A struggling linguist named Mara stumbles upon a subway line that doesn't exist on any map. The train only runs between 3:00 a.m. and sunrise. Each stop on the line takes her to a part of the city that feels like a dream made real-where memories can be bought, shadows whisper secrets, and forgotten gods ride in silence. Mara is pulled into a cryptic mission by the city's hidden architects, who claim the city is waking-and if it fully awakens, reality will tear apart.

BITE YOUR TONGUE -2(ON HOLD)
Years after the fall of the vampire king, the world has forgotten the love that burned hearts to ash. The throne is no longer empty- it is ruled by cold hands, and whispers of betrayal have faded into myth. But fate does not forget. In a quiet town, a girl grows up carrying secrets she doesn't understand- a chest, an old book of folklore, and eyes that seem to echo someone she's never met. She only knows that shadows follow her steps, and danger lingers where she least expects. At the same time, two strangers cross paths. Drawn together, bound by something beyond this life, they cannot explain why every glance feels like remembering. As darkness stirs again, old bloodlines awaken. And the past is not done with them yet.

The Echo Protocol
In the Bronx, NY, a struggling urban planner named Malik Diarra receives a strange encrypted file from a long-dead colleague. The file contains blueprints for a subway expansion that was never built-and shouldn't exist.
