As the striking boy with the soft voice slips the dropped negative into Elise's palm, a sense of disbelief washes over her-this has to be a mistake. But in an instant, he vanishes, swallowed by the sea of frantic shoppers. Elise's heart races; she can't afford to lose her spot in the checkout line. If she doesn't get these groceries home, there will be no one else to do it.
Elise bears burdens that weigh heavier than most girls her age. With the weight of the world on her shoulders, she single-handedly cares for her little brother, leaving little room for friendships or joy. So when she learns that Sarah from school witnessed the entire encounter, a flicker of intrigue ignites within her. Who was that enigmatic stranger? Why was he so determined that the negative was meant for her? The questions claw at her mind, demanding answers she can't ignore.
Sarah beckons Elise into her home, the air thick with anticipation as they prepare to develop the negative. As the image slowly materializes, a chilling realization grips Elise-staring back at her is the haunting face of her deceased brother, Alex. Time freezes, and every heartbeat echoes the shock of his return from the void.

Dead Skies✔️ by Obsidian_Thirteen
10 parts Complete
A companion novella to The Shadow Wars and a direct sequel to Dead Ice. When the infection hit Frost Station in the form of a dozen corpses from a wrecked ship, Laura and her crew of isolated misfits didn't know quite how to deal with it. As a result, only she and two others barely escaped the bloody, frozen horror. Certain that they were flying off into the sunrise towards help and hope, they set off in a stolen medical jump ship. But now the terrifying reality of their situation is setting in. It's been twelve hours in the air and they're no closer to safety. They can't raise anyone on the radio and everywhere they fly over is either burning, dead, or overrun with walking corpses. They're running out of power and are soon forced to crash-land in a network of valleys... Mike Ellis is an engineer working at Peaceful Trails, a network of valleys that serves as a serene nature reserve, a place to get away from the world and relax. All that comes crashing to a bloody halt as he wakes up in an infirmary. He knows he's suffered an accident of some kind, but he can't remember what happened. What's worse, he is forced to call on old skills he learned as a soldier to defend himself when something, what appears to be an actual, real zombie, attacks him. The valleys are no longer safe and the only people he can find are a trio that claim they've come from the northern polar regions of Dis. They must work together to fight for survival and somehow find a way off of this hellish planet...
