Flesh & Ghosts
The world ended in silence. Five years after civilization collapsed, Finn wanders through what's left, a lone survivor in a world where the dead once roamed freely. But something is changing. The undead are vanishing, and those that remain are deteriorating-collapsing, failing, as if something is draining the last remnants of their existence. After finding temporary refuge in Wake Forest with Shane, Eli, and Charlie, Finn begins to feel something unfamiliar: a sense of belonging. But tensions rise, emotions grow complicated, and unable to face the weight of it all, he leaves. On the road, he meets Noah and his small group of survivors, who share disturbing accounts of the dead dropping without warning. Marie, one of Noah's group, reveals that she was cornered by a herd of undead-only for them to collapse around her. And in the moments after, she saw something move. Something unnatural. Something not human. Now, Finn faces an impossible choice: return to the people he left behind or push forward and uncover the truth about what's happening before it's too late. Because whatever force is at play, it isn't just wiping out the dead-it's reshaping the world itself.
