In the summer of 1963, in the quiet town of Millwood, Georgia, Edith Abbott and Walter Greene find love in the simplest moments-morning pastries, shared dreams, and fleeting glances. Edith, the bright and lively heart of her family's bakery, and Walter, a shy and introspective painter, are drawn together despite their differences. As they build a life together, their love stands strong through the years, until tragedy strikes. When Edith falls ill, Walter desperately tries to preserve her memory through his art, only to find time slowly stealing the details of her face. A poignant tale of love, loss, and the struggle to hold onto the past, this story lingers like a fading painting-beautiful, heartbreaking, and unforgettable.
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.
* * * * *
As civilization collapses under a relentless wave of zombies, Diane and her friends take shelter in a military base. 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.

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
