Ghosts

Sometimes the dead doesn't exactly 'die' right. Sometimes the process gets stuffed up and the dead don't die as they should. They linger around the earth for the rest of eternity while we live our lives the way we do.

If you ask a random stranger if this is true, they will probably say it is a myth. It's hard to accept that the dead watch your every move; that they never leave your side, whether you be graduating high school or getting married. Really, the dead are the only things that are constant in life besides time. And the day that time is no longer used, the dead will remain.

Now you've probably wondered why you've never seen one. The human eye is incapable of seeing them, but animals like the Chameleon can. Dogs and other animals with higher hearing frequency can hear and sense them. So to us, they're invisible.

When a person dies wrong, they call it 'Zoak'. When they die, it's like they get sucked into a black hole for years, and they get spit back out as ghosts. 'Zoak' is a word in the language of the dead, a language mankind will never need to know, meaning 'Darkness".

The victims are called the Zoakaic. (Pronounced zo-kay-ick)

But what happens when two teenagers embark on a journey to work out the riddle of the Zoakaic? Will they work it out, or will it just make the whole situation more confusing?
