Caelum has lived a life of fractured identities, hiding behind masks shaped to protect, to please, to save. For years, he crafted versions of himself - the warrior who fights without rest, the healer who bleeds for others, the shadow who hides pain behind a smile, the clown who laughs despite the scars, even an angel of justice, a savior for the weak. Each mask grew into a being of its own, reflections of what the world needed from him, leaving Caelum himself buried beneath their weight.

Now, on a journey as dark as it is liberating, Caelum hunts down each of these personas, confronting the fragments of himself he once believed in. As each mask fights to survive, he faces his own past: the clown who ignored his pain to bring others joy, the healer who neglected himself to heal the wounded, the warrior who wore himself to exhaustion in others' battles. Each encounter strips away a layer, revealing the truth he has buried for too long.

However, while she's rescuing another survivor, Diane gets bitten by one of the monsters. She hides it and runs away, knowing she only has days left to live. But she soon discovers she isn't turning into a zombie - she's turning into something else. --------- Excerpt: I looked up and stared. My reflection looked back at me in the mirror of the dark room. My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.
