroline and 12-year-old daughter Lily still unaware of the danger, Marc begins preparing in secret. He stockpiles food and water, secures their home, gathers medical supplies, reinforces windows, studies escape routes, and prepares for the possibility that civilization may collapse. But preparation comes with a price. As the outbreak reaches Ohio, Marc is forced to make impossible choices. Who should he warn? Who should he save? How much can his family afford to share? And what happens when the people asking for help are no longer strangers? When the infected finally reach them, Marc and his family flee to a fortified cabin in the woods with only a few people they can trust. Then the radio goes silent. Strangers arrive at their door. Food begins to run out. And eventually, Marc must risk everything to rescue someone from the life he left behind.
