The year is 1940, when the threat of World War II is on America's horizon. A young woman named Carnegie Taylor is tired of losing people. She's already lost her mother to alcoholism, her brother to an explosion in the mines, and her father overseas after he'd been drafted to the army. Now mostly alone, Carnegie's only solace is in her cousin, Adam Mann, who she has been best friends with the entirety of her life. When Adam announces that he has been drafted into the military just like her father, Carnegie is horrified. Adam promises to write her as much as possible during a heartfelt goodbye, but so little letters actually arrive that Carnegie is constantly worried. All seems grim when suddenly, a heartbroken Carnegie finds herself in a fantasy world that embodies her own imagination. Shocked, she dives deeper into the mystery, finding happiness where you least expect it. Carnegie calls it the hall- taking the form of whatever she wished and making it seem as real as you could get. Slowly, however, the hall begins to show her the evils she never even knew existed. Carnegie soon realizes that in order to escape the hall, she must come face to face with all the demons that she's been hiding for years and save herself.

*COMPLETED* When Rosie turned thirty-one with nothing to show for it, she panicked. Suddenly it felt like her biological clock was ticking, but she didn't want to settle for a man for the sake of having a child. So, after falling down a rabbit hole of research online, she decided to find herself a sperm donor. A strangely vague profile ends up catching her interest. The only real thing she learned about him was that his name was Levi and he was in the military. One invasive and intimate procedure later, Lily was conceived. It was a few months after her daughter was born, when Rosie should have been fretting about the price of nappies and lack of sleep, her worries were overshadowed by an event she never, ever could have predicted: a zombie outbreak. Rosie locked herself away in Finches tower block, stocked up on supplies from abandoned neighbouring flats, and lived every day with the sole purpose of keeping her daughter alive. Doing so meant avoiding the dead as well as the living. She'd been doing a decent job of it so far. Until a man breaks into the tower block, but it wasn't just any man. It was Levi, Lily's literal sperm donor. And he was there to save them. -- When a bioweapon was released on UK soil, Staff Sergeant Levi James Brackley was sent from pillar to post in an attempt to help neutralise and contain. Once it was clear neither was possible the last resort was to form a safe zone on the Isle of Wight. Levi decided to stay behind. The last evac chopper left without him on board. He knew it was a shot in the dark, that they were probably dead already, but he had to try. Without knowing it, they'd become a beacon of light during the darkest time of his life. Now it was his turn to be there's.
