"Earth stopped spinning. Most died in the cold. The rest... changed."
Years after the catastrophe, a survivor is dragged into an interrogation room, accused of knowing too much. But what he remembers-what he lived through-isn't something you can explain. There were symbols carved into skin, voices that didn't speak, and shadows that wore human faces.
This is not just a story about survival.
It's about what's left of you after the cold gets in.

❝𝓣𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓴 𝔂𝓸𝓾❞
When two parents in Russia begin to worry about their quiet son, they tell themselves it is nothing. Boys speak late sometimes. Some children are simply shy. But in the late 1940s, silence feels heavier than it should. Though he was not quiet by choice, perhaps it was safer that way. In a time when neighbors listened through walls and governments listened through wires, many preferred silence over sound. So when they hear of a man, a "miracle doctor," they call him one who specializes in children who are "lacking," and they allow themselves hope. Five months later, hope returned, with a black case delivered to their door. It is filled with money. Their son is gone And on top rests a single note. "Thank you."

Ashes of the hollow
The world ended not with fire, but with silence. Cities crumbled. Nature crept back. And in the ruins, the dead did not stay dead. Kael, a quiet survivor hardened by loss, trusts only his instincts. Lara, fierce and stubborn, refuses to let the world strip away her humanity. Together, they wander through forests, rivers, and the bones of cities-searching for hope in a land crawling with horrors. But the dead are changing. Some move in packs. Some hunt with unnatural speed. And some... some remember. When whispers of a hidden sanctuary reach them-a place untouched by the plague-they must choose: keep running from the dark, or risk everything for the faintest spark of tomorrow. In a world where laughter feels like betrayal and love is a dangerous luxury, survival is not enough. They must rediscover what it means to live.

Can You Hear Me Now
She lived inside circles. Of thought. Of circuitry. Of silence. Subject C-4-L-1-X was calibrated to remain unknown-until her mind spiraled outward and touched something in the static. Now the signals blur. Reality loops. And her name isn't the only one echoing beneath the surface. There are frequencies no one should hear. And hers has already been remembered. The frequency is unstable. The layers are not quiet. She was never the echo. She was the origin.Complete
