Zombies don't look like how they did in movies. Or TV shows. Or Halloween costumes.

They look like regular people, except a little paler, and a little greener. They run, they walk, and they crawl.

They have no heartbeat. They don't breathe. They just run, attack, and eat, in that order.

But that's not the worst part, oh not even close. The worst part isn't when they attack ones you love and eat them alive, or when they sneak up on you and wrap their long, dead fingers around your neck and sink their teeth into your flesh.

The worst part is the noises they make. The gurgling, growling, teeth snapping sounds they make are what drives you crazy. That's what causes people to kill themselves, shoot themselves right in the head or run right into a herd of them. That's what causes people rip off their own ears, hoping and praying that it will stop them from hearing their terrible noises.

But it doesn't. It never stops. Because there is no escaping the noises. There is no escape.

Emmy's life is going just as she'd planned: She's living in her own apartment, dancing every day and is just leaps away from being named her company's next Prima ballerina. And she's only 17. But all of Emmy's plans come to a screeching halt when the FBI shows up at her door to let her know that she's being stalked by a serial killer. Suddenly, the safe, insulated world she created for herself is riddled with violence, fear...and a growing pile of dead bodies. At first Emmy wants nothing more than to forget her chilling new reality - but her admirer isn't finished with her yet, and before she knows it, Emmy's stuck in a nightmare she can't dance her way out of. Content and/or trigger warning: This story contains detailed scenes of murder, rape, torture, sex and stalking, which may be triggering for some readers. [[word count: 80,000-90,000 words]]
