"You think I'm a murderer, don't you? That I've taken lives for some twisted reason, that I'm no better than the Fever itself. Maybe you're right...maybe not. But before you decide, hear me. Let me tell you why it looks the way it does, why the world turned to ash around us, and why I did what I had to do. They call it the Gray Fever, a plague that devours lungs and nerves. But it wasn't enough to kill us all-they built walls, hoarded medicine, and left the rest of us to rot. I grew up outside those walls, watched my people starve, watched the people I loved fade into gray. And when the chance came to fight back, to uncover the truth...well, I took it. Yes, people died. People always die in war and rebellion. But every death I caused, every life I touched, has a story behind it. A reason. I'm not here to beg for forgiveness. I'm here to tell you the truth. Because if you judge me without knowing the story, then you're no different than those who abandoned us in the first place. So listen. This is my story. This is why I am who I am. And maybe...just maybe...by the time you've heard it, you'll understand."

Emma must decide whether to stay in her comfortable but unfulfilling Boston life or take a leap of faith to build a future with Jake in Vermont-risking everything she's worked for to reclaim the happiness she lost a decade ago.

Going through my pictures, I went to the one that I had just taken, and the phone slowly slipped out of my grasp. What had escaped my notice before is that the couch I had taken the picture on was against a window, which showed the backyard of the house. But in this picture, it wasn't an empty backyard. No, behind my smiling face was another one, outside the window. It was his face. Covered with a black ski mask, watching me. *** All 19-year-old Layna wanted to do was forget about the guy that broke her heart, and move on with her new boyfriend Brian. But instead, she unwittingly attracted the attention of a stalker. Someone who had been watching her every move for a month, plotting and planning for the perfect moment when he could take her. What Layna never would have expected was that when he finally kidnaps her, she would have to undergo "The Test". The Test that the girls before her had gone through. The one they failed, and payed heavily for. Will she pass The Test or will she die like the others?

PS: I do use AI for grammar and spelling but it is still my story and idea and I still have my own creative direction I did so it is easier for you to be able to read ... A boy wakes up in a broken world, his backpack scattered, his heart heavy with questions. The sky feels too quiet, the shadows too close. Nothing looks familiar-except the weight of betrayal already burning inside him. He doesn't know who to trust. He doesn't even know if the light that saved him is real... or just another lie. But one thing is clear: the world is falling apart, and he's the only one still standing. In a place where hope is shattered and family cuts deeper than enemies, survival isn't enough-you have to fight to keep your soul.
