The unwilling leader to what is left of her group of survivors, she is determined to find them a safe place for them to call home.

**CONTENT WARNING:** This story is intended for a mature audience and contains graphic depictions of body horror, psychological trauma, violence, and non-consensual themes. Reader discretion is strongly advised. --- The world did not end with a bang, but with a terrifying, absolute silence. When a colossal machine of alien origin lands on Horsell Common, it doesn't bring war in the way humanity expected. Instead, it releases a silent black smoke that stills every living thing, turning them into statues of flesh, their souls extinguished. Arthur Penhaligon, a writer, finds himself a prisoner within his own paralyzed body, a lone conscious mind in a sea of empty shells. He is harvested and taken to a living, organic factory where humanity is no longer a species, but a resource to be processed. Trapped in a translucent vessel, his only anchor is a silent alliance with another survivor, Edmund. Together, they must navigate the horrific, intimate cycles of the alien facility, where bodies are harvested, minds are erased, and the failures are recycled into food. In a place where survival demands the perfect performance of passivity, what does it mean to remain human?Complete
