Death. Have you feared death? Yes? No?
Well, it does not matter whether you fear it or not. But, humans have a tendency. A tendency to live. To be wealthy. And the desires go on... In this story, you will find everything. Desire, suicide, envy and murder. This story is a psychological thriller with a gist of mystery, which will put you on the edge of your seat.
The death of the mayor, how many people can it affect? 10? 20? 50? Well, the answer is none of the above. A death, which affected hundreds of innocent people, many of them lost their lives. This story is as deep as an iceberg.
The story is set in the 2030s when the crime rates had gone up. This fictional story would make you think, "There is more to this world than I'd even know." It may seem that the detectives are working on separate cases, but they are not. They are tied by a string. A rather narrow one.

Lunar Virus ✔️
Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!
