"abditory" is a psychological thriller that explores the intricacies of identity, perception, and the fine line between reality and imagination.
In the bustling hospital, two women find solace in each other's company. It was as if they were two sides of the same coin, each facing their own struggles and challenges. Meave, a dedicated nurse who lacks empathy and compassion, and Lola, a patient battling an unknown illness, form an unlikely bond. Despite their different personalities, they quickly discover a shared sense of sympathy and understanding.
But amidst their personal bonding, a sense of unease surrounds the two women. They start experiencing strange occurrences that they can't explain. Patients go missing, medical equipment malfunctions without reason, and eerie voices whisper in the empty corridors. Both women's grip on reality starts to slip as they question their own sanity. Both Meave and Lola began to notice a young woman wandering through the hospital corridors. She appears ethereal, her presence both comforting and mysterious. They would catch glimpses of her out of the corner of their eyes, but whenever they turned to face her, she
vanishes without a trace.
Both of them, grappling with the truth, discover that their perception of each other has been mistaken all along and things really aren't what they seem.
When will they discover who they are?

A Different Virus - Laura's Story
This is a second view point from my original story - A Different Virus - Heartfire. I highly advise reading the original book first. Intro: Laura was a happy child without a care in the world. She loved her parents and life was perfect. Nothing seemed like it could go wrong. People started talking about a bad flu that was spreading and sending some into a coma. Her parents grew worried and stocked the house in case of a pandemic. Months later another virus appeared. Her family was shocked when the news people started reporting that zombies were actually real and not just part of a horror movie. They were appearing in every country. Her parents reassured her that none of the zombie sightings had been anywhere close to them. Her life is turned upside down when her father ends up in hospital with the bad flu and mother exiles her upstairs for her safety. She was never allowed downstairs again. Weeks pass and the streets become deserted with the exception of the red eyed zombies that wandered around. One night she notices a swiftly moving figure with glowing blue eyes in the street below. Should she call out or remain silent? Is this fleeting shadow something that can help her or could this mysterious figure be even more dangerous than the zombies themselves? ---------------------- Ranked #1 Apr 10, 2018 (A huge thank you to all who read and voted!)

I guess you need to feel the bottom. The only problem - you don't know where that bottom is."

Senna believes that if she can get the device to work, she can use it to contact the life she left behind. However, it isn't her old life she reaches when she gets the device to power on. Instead she catches the SOS of a little girl who claims to be held captive in the toxic world outside of the dome.
