Faceless
In the bustling streets of Tokyo, high schooler Aiko leads an ordinary life, balancing classes, friends, and the humdrum of city noise. But one fateful evening changes everything. Nearly struck by a speeding car, Aiko is saved by a mysterious faceless man-his touch cold yet strangely comforting. When she regains consciousness, he's vanished without a trace.
Haunted by fleeting glimpses of him in the shadows-on rainy nights, dim alleys, or reflections in windows-Aiko grows obsessed with uncovering the truth. Who is this silent guardian, and why does he protect her? As her search deepens, friends and family question her sanity, insisting the "Faceless Man" is a figment of her imagination.
Determined to prove them wrong, Aiko embarks on a dangerous journey into the city's underbelly, where urban legends and forgotten secrets lurk. But the closer she gets to unraveling his identity, the more she realizes the truth might cost her more than she's ready to sacrifice.
A haunting tale of courage, mystery, and the blurred line between reality and the unknown, Faceless will leave you questioning what lies just beyond the veil of the ordinary.
In the future, everyone who's bitten by a zombie turns into one... until Diane doesn't. Seven days later, she's facing consequences she never imagined.
* * * * *

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
