All Of Us Are Dead

Prolouge

In the seemingly tranquil town of Everbrook, where the pace of life is slow and the days blend into one another, a sense of unease stirs beneath the surface. The sun casts long shadows over the quiet streets, and the once comforting sounds of the town now seem to carry an ominous undertone. It is a place where secrets slumber, waiting for the right moment to awaken and unravel the fabric of normalcy.

Ashta Reed, new to Everbrook and brimming with hope, is about to discover that the town's serene facade hides a darkness that threatens to consume her. Moving to this quiet enclave with her father's new job is supposed to be a fresh start, but what lies ahead is far from ordinary. As the new girl at Everbrook High, Ashta is thrust into a world where the lines between reality and nightmare blur, and every seemingly benign encounter hides a deeper, more sinister truth.

The first day at Everbrook High is a whirlwind of introductions and peculiarities. Ashta's gaze meets Tommie Cooper's, and while their connection feels electric, an unsettling chill lingers in the air. Quin Thompson, her soon-to-be closest friend, is the only one who seems genuinely welcoming, but even his light-hearted demeanor can't fully mask the strange happenings around them. And Jake Reed, her older brother, quickly establishes himself as a figure of both fascination and fear, his antics casting long, unsettling shadows.

As days pass, the unsettling atmosphere deepens. Quin and Ashta's friendship becomes a rare source of comfort amidst the growing unease. Tommie's curiosity about Ashta grows, but it's not just curiosity—it's as if he's drawn to something more darkly compelling. The town's quiet streets seem to whisper secrets, and the shadows cast by the setting sun grow longer and more sinister.

The backdrop of school events—the innocent joy of outings, the lively chaos of parties—begins to take on a darker hue. Strange occurrences become more frequent, and the once safe haven of Everbrook High starts to feel like a stage for something far more horrifying. What started as an innocent relocation quickly spirals into a battle for survival, where the familiar faces of friends and neighbors might be hiding something truly terrifying.

In Everbrook, where every friendly smile might mask a hidden terror, Ashta will face a chilling reality. The peaceful town is slowly giving way to something monstrous, and as she delves deeper into her new life, she will uncover a truth more horrifying than she could have ever imagined.

The adventure has taken a turn for the macabre, and in this new chapter of her life, Ashta must confront the darkness that lurks just out of sight. The nightmare is only beginning.
