In a land where the fog never lifts and the sun burns without mercy, a lone traveler marches through an endless desert. He owns nothing-not his name, not his path, not even his suffering. Yet every step he takes defies the void around him. Haunted by visions, tested by mirages, and confronted by a mysterious companion in white, he grapples with questions of purpose, faith, and the crushing weight of his own choices.
Is his journey defiance... or delusion?
Is the desert his prison... or his forge?
And if he ever escapes the fog-what then?
A haunting, philosophical tale of struggle, madness, and the relentless pursuit of meaning in a world that offers none. Are you ready to dive in this journey?

The Pale March
They don't chase. They wait. And they already know your truth. After the world fell silent, after machines turned against the minds that made them, a new terror emerged: the Pale Ones. Human-shaped and ghost-quiet, they come not for the body-but for the secrets no one dares to speak. You don't see them at first. But you feel them. Like gravity. Like guilt. Ty Mercer has walked a long way from Fort McCoy, farther than most, and seen what happens when people stop. He's learned to keep moving, even when he can't make the full thirty miles. He's learned the rules-but not the reasons. When he crosses paths with a ragged group of survivors in the shell of an abandoned megachurch, he gives them a choice: walk south or wait to be unmade. Among them: a boy with a gift for sensing the wrongness others ignore, an artist who draws what shouldn't exist, a preacher clinging to fire and judgment, and a woman who's lost more than she'll ever admit. Together, they march-not just to escape the Pale Ones, but to outrun the truths that might doom them first. Because in this world, the ones who fall behind don't scream. They Whisper.Complete

People are going mad and dying off like flies. There's no cure they can find. They only know one thing. Their last precious resource is going to be the death of them.

The middle social groups on Mars built survival shelters to prepare for the disaster, only the shelters contained thousands of years of. resources..as the planet had been aware of the impending catastrophe for over two centuries but failed to warn its inhabitants. Some believe that the changing weather and the fracturing of their civilization were due to the population explosion caused by CO2 breathers, who do not breathe oxygen but instead breathe CO2. The middle social group secured the backing of billions of donors, allowing them to build their shelters and survive. However, only ten people managed to survive in the end. This is their story of how they managed to travel from Mars, 3.1 billion years ago, to Earth. By samuel Hasley Hunwick, co-authors Noah, James, Shelby, Matt, Sunny, Kurt, John, Pat, and Sam.
